Megan Thee Stallion gushes over NBA star Klay Thompson as couple hit major relationship milestone
Klay Thompson and rapper girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion took a major step in their relationship Wednesday when they made their red carpet debut. The couple stepped out as an item for the first time after a week of dropping sizzling hints about their blossoming romance on social media. The Grammy Award winner, 30, clutched her NBA beau's hand as they made their dazzling entrance into the Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City Wednesday evening. The love birds made for a striking pair as Megan wowed in an elegant halter-neck black gown complete with an asymmetrical silver embellishment at her hips. Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks star cut a dapper figure in a classic black-and-white tux. And, after finally taking their relationship public an evening earlier, the rapper couldn't resist gushing over the four-time NBA champion. 'I have never dated somebody so kind,' she told Page Six at the event at Gotham Hall. 'This is my first relationship where I've ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.' '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.' And the couple looked as loved-up as Megan claimed with the hoops star gave her a quick smooch before leaving her to take solo photos. Earlier this week, the Savage hitmaker shared sizzling bikini photos with her new beau in the background while they were enjoying a tropical couple's getaway together in the Bahamas. Fans noticed Thompson in the background on a sun lounger in photos that the rapper had posted of herself while on holiday over the weekend, sparking rumors that they are now an item. And they confirmed the speculation Tuesday night when they enjoyed a date night at New York hotspot Carbone. Their romance comes just three months after Megan's relationship with another basketball player, Boston Celtics small forward Torrey Craig, seemingly came to an end. Over the years, the 30-year-old has been romantically linked with a number of high-profile names, including Chelsea soccer star Romelu Lukaku. She also previously dated fellow rappers Tory Lanez — who is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after shooting her in the foot nearly five years ago — and Moneybagg Yo, as well as songwriter Pardison 'Pardi' Fontaine. In August of last year, the musician confirmed she was dating Craig after accidentally sharing a video of them together on TikTok. She posted a clip of her and Craig, who was playing for the Chicago Bulls at the time, carrying out a couple's challenge while laying in bed together. In the video, the loved-up pair fielded a series of questions on their relationship while shutting their eyes and pointing to the person. At one stage, they were even asked who said the words 'I love you' first, with both of them pointing to the other in a video that was quickly deleted. Meanwhile, Thompson, the son of former NBA player Mychal Thompson, recently wrapped up his debut season with the Mavericks after ending his 13-year stay with the Golden State Warriors in 2024. He put pen to paper on a three-year, $50m contract in Dallas via a six-team sign and trade, which also included the Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves. In his first year with the Mavs the shooting guard made 72 appearances, averaging 14 points, 3.4 rebounds and two assists per game.

Thursday's briefing: Jude undergoes op as Lionesses prepare for Euros last eight
The Lionesses are preparing for their Euro 2025 quarter-final with Sweden, while Crystal Palace are hopeful for a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) intervention on their European demotion. Parte médico de Bellingham. — Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadrid) July 16, 2025 Real Madrid and England midfielder Bellingham has undergone shoulder surgery. It was reported in May that Bellingham would have an operation following this summer's Club World Cup and on Wednesday, Real confirmed the procedure had taken place to treat a recurring dislocation of his left shoulder. The surgery is reportedly set to sideline him until October, but the Spanish club did not confirm any length of absence, saying only that Bellingham would now 'begin a period of rehabilitation prior to his return to recovery work'. Bellingham is now set to miss the start of Real's LaLiga campaign and also England's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia in September. Lucy Bronze urged defending champions England to draw on the underdog mentality buried deep in their DNA when they kick off their Euro 2025 quarter-final with Sweden in Zurich. 'We said we're a 'new England', a new team,' said Bronze. 'And what was meant by that was, we had a lot of younger players and new players who have very different experiences of playing for England compared to the likes of myself, where we know that England used to have to dig deep all the time, always. 'Like, 2015 was the first time we beat Germany – that's insane to think of right now. 'But England in the past, it was you have to dig out performances and you are maybe the underdog, you aren't the favourite. Whereas this England team has developed and changed.' "I hope common sense can prevail" 👀 With the Conference League draw around the corner, surely this dispute can get resolved quickly? 🤔 — The Rest Is Football (@RestIsFootball) July 16, 2025 Crystal Palace will mount a legal challenge to UEFA's decision to exclude them from next season's Europa League, with chairman Steve Parish announcing the club would appeal to CAS. The FA Cup winners have been demoted to the Conference League owing to what Europe's governing body says is a conflict of interest regarding former director and co-owner John Textor, who also owns part of Ligue 1 side Lyon. 'We are still fighting,' Parish told the The Rest is Football podcast. 'There's an appeal process, so we go to CAS which is the court for arbitration and, you know, we're very hopeful. We think we've got great legal arguments. 'We don't think this is the right decision by any means. We know unequivocally that John didn't have decisive influence over the club. 'We know we proved that beyond all reasonable doubt because it's a fact.' Italy win it right at the death! 😮 Cristiana Girelli heads home to send Italy through to the semi-final of the #WEuro2025 🇮🇹 — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 16, 2025 Cristiana Girelli's 90th-minute winner sent Italy through to the semi-finals of Euro 2025 after a 2-1 victory over Norway. Extra-time was looming after Girelli's second-half opener had been cancelled out by Norway's Ada Hegerberg, who had earlier missed a penalty. But Italy's captain stood up when her side needed her to power home a header from Guro Reiten's cross to book their last-four spot, where they will meet either Sweden or England. All eyes on tomorrow. Our #WEURO2025 quarter-final awaits. ⏳ — Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 16, 2025 England continue their assault on Euro 2025 with a tough-looking quarter-final against Sweden, hoping to build on explosive group wins against the Netherlands and Wales. Elsewhere, Welsh clubs Haverfordwest and Penybont, Northern Irish side Cliftonville and Irish Premier Division outfit St Patrick's Athletic are in Europa Conference League qualifying action.
