Megan Thee Stallion Addressed Klay Thompson Relationship
In case you missed it, the rap and sports fandoms were united last week when Meg debuted her relationship with NBA star Klay Thompson.
In a sneaky move, she soft-launched the romance on July 9 by posting a cute bikini photo on Instagram, where the Dallas Mavericks' star could be seen relaxing on a sun lounger in the background. It didn't take long for eagle-eyed fans to notice him, and a few days later, Klay confirmed the relationship by including a couple of sweet pics of Meg in his vacation Instagram dump.
And now, less than a week after Meg first teased the romance, the pair have taken their relationship to the next level with their official red carpet debut at the rapper's Inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala, which took place in NYC last night.
Meg stunned on the red carpet in a sleek black gown, and Klay matched her vibe in a black tux. The couple posed for tons of pictures together, and online, fans can't help but observe how smitten they appear — and how good they look together, obvs.
We don't actually know how long these two have been dating away from the public eye. However, while discussing the relationship for the very first time at the Gala, Meg teased their 'meet cute' during an interview with People, saying that their first meeting 'was like a fucking movie.'
'I won't tell you how and I won't tell you when,' she said, somewhat cryptically, 'but it was a movie...he's the nicest person I've ever met in my life.'
Adorably, in another red carpet interview with Page Six, Megan said she's never dated anybody as 'kind' as Klay, saying: 'This is my first relationship where I've ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.'
From 2020 to 2023, Meg was dating fellow rapper Pardison 'Pardi' Fontaine. Since their split, she's been linked with soccer player Romelu Lukaku and Chicago Bulls player Torrey Craig, the latter of whom was accused of cheating on her.
'I just never dated somebody like him before, and I'm just grateful that he's here by my side and he feels the same way about me,' she said of Klay.
If you follow Meg, you'll know that she's definitely not had it easy over the past few years, so it's amazing to see her this happy! It's officially a Hot Girlfriend Summer.

For 2025-26 Rockets, Shaq views Kevin Durant as a ‘more consistent Jalen Green'
'Definitely got a closer,' NBA analyst and former superstar Shaquille O'Neal says of Houston's recent trade for Kevin Durant. Count TNT analyst and former NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal as among those bullish on the Kevin Durant era of the Houston Rockets. 'Definitely got a closer,' O'Neal said of the Durant acquisition. He spoke in an exclusive interview with RG's DJ Siddiqi. 'Should get them higher, higher towards the top,' O'Neal continued. 'I know they let go of Jalen Green, and he carried them last year, but KD is a more consistent Jalen Green. Jalen Green was too up and down for them to get to the next level.' 'Listen, if KD is healthy and shooting the ball well, they can make some noise.' Last season, in averaging more than 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists per game on elite efficiency, Durant earned the 15th All-Star selection of his distinguished career. The future Hall of Famer, former Most Valuable Player (MVP), and two-time NBA Finals MVP and champion turns 37 years old in September. As for Green (traded to Phoenix in the Durant package), the 23-year-old's inconsistency was on full display during the recently completed 2025 NBA playoffs. He had a team-high 38 points, 6 assists, and 3 steals in a Game 2 victory over the Golden State Warriors. In that first-round game, he made 13-of-25 shots (52.0%) and 8-of-18 from 3-point range (44.4%). But in the other six games of the series, Green never exceeded 12 points or 40% shooting. Houston lost four of those six, including a season-ending loss in a winner-take-all Game 7 at home. With Green as their top perimeter scorer, the Rockets were a good team, as evidenced by their 52-30 record in the regular season and a No. 2 placement in the Western Conference standings. But there were offensive limitations that ultimately got exposed in high-leverage, playoff situations. The hope is that Durant brings many of the same highs, but without nearly the same lows.

