Shooters shoot! Klay Thompson seemingly confirms Megan Thee Stallion dating rumors
Klay Thompson is ditching subtlety and letting followers know the rumors are true – he and Megan Thee Stallion are dating.
The longtime NBA star took to Instagram over the weekend, posting a carousel of photos July 13 featuring a shot of him and the Houston rapper in an intimate embrace. Later in the slideshow, another shot shows just their hands clasped together, beachside, Thomspon's blue and gold Rolex paired with Megan's baby pink acrylics and abalone shell jewelry.
USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Megan and Thompson for comment.

The post is captioned simply "Sweet Bells son 🌴 🥥," the emojis no doubt a nod to the Bahamas, where the two appeared to be vacationing. Thompson's father, Mychal Thompson, a former NBA player, is Bahamian.
While Megan's face doesn't appear in any of the photos, her unmistakable figure (hottie bootcamp tap in) and voluminous curls left little room for dispute. In a separate post days earlier, Megan spawned rumors of the romance by posting a bikini pic with a man in the background, whom fans speculated was Thompson.

The pairing, certainly not the first crossover between a music star and NBA royalty, feels apt for Thompson's recent geographic shift. After over a decade with the Golden State Warriors, the 35-year-old shooting guard was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2024.
Megan, a powerhouse in the rap genre, is a Texas native, born in San Antonio and raised in Houston. Her music notches into Dirty South traditions, her lyrics often referring to Houston, and her style is steeped heavily in rodeo glam.
Now a pair, Thompson and Megan may just be the Longhorn State's biggest power couple yet.

Scott Wolf's estranged wife, Kelley, claims she was ‘held against' her will while ‘trying to file for divorce'
Scott Wolf's estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, made a bombshell claim after his divorce filing. The 48-year-old claimed in a lengthy Instagram post Thursday that she was 'held against [her] will' by 'a small but very vocal group of PC ex-friends.' The 'Real World' alum, who referred to her former pals as 'The Army of Eight,' said they were 'worried about' her. 'F–k them,' Kelley continued in her lengthy caption. 'No one showed up. No one lit a candle or asked a question. They called the cops from a beach town in Florida or somewhere seaside… while sipping cocktails.' 'That's not love,' she added. 'That's control. What happened was legal. But it wasn't right. And it should never be that easy to weaponize concern — especially against women.' Since Kelley considers herself to be 'the person you call in a crisis,' she railed against her friends for 'turning on' her. The former reality star went on to clarify that even though Scott, 58, filed for divorce on June 10, she was allegedly the one to 'initiate a separation almost a year ago.' She explained, 'I've been trying to file for divorce for months, but delays with legal counsel slowed the process. Yes, the official petition came from the other party, but let the record show: I've been grieving this marriage for years.' Kelley went on to write that she is 'far past the grief' and 'well into the healing … very much so.' After gushing about how 'great' being single is, the life coach concluded, 'Don't worry about me. I'm good. I'm rested. My kids are safe. And I'm finally free.' She seemingly addressed her eight former friends in a separate upload about the 'dark … 'Control Kelley' game, writing, 'To the eight of you… BREATHE.' Scott's rep has yet to respond to Page Six's request for comment. The 'Party of Five' alum and Kelley tied the knot in May 2004, going on to welcome Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11. The MTV alum praised her estranged husband as 'one of the best fathers [she has] ever known' while announcing their breakup via Instagram earlier this month. 'This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children,' she wrote. In a statement of his own, Scott called his divorce filing the 'most difficult decision' of his life and asked for privacy while navigating the split. The duo have, however, continued to make headlines as Kelley was detained and hospitalized after allegedly making 'concerning' statements to family members. 'I think Scott Wolf is abusing me, and now you are abusing me more,' the 'Challenge' alum told the officers, without elaborating, in Instagram Live footage of the moment. There was a 'family fight' beforehand, according to the 911 call described in the Summit County Sheriff's Office's official report. Additionally, Utah police were called over an alleged assault by a female aggressor allegedly putting 'her hands around [a man's] neck' at their residence back in March. Upon her return from the hospital Wednesday, Kelley posted pictures from a bar.

