Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson confirm relationship on Instagram after weeks of speculation
On Saturday, Thompson shared an Instagram photo showing the couple relaxing together with the caption: 'Sweet Bells son.' The post gathered over 100,000 likes in under 40 minutes.
Adding to the buzz, former teammate Draymond Green left a one-word comment, 'Killa!', which drew hundreds of likes, reflecting fans' excitement.
The relationship confirmation comes days after social media users spotted Thompson in the background of Megan's tropical holiday photos.
By Thursday, TMZ confirmed that Megan and the 35-year-old Dallas Mavericks guard were romantically involved and had recently travelled together following the NBA free agency period.
Megan's dating history has occasionally made headlines. Last summer, she was linked to NBA player Torrey Craig after a TikTok 'Couples Challenge' video surfaced. That short-lived relationship ended by April 2024.
Social media quickly declared Thompson and Megan 'couple of the year,' with fans calling it the crossover they didn't know they needed.

Merlier wins Tour de France stage nine
Tim Merlier won stage nine of the Tour de France at Chateauroux on Sunday after a heroic long-range escape from Mathieu van der Poel was caught in the final kilometre. There was no change atop the overall standings with Tadej Pogacar now holding a 54sec advantage over Remco Evenepoel in second with French starlet Kevin Vauquelin third. This was a second win for Soudal Quick-Step sprinter Merlier who was first across the line on stage three at Dunkirk as he racked up a 12th stage win this year. On a sun drenched slog from the Chinon vineyards, Van der Poel and a teammate broke early and built up a lead of 5min 30sec on the flat roads to Chateauroux. Jonas Rickaert won the combativity award for accompanying Van der Poel to within 10km of the line before slumping over his handlebars. With his gung-ho all-in style Van der Poel grew his Tour de France legend here despite being caught with 700m to go, the plaudits will be both his and Merlier's. As Van der Poel was reeled in, it looked as though Jonathan Milan would win a second consecutive stage but Merlier got ahead with 50m remaining as Milan finished second with Arnaud De Lie completing the podium. Pogacar's Tour de France defence took a hit Sunday as his key teammate Joao Almeida threw in the towel two days after his nasty fall at the Mur de Bretagne, where he fractured a rib. Monday's stage 10 should shake up the race with eight classified climbs in the Massif Central on the July 14 French national holiday. Road signs in honour of British cycling great Mark Cavendish had been placed at entry points to Chateauroux — reading Cavendish City — in homage to the now-retired 40-year-old, after he won three stages there in 2008, 2011 and 2021. "But can't ask him to kill himself for a bike race," Pogacar said. Before the fall Almeida himself was also in contention for a spot on the podium, and would have been of value in the mountainous second half of the Tour. 'Cavendish City' Road signs in honour of British cycling great Mark Cavendish have been placed at entry points to Chateauroux city centre, where stage nine of the Tour de France ends Sunday. Cavendish won three Tour de France stages here, in 2008, 2011 and 2021. "We placed road signs at 17 roundabouts at the entry points of the city as a nod and wink to him," Town Hall communications director Anne-Laure Bodin told AFP. "We put up the signs at the start of July and they'll stay there until the end of the Tour de France," she said, explaining it was to mark the fast-man's legacy and connection with the town. "He was happy by the looks of it because he made an Instagram post of it. It's fun but he deserves it." Cavendish was a specialist on the flat stages and the finish line on Sunday's eighth stage is the same 3km home straight that suited the 'Manx Missile' so well. "Now I'm truly humbled," Cavendish wrote on Instagram. "It's emotional to me as my first ever win. "I hope it's a place as special for whoever wins there this year." The 40-year-old Briton is now retired, and won 35 stages in total at the Tour de France, a record for stage wins he shares with all-time great Eddy Merckx.

Olivia Culpo shares first photos of newborn daughter with Christian McCaffrey
Olivia Culpo and NFL star Christian McCaffrey have officially entered parenthood. On July 13, 2025, the former Miss Universe announced the birth of their first child, a daughter named Colette, through a touching Instagram post. The couple, who tied the knot in Rhode Island in June 2024, shared a black-and-white photo carousel from the hospital, offering fans a first glimpse at their newborn. In one image, baby Colette lay peacefully on a fuzzy blanket, while another showed the new parents holding her in their arms. Culpo wrote on her Instagram Stories, 'Colette is so lucky to have the best daddy in the world. A love like no other,' alongside a picture of McCaffrey cradling their daughter. She also posted a powerful moment from the birth, holding tightly onto McCaffrey's arm and calling it 'the scariest and most rewarding of all experiences.' The road to motherhood wasn't without its challenges. Culpo has openly discussed her fears about fertility due to her endometriosis diagnosis. During a 2022 episode of 'The Culpo Sisters,' she said, 'I feel like I have to have kids ASAP.' In March 2025, she revealed her pregnancy in a maternity shoot, captioned 'next chapter, motherhood.' The couple chose to keep their baby's sex a surprise, though Culpo hinted at having 'a strong intuition' it was a boy. Colette is the latest addition to the Culpo family, where Olivia has long embraced her role as an aunt to her siblings' children. Now, she and McCaffrey embark on a new chapter—one filled with diapers, milestones, and unconditional love.

Yasir Hussain calls out 'elitist' Karachi restaurant
Actor and director Yasir Hussain has raised his voice against discriminatory treatment reported at some of Karachi's upscale clubs and restaurants, where patrons wearing traditional attire are allegedly being denied service. In an Instagram Story posted on Friday, Hussain responded to reports that a man was turned away from a restaurant in Karachi for wearing shalwar kameez, the national dress of Pakistan. "There is increasing disrespect towards shalwar kameez. This drama has started in many clubs and fine-dining restaurants," he wrote, labelling them as "Wannabe Angrez." Actor Mishi Khan also publicly criticised the same establishment. In a video posted on her Instagram, she said, "I am shocked. Can you believe they called our national dress cheap? We're running on foreign funding, paying double the debt, we lack jobs and resources, and just look at their attitude! As if they're from Switzerland!" The outrage is justified, as she questions what exactly these people deem as appropriate dress: "What are we supposed to wear now? Should we wear bikinis or hot pants just to be allowed in? I will definitely find out which restaurant this is, and I will reveal its name to you." This controversy involved a man reportedly identified as Advocate Abdul Latif, who alleged that he was turned away and that the staff told him, "We don't serve pendus," using a derogatory term for rural or unfashionable people. Latif said that after facing humiliation, he sent a legal notice to the restaurant, but the administration has yet to respond. He has now approached the Consumer Court, seeking action against the restaurant. The shalwar kameez is Pakistan's national dress and a cultural symbol. Yet, private venues enforcing Western dress codes have sparked debate over class-based discrimination and cultural erasure. Hussain pointedly remarked that venue owners have adopted an attitude towards traditional dress similar to their attitude towards Urdu. The matter has drawn public backlash. Social media users have demanded identification and a boycott of the restaurant. One user wrote, "Truly boycott such restaurants — they will remember their place. Speak to them in their own language, and they will stay within their limits." Another user echoed, "Agreed. We should take a stand on this!"
