Shooters shoot! Klay Thompson seemingly confirms Megan Thee Stallion dating rumors
Forget soft launch summer.
Klay Thompson is ditching subtlety and letting followers know the rumors are true – he and Megan Thee Stallion are dating.
The longtime NBA star took to Instagram over the weekend, posting a carousel of photos July 13 featuring a shot of him and the Houston rapper in an intimate embrace. Later in the slideshow, another shot shows just their hands clasped together, beachside, Thomspon's blue and gold Rolex paired with Megan's baby pink acrylics and abalone shell jewelry.
Paste BN has reached out to reps for Megan and Thompson for comment.
The post is captioned simply "Sweet Bells son 🌴 🥥," the emojis no doubt a nod to the Bahamas, where the two appeared to be vacationing. Thompson's father, Mychal Thompson, a former NBA player, is Bahamian.
While Megan's face doesn't appear in any of the photos, her unmistakable figure (hottie bootcamp tap in) and voluminous curls left little room for dispute. In a separate post days earlier, Megan spawned rumors of the romance by posting a bikini pic with a man in the background, whom fans speculated was Thompson.
The pairing, certainly not the first crossover between a music star and NBA royalty, feels apt for Thompson's recent geographic shift. After over a decade with the Golden State Warriors, the 35-year-old shooting guard was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2024.
Megan, a powerhouse in the rap genre, is a Texas native, born in San Antonio and raised in Houston. Her music notches into Dirty South traditions, her lyrics often referring to Houston, and her style steeped heavily in rodeo glam.
Now a pair, Thompson and Megan may just be the Longhorn State's biggest power couple yet.
