It seems Megan Thee Stallion is truly living up to her "hot girl summer" motto this year. The buzz is all about a possible new romance, and it looks like a four-time NBA champion might be her new main squeeze.
Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson recently shared some revealing photos on his Instagram. On Saturday, July 12, Thompson, who is 35, posted a series of pictures featuring a woman who looked strikingly like the "Savage" rapper. She was only seen from behind in the images. But her hairstyle matched Megan’s current look exactly.
Thompson also shared a photo holding hands with his mystery partner. Her nails and jewelry were spot on with what Megan, 30, showed off just last week. This wasn’t the first hint either. Rumors about Thompson and Megan first began after Megan posted on Instagram herself on Thursday, July 10. In one of her photos, Thompson appeared to be in the background.
A prominent entertainment news outlet reached out to Thompson for comment, but neither he nor Megan has confirmed their relationship officially. Still, that didn’t stop fans. The comments sections on both their social media accounts quickly filled up with reactions to the suspected new couple.
Thompson’s former Golden State Warriors teammate, Ty Jerome, commented, "Wow, what a scoop!" Thompson shot back, "I’m going full speed, no brakes, Jerome." Another former Warrior, David West, chimed in with a classic basketball line, "Shooters shoot!" One excited fan summed it up simply: "I went to Texas and found a Texan 😂😭🔥."
It’s a fitting match, perhaps. Thompson signed a three-year, $50 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks in July 2024. He spent the first 13 seasons of his career with the Warriors. Megan, for her part, hails from Houston, Texas.
Both stars have had their share of relationships in the public eye. Megan was linked to NBA player Torrey Craig, with whom she was seen during New York Fashion Week in September 2024. Before that, she dated rapper Pardison Fontaine from 2021 to 2023.
Megan also had a brief casual relationship with rapper Tory Lanez. He allegedly shot her in the foot during an argument in July 2020. Lanez, 32, was formally charged in October 2020, and a restraining order was granted to Megan. In August 2023, Lanez was found guilty of three charges: assault with a semi-automatic firearm, illegal possession of a firearm, and negligent discharge of a firearm for shooting Megan. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. As for Thompson, he previously dated actress Laura Harrier from 2018 to early 2020.
Despite the relationship chatter, Megan is clearly balancing work and play this summer. On Friday, July 11, she celebrated her 2024 album, Megan, reaching over a billion streams on Spotify. She also hinted that new music is coming soon, telling fans on X: "Thanks to the real hotties. I’m cooking right now, see y’all later ✌🏾." It looks like this hot girl summer is just getting started for her.
