Megan Thee Stallion Addressed Klay Thompson Relationship
Megan Thee Stallion has a new man in her life, and she sounds like a happy, happy girl. In case you missed it, the rap and sports fandoms were united last week when Meg debuted her relationship with NBA star Klay Thompson. In a sneaky move, she soft-launched the romance on July 9 by posting a cute bikini photo on Instagram, where the Dallas Mavericks' star could be seen relaxing on a sun lounger in the background. It didn't take long for eagle-eyed fans to notice him, and a few days later, Klay confirmed the relationship by including a couple of sweet pics of Meg in his vacation Instagram dump. And now, less than a week after Meg first teased the romance, the pair have taken their relationship to the next level with their official red carpet debut at the rapper's Inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala, which took place in NYC last night. Meg stunned on the red carpet in a sleek black gown, and Klay matched her vibe in a black tux. The couple posed for tons of pictures together, and online, fans can't help but observe how smitten they appear — and how good they look together, obvs. We don't actually know how long these two have been dating away from the public eye. However, while discussing the relationship for the very first time at the Gala, Meg teased their 'meet cute' during an interview with People, saying that their first meeting 'was like a fucking movie.' 'I won't tell you how and I won't tell you when,' she said, somewhat cryptically, 'but it was a the nicest person I've ever met in my life.' Adorably, in another red carpet interview with Page Six, Megan said she's never dated anybody as 'kind' as Klay, saying: 'This is my first relationship where I've ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.' From 2020 to 2023, Meg was dating fellow rapper Pardison 'Pardi' Fontaine. Since their split, she's been linked with soccer player Romelu Lukaku and Chicago Bulls player Torrey Craig, the latter of whom was accused of cheating on her. '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 said of Klay. If you follow Meg, you'll know that she's definitely not had it easy over the past few years, so it's amazing to see her this happy! It's officially a Hot Girlfriend Summer.
