It’s official—Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion are dating, and the internet can’t stop talking about it.
After days of speculation, the 35-year-old NBA star confirmed his romance with the 30-year-old rapper in the most modern way possible: an Instagram photo dump.
On Saturday (July 12), Klay shared a sun-soaked collection of snaps from a tropical getaway, including two standout photos that had fans doing double takes. “Sweet Bells son 🌴 🥥” he captioned the post, which featured scenic shots from the Bahamas.
But it was the photos with Megan that really stole the spotlight.
In one picture, the couple appears to be sharing a kiss—although it’s slightly silhouetted, fans quickly pointed out the unmistakable chemistry. Another photo, captured from Megan’s point of view, shows the pair walking hand-in-hand onto the beach.
Romance rumors had already been swirling earlier in the week after Megan posted her own batch of vacation pics. Eagle-eyed fans noticed Klay in the background of one of her shots, sparking buzz across social media. Now, Klay’s Instagram post confirms what everyone suspected: they’re officially an item.
Fans of both stars quickly flooded the comments with excitement, with many praising the unexpected (but very hot) pairing. One user wrote, “Power couple vibes!” while another added, “This is the collab I didn’t know I needed.”
This marks Megan’s first public relationship since her reported split from rapper Pardison Fontaine. As for Klay, he tends to keep his private life low-key, though he’s previously been linked to actress Laura Harrier.
If you’re catching up on the basketball side of things, Klay is currently playing for the Dallas Mavericks, after a 13-year run with the Golden State Warriors that earned him four NBA championship rings. Megan, on the other hand, is continuing her unstoppable run as one of music’s most magnetic performers. After her latest releases and festival appearances, she’s clearly in her “Hot Girl Summer” era—and now she’s got a new flame to match.
Neither Klay nor Megan has commented beyond the Instagram post, but for now, the photos speak louder than words.
Let the courtside date nights and red carpet slays begin.