NBA Summer League: Takeaways From OKC Thunder's Eight-Game Slate
SALT LAKE CITY, UT - JULY 5: Brooks Barnhizer #23 of the Oklahoma City Thunder runs up the court ... More during the first half of their NBA Summer League game agaisnt the Memphis Grizzlies at the Jon M. Huntsman Center on July 5, 2025 in Salt Lake City, Utah. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this photograph, User is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo by) Another successful NBA Summer League stint has officially come to an end, as the Oklahoma City Thunder packed eight games into its slate of action. The Thunder rolled out a roster loaded with talent, but the availability of players fluctuated as the weeks went on. Even for a team like the Thunder, who just won a title, NBA Summer League is essential. For starters, this is an opportunity for some of the young and inexperienced players to gain experience on the court, as some will be called upon to be in the rotation this season. Furthermore, the Thunder has a rich history of finding legitimate contributors with its two-way deals, and both of the team's players on those contracts competed this summer. The third two-way spot is still up for grabs, which is another reason NBA Summer League was so valuable, as the team evaluates players from all around the league in this setting to see who might be the best fit. Oklahoma City went 1-2 in Salt Lake City, but quickly turned a corner as the team kicked off play in Las Vegas. The Thunder started off that second stretch of action with a 4-0 record, ultimately earning the second seed in the playoffs. But in the semifinal round, the Thunder suffered a 29-point loss to the Charlotte Hornets. While a 5-3 record is great, the things that matter in NBA Summer League transcend the standings. In general, this is a forum that is much more individualized, but serves a very important purpose. What were the biggest takeaways and learnings from the Thunder's NBA Summer League stint? Ajay Mitchell Should Play Key Role Although his rookie season lost some momentum due to an injury that kept him out down the stretch of the regular season, Mitchell was undoubtedly one of the best rookies in last year's class. He truly made an impact on winning, showcasing disruptive defense and secondary playmaking off the bench. In NBA Summer League, he took things to a whole new level. He proved that he's a legitimate NBA rotation player by consistently dominating competition, and at times looking too good to even be out there. Year two will be big for Mitchell, as he'll be asked to step up and play an even bigger role as OKC looks to repeat as champions. Rookie Nikola Topic Will Need Reps After being a likely top-five pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, a knee injury hurt his draft stock, and he fell to the Thunder at No. 12 overall. Now, over a year later, and with a fully repaired ACL, Topic took the floor in NBA Summer League. There's plenty for the 19-year-old to clean up, but given it had been nearly 18 months since he had played organized basketball, this summer was wildly impressive. Topic was one of the most productive passers in the entire league this summer, though he did struggle with turnovers as well. He didn't convert on his shots at a high rate, but the process was certainly there. Topic has a clear path to being a starting-level NBA guard, but this summer proved that he's going to need a lot of reps before that happens. Second-Round Pick Brooks Barnhizer Can Impact Winning Thunder GM Sam Presti is so good at winning on the margins, and he may have done it again with Brooks Barnhizer. A second-round pick from the 2025 NBA Draft on a two-way contract, he was the ultimate winner this summer. Barnhizer is a monster on the glass, a disruptive defender and overall just an energetic glue guy who plays with a different level of infectious intensity. When he's on the floor, good things happen. He's not a primary scorer or a prospect with star upside, but there's no question he has the tools to one day be a very important player on the Thunder's roster. Brandon Carlson Has 15-Man Roster Upside Speaking of two-way players with the ability to produce at the NBA level, Brandon Carlson is back in Oklahoma City this season. As good as he was last season, it's somewhat surprising that he wasn't picked up by another team this offseason. But that's great for the Thunder, as the floor-spacing, shot-blocking center is back with the team yet again. This time last season, Carlson was viewed as a player with interesting potential, but was much older relative to his peers and perhaps not a bona fide NBA talent. But after his excellent 2024-25 campaign, followed by a fantastic — though short — NBA Summer League stint, there's reason to believe Carlson could be with the Thunder for many more years. Especially as the roster gets crunched in the upcoming season due to extensions kicking in and finances getting tighter, Carlson could slide onto the 15-man roster as the third center on a cheap deal and would be very good in that role. A Two-Way Contract Could be in Chris Youngblood's Future With Barnhizer and Carlson locked into two-way deals, there's still one spot left. Just a few weeks ago, Victor Lahkin and Payton Sandfort looked like potential candidates for that slot, but were still injured and couldn't even compete in NBA Summer League. With that in mind, Chris Youngblood took the opportunity to make a strong case for that third spot in Las Vegas. The dynamic guard burst onto the scene for Oklahoma City over the past two weeks, showcasing a diverse scoring arsenal and a very reliable perimeter shot. He may have been the Thunder's biggest riser of the summer, which could be worthy of a two-way spot. From here, it will be a slower period of time until training camp begins and the preseason comes around. That will be late September, meaning there are roughly two more months until the action is back.