Scott Wolf files for restraining order against estranged wife Kelley as contentious divorce gets uglier
Scott Wolf filed for a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, in the latest development of their contentious divorce. The 'Party of Five' actor's request, which he submitted in Utah Tuesday, contains a declaration from himself and his brother Michael Wolf, according to Us Weekly. 'It's so sad for the kids,' an insider close to Kelley told the outlet, referring to the estranged couple's three children: Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11. 'Kelley is ready to fight like hell for her children,' the source added. 'It is not warranted, it's cruel. And it's incorrect.' On Wednesday, a Utah judge granted Scott's petition for a temporary restraining order and was awarded temporary sole physical and legal custody of their children. The court order alleges Kelley 'engaged in an escalating pattern of behavior that poses a substantial threat of immediate and irreparable harm to the parties' minor children,' per Us Weekly. Reps for Scott, 57, did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. Earlier this month, the exes announced they were separating after 21 years of marriage. 'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage,' Kelley wrote via Instagram on June 10. 'This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children. While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion.' At the time, the 'Real World' alum referred to her estranged husband as 'one of the best fathers [she's] ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with.' Three days later, however, Kelley was detained and taken to the hospital on an 'involuntary hold' after allegedly making 'concerning' remarks to a family member. She also accused Scott of 'abusing' her — though a man at their Utah residence claimed to police that an unnamed woman had aggressively assaulted him in March. Despite the setback, Kelley shared a photo of herself at a bar shortly after she was released from the hospital with medical bracelets on her wrist. On Wednesday, Kelley confirmed via Instagram that she was put on a mental health hold and claimed her family was ghosting her. Scott, meanwhile, has remained silent about the drama online and instead shared that he was taking his kids on vacation. 'On the road with my forever squad,' he captioned a snap of his children walking through an airport terminal.

Kelley Wolf confirms she was placed on ‘involuntary hold' after being detained by police: ‘All I really needed was a little help'
Kelley Wolf confirmed she was placed on an 'involuntary hold' when she was detained by Utah police and hospitalized amid her divorce from Scott Wolf. The 'Real World' alum also claimed she's now being ghosted by her family in an Instagram post shared Monday. 'I'm not sure what's worse—being erased, or still believing someone might show up,' she captioned a picture of her dog with a message reading, 'Sorry buddy. I can't get the dog food today. Let's share this @mcdonalds burger?' She then called out Scott's friend, 'Extra' host Billy Bush, who previously said she was 'getting the help she needs' in an Instagram video. '@billybush could you shoot me a Venmo for dog food? Can't get a hold of the fam!' she wrote. 'They sound like they're having a great time on their vacation in Cape Cod? It must be nice to go on a vacation instead of a involuntary hold and your rights taken away from you. But hey, I'm feeling pretty great!' Kelley also blasted Scott, with whom she shares three kids: Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11. 'Yeah… I thought being married for 21 years meant you had a partner in the storm,' she wrote. 'Not a ghost. Not silence. Not… this.' 'All I really needed was a little help,' she continued. 'A little humanity. Maybe even a tank of gas. But here I am, still giving what I don't have—because that's what mothers do.' But Kelley also noted that she was 'fine' and 'happy' after 'surviving an involuntary 5150' in an Instagram post on Monday, according to People. The post, in which she also said she was dating again, has since been deleted. 'No mental illness. No addictions,' she reportedly wrote. 'Just a woman who SURVIVED an involuntary 5150 and went on a 1st DATE 2-night. So nervous! OMG!' Scott's rep did not immediately get back to Page Six when asked for comment. The 'Party of Five' alum shared that he was taking their three kids on vacation in his Instagram Stories on Friday. 'On the road with my forever squad,' he wrote across a picture of them walking through an airport terminal. The family has been going through public drama after Kelley, 48, announced earlier this month that she and Scott, 57, were divorcing after 21 years of marriage. Just three days later, she was detained and hospitalized after allegedly making 'concerning' statements to family members. She accidentally streamed a part of her interaction with Utah police on Instagram Live, in which she was heard claiming to officers: 'I think Scott Wolf is abusing me, and now you are abusing me more.' In an Instagram post after the incident, she claimed she was 'held against [her] will' by 'a small but very vocal group of PC ex-friends.' 'F–k them,' Kelley wrote. 'No one showed up. No one lit a candle or asked a question. They called the cops from a beach town in Florida or somewhere seaside… while sipping cocktails.' 'That's not love,' she continued. 'That's control. What happened was legal. But it wasn't right. And it should never be that easy to weaponize concern — especially against women.'
