Megan Thee Stallion just went public about her new relationship—and it turns out, love looks good on her.
On Wednesday night (July 16), the 30-year-old rapper made her red carpet debut with NBA star Klay Thompson at her inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala at Gotham Hall in New York City. It wasn’t just a glam night for a good cause—it was also the first time Megan opened up about her budding romance with the 35-year-old Golden State Warriors player.
“I have never dated somebody so kind,” she told Page Six about her relationship with Klay. “This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.”
Megan didn’t hold back, adding, “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.”
The couple first sparked dating rumors earlier this month when Klay appeared in one of Megan’s social media posts, looking very much part of her inner circle. But now, it’s more than Instagram-official—Klay posted photos of them kissing and holding hands while on vacation just last weekend.
While the romance buzzed, Megan also had something even bigger on her mind—her foundation’s first-ever gala. The event, created in honor of her late parents, Holly Thomas and Joseph Pete III, is aimed at funding education, housing, and health initiatives.
“I feel like I’m carrying on a good legacy of my family name. I know [my parents are] looking down on me super proud,” she said, visibly emotional and proud of what the night stood for.
The Pete & Thomas Foundation has become a central passion for Megan, who’s made it her mission to empower underserved communities. From providing scholarships to supporting mental health programs, the gala marked an important milestone for both her philanthropic work and her personal growth.
Meanwhile, fans are loving this new chapter of “Hot Girl Meg.” Known for her fierce independence and chart-topping hits, Megan’s softer, romantic side is now shining through—and it’s clear Klay has something to do with that.
The night wasn’t just about the cause or the couple—it was a celebration of everything Megan has built and everything she’s becoming. And judging by the way she looked at Klay on the carpet, she’s not just building an empire—she’s building a life filled with love, legacy, and genuine happiness.
