All About Megan Thee Stallion’s Boyfriend, Klay Thompson

Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson essentially announced they were dating this week, both sharing discreet yet obvious snaps of one another on Instagram. First, the rapper posted some bathing suit shots by a luxurious pool with a mystery man lounging in the back.

Fans of the NBA star guessed it was him instantly, setting off a flurry of rumors about the pair’s relationship status. She also captioned the carousel with two emojis: a palm tree and an airplane, indicating a trip, which is not usually first date stuff.

Then on Saturday, July 12, Thompson posted a carousel of moments in his recent life that appeared to include Megan and a trip to the Bahamas. In one shot, he is kissing a woman with her back turned to us, in another he is holding a woman’s manicured hand. The manicure matches the same color and shape she was wearing poolside.

So who is Klay Thompson? Here’s everything to know about the Dallas Mavericks star and his relationship with the Grammy-winner so far.

Sports fans might laugh at the question, because Thompson is a four-time NBA champion who is very well-known for his incredibly athleticism.

Thompson was born in Los Angeles to parents Julie and Mychal Thompson, both successful athletes as well. His mother was a volleyball player and his dad was the the first overall pick of the 1978 NBA draft, per The Columbian. The family moved to Oregon when Thompson was only two, before heading back to California for his high school career. He was invested in basketball early and went on to play at Washington State University for college. He was selected 11th overall by the Golden State Warriors in 2011, the team where he won four NBA championships.

Thompson traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2024. He is also a member of the United States national team, and won a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics.

It’s not clear when the couple linked up. The musical artist was last romantically involved with NBA forward Torrey Craig, reportedly splitting with him in April 2025.

The basketball star dated actress Laura Herrier from 2018 to 2020.
