Smitten Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson enjoy romantic fishing date as NBA star gushes over his 'queen'
The new couple first sparked romance rumors earlier this month when the Dallas Mavericks forward was spotted in the Grammy winner's vacation snaps.
They since went Instagram official and even made their red carpet debut together as they stepped out for the Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City.
Now, the couple have shared their adventure away from the spotlight, as the Mavericks star took the rapper on 'another adventure' as they went fishing.
The wholesome date was documented by Megan - but posted onto Thompson's Instagram account - as she showed off their day from start to finish.
The video began with Megan - dressed in her 'sailor suit' - gushing over her new boo as they made their way to Thompson's boat.
She adorably labelled Thompson as the 'captain' and herself as the 'first mate' before cutting to a clip of the NBA star preparing the gear that they'd need for the trip.
In a later clip, Thompson declared: 'I got my queen on board, of course I feel cool. I'm the coolest guy in this harbor!'
Their trip then got underway as they set sail to a fishing location - with Megan even getting behind the wheel at one point as Thompson helped navigate her.
Upon arriving at the spot, Thompson swiftly changed into a camouflage wetsuit - which he claimed would help him hide from the fish. Megan, however, didn't share the sentiment and instead joked that he looked like a professional wrestler.
The Mavericks star then hopped in the water before being handed a spear and snorkeling away into the distance.
The caption to the post read: 'Boat days with Bae keep the haters away
'Mark my words, I WILL LAND A BIG FISH BEFORE THE OFF SZN IS OVER. I will manifest it'. Whether Thompson managed to accomplish that remains to be seen.
While most fans are in favor of the blossoming relationship between the rapper and NBA star, basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal doesn't see the relationship lasting.
The topic of the relationship was brought up on his 'Big Podcast' with Adam Lefkoe and guest Mike Tyson, and the Lakers icon predicted the couple wouldn't even make it to the end of the summer..
'Six weeks. The line is six weeks,' he said, referencing a fictional betting line.
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.

Novak Djokovic pulls out of Cincinnati and will not play before US Open
Novak Djokovic has pulled out of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati, the final warm-up tournament before the US Open. It marks the second straight year that the Serbian has withdrawn from the event, and means that he will not have played a competitive match between his loss to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semi-finals and the start of the US Open - a gap of almost a month and a half. A spokesperson for the Cincinnati Open, which begins on 7 August, confirmed that Djokovic had withdrawn. He also withdrew from this month's Canadian Open, another Masters 1000 event, which is currently underway. In recent years Djokovic - ranked the world No 6 - has opted for a fairly sparse calendar, choosing to preserve his body and aim to peak for the grand slam tournaments as he searches for a 25th major title. This time last year he withdrew from Cincinnati after winning Olympic gold, the one significant title which had eluded him throughout his career, and did not play between his Paris triumph and the US Open. He suffered a surprise defeat in the third round in New York to Alexei Popyrin. A lack of match sharpness has not been a major issue for him this season so far: Djokovic did not play between reaching the semi-finals at the French Open, when he also lost to Sinner, and Wimbledon, but produced a fine run to make the last four again. The 38-year-old said after his exit at Wimbledon, 'It's just age, the wear and tear of the body. As much as I'm taking care of it, the reality hits me right now. 'It's tough for me to accept that because I feel like, when I'm fresh, when I'm fit, I can still play really good tennis. I've proven that this year. But I guess playing best-of-five, particularly this year, has been a real struggle for me physically. 'The longer the tournament goes, the worse the condition gets. I feel like I'm going into the match with the tank half empty. It's just not possible to win a match like that.' He has not won a grand slam since the 2023 US Open, with Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz winning the last seven majors between them. Sinner is the defending champion in New York. has been granted a wildcard spot in the 16-strong draw alongside compatriot Olga Danilovic.

Pamela Anderson breaks silence on Meghan Markle's ‘rip off' Netflix cooking show
Pamela Anderson has finally spoken out on viral claims Meghan Markle 'ripped off' her cooking show with Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Fans of the Baywatch bombshell, 58, were left incensed when the former working Royal, 44, debuted her latest TV venture - which bore eerie similarities to Pamela's Cooking With Love, which premiered earlier this year on Prime Video. The Naked Gun star Anderson opened up on Sunday's Watch What Happens Live! - with host Andy Cohen asking her: 'On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking with Love?' Anderson, who was appearing alongside new love and co-star Liam Neeson responded: 'One. I didn't - I didn't really look, but I mean, I didn't invent cooking shows' adding that Markle 'is just doing her thing.' The drama erupted when Prince Harry 's wife gave People magazine some of her top domestic tips ahead of the release of With Love, Meghan, in March. These included how to 'elevate' a normal dinner – such as after ordering a takeaway, for example. Citing Chinese as a favorite delivery option, Markle told the US magazine: 'I like being able to do a hybrid, but even when I get a takeout I will try to plate it beautifully.' And discussing her new trademark As Ever – after she failed to secure copyright branding for her original name, American Riviera Orchard – she insisted: 'It's a learning curve. 'I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out and also be forgiving with myself through that.' shows The two former TV stars live more than a thousand miles apart, yet both were smiling and giggling in brightly lit country kitchens, filming aspirational cooking with photogenic friends and famous celebrities. Both are seen carrying wicker baskets of fruit and vegetables picked from their gardens, dancing with joy, and gleefully high-fiving their celebrity guests. Both series are even the same length: eight episodes. When Meghan's first episode was shown, it prompted withering complaints that she had copied Pamela's winning formula. 'So similar it's freaky,' said one reviewer, while others branded Meghan's series 'inauthentic' and 'copycat'. More charitable observers might put this down to coincidence, as neither show seems to deviate from the wholesome template of many an aspirational cookery program. However, while Markle filmed her series last summer, with the first trailer making its debut in January, Anderson's was commissioned back in February 2023 by Canadian broadcaster Flavour Network. And its trailer has been available for all to see since last October. Last month it was claimed Markle and Prince Harry's hopes of a new Netflix deal are 'dead' after their two most recent shows flopped, Meghan's lifestyle show failed to break into Netflix 's top 300 programs for the first half of 2025 and was even thrashed by multiple seasons of Suits. A second season of With Love, Meghan, was announced by the Duchess herself as the first season came out in March this year as part of the couple's $100million deal with the streaming giant, which expires this year
