Klay Thompson & Megan Thee Stallion Hard Launch With Red Carpet Debut, Social Media Weighs In
After they both sneakily posted each other on Instagram, Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson have finally claimed each other in public.
While walking the red carpet at the ESPYs would have been the most elite way of stunting, the new couple kept it more low-key. Instead, they made their red carpet debut Wednesday evening at her inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala at Gotham Hall in New York City.
The foundation's mission is to give back to women, children, and senior citizens in underserved communities through education, safe housing, and healthcare. Megan's vision may have originated in her hometown of Houston, but the nonprofit's goal is to expand its reach globally.
The two were all smiles as they matched, with Megan rocking a black gown with a bedazzled belt while Thompson wore a classic black tux and a white button-up, finishing the look with a black bow tie.
Now that the romance is confirmed, Meg has no problem talking about how happy she is in her new relationship, with some subtle shots about why she retrospectively wasn't satisfied with previous partners.
'I have never dated somebody so kind,' the rapper told Page Six . 'This is my first relationship where I've ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.'
She added, '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 has previously publicly dated now-jailed rapper Tory Lanez, Pardison Fontaine, NBA player Torrey Craig, and was even linked to DaBaby at one point.
Thompson didn't speak to the media, instead letting Meg shine on her big night, but he said enough when he posted photos of the recent Bahamian vacation he shared with her. In the carousel post, there were a couple of photos that teased Meg without showing her face. It came just days after the rapper posted her own photo dump with a man who looked a lot like the four-time NBA champ lounging poolside behind her.
The much-deserved vacation comes before it's time for the Dallas Mavericks star to start gearing up for the 2025-26 season with a sidelined Kyrie Irving, a reasonably new teammate in Anthony Davis, and the hyped new rookie Cooper Flagg.
Now that the two are official, see social media's reaction to the hard launch below.

Gerard Piqué Shares Romantic Photos With His Girlfriend, Clara Chía Marti, in Arizona
THE RUNDOWN Gerard Piqué confirmed his relationship with Clara Chía Marti in January 2023, just seven months after he and Shakira publicly ended their 11-year relationship. The former FC Barcelona soccer player shared a selfie with Marti on Instagram at the time, marking their first post together after months of dating rumors. Prior to that, the pair had already been seen together in public, beginning in August 2022. Since going public, the couple has largely kept details of their relationship under wraps. Most recently, Piqué shared photos from a trip to Arizona, suggesting they're still together despite past speculation of a split. Little is publicly known about Marti outside her relationship with Piqué. She is originally from Barcelona and was a public relations student in 2022, according to multiple outlets, including Marca and The Sun, but she has not given any interviews or made public statements herself. Below, everything to know about Marti and her relationship with Piqué. Three months after Piqué and Shakira confirmed their separation, he was photographed with Marti at the Summerfest Cerdanya music festival in Catalonia. A few days later, they appeared together again at a wedding in Costa Brava, where they were seen holding hands. As of August 2022, Marti was reportedly employed in the public relations department of Kosmos, the sports and entertainment production company founded by Piqué. According to The Sun, sources said at the time, 'She is a student who also works for him in his office, organizing events.' Despite her proximity to Piqué, Marti has largely avoided the spotlight. Her Instagram account is private with a limited number of followers, including Piqué himself. Over the past three years, Marti and Piqué have taken several trips across Europe and beyond. They've been photographed in Monaco, Prague, Morocco, and, most recently, Arizona. According to Hola!, they visited Antelope Canyon in July 2025, and Piqué shared photos from the trip. One showed the couple kissing in front of the desert landscape. Piqué captioned the post simply, '🧡.' In a February 2025 appearance on Spanish TV show La Revuelta, Piqué spoke about how his life has been transformed since beginning his relationship with Marti. 'I've changed styles, as you mentioned before,' he said. 'My style is different now; I'm doing better in both areas. We're always evolving.' He added, 'I'm really good—really.' The couple became Instagram official in January 2023, when Piqué shared a selfie of the two without a caption. A second photo followed in May of that year. Since then, Marti has appeared occasionally in his feed, including during their trip to Abu Dhabi in October 2024 and to Arizona in July 2025. Piqué is currently 38 years old, and Marti is 26. In April 2024, the couple celebrated her 25th birthday with a trip to Madrid for the King's League final per Hola!. They were photographed together at the airport.

Teddi Mellencamp says her treatment for her stage 4 brain cancer is making her 'sicker.' Mellencamp, daughter of rock legend John Mellencamp and 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum, has revealed the toll her immunotherapy treatments have taken on her. 'Essentially, what we figured out with me was, yes, I started out feeling great, and I could do all the pods and I could do all these things, and I could go to all my daughter's horse shows and I could stay at my house by myself, and I felt really strong,' Mellencamp said on the Wednesday, July 23, episode of her and Tamra Judge's 'Two Ts in a Pod' podcast.

In a clip posted to Instagram Wednesday, Mellencamp said she 'cannot control exactly how I feel on each given day,' adding that she wants to take advantage of the days she's feeling 'really good.'

'I have multiple tumors in my brain that weren't able to be removed via surgery,' Mellencamp wrote in an Instagram post on March 6. 'I also have two tumors in my lungs.

'I just finished with all of my scans and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work, and that I will be back to myself and feeling good,' Mellencamp said. 'I'm going to keep a positive outlook because that's the way my doctor just spoke to me.'
