Move aside Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, a new celebrity power couple has officially been confirmed.

Dallas Mavericks guard and likely future Basketball Hall of Famer Klay Thompson confirmed his relationship with Grammy Award winning rap superstar Megan Thee Stallion on Saturday.

The couple’s relationship had been rumored for the past week after Thompson appeared in the background of one of Megan’s Instagram posts. The post garnered more than 100,000 likes in less than 40 minutes. Thompson’s former teammate Draymond Green also commented “Killa!” on the post.

Over the span of Klay’s 12 NBA seasons, the Washington State alum boasts four NBA Championships, five NBA All-Star appearances and two All-NBA selections with the Golden State Warriors. He spent the 2024-25 season with the Dallas Mavericks, marking the first in his career without Stephen Curry by his side.

“Honestly, it’s rejuvenated me and done something I needed bad just for my mental and my career,” Thompson told ESPN about his move to Dallas. “So, I really feel the love here, and I feel highly valued that I can do great things.”

Thompson becomes latest NBA player to date music superstar

His new girlfriend Megan is an extremely accomplished rapper/pop superstar as well. In her young career, she boasts eight BET Hip Hop Awards, seven BET Awards, five American Music Awards and three Grammy Awards.

Klay becomes the latest NBA star to date a music superstar, joining the likes of Nick Young (Iggy Azalea), J.R. Smith (Rhianna), Dennis Rodman (Madonna) and Amar’e Stoudamire (Ciara). He joins a list of high profile rappers/sports figures that have dated Megan, including rappers Tory Lanez and Moneybagg Yo and fellow NBA player Torrey Craig.

“I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing,” Megan told Billboard this year. “If people feel like I’m somebody to aim at, then I must be pretty high up if you’re reaching up at me. I must be some kind of competition. That makes me feel good. That makes me feel like I could rap because if I wasn’t the s–t, y’all wouldn’t be worried about me.”

Prior to going official with Megan, Thompson had dated celebrities Hannah Stocking, Carleen Henry and Laura Harrier in the past. Along with his new relationship, he’ll set focus on what will be a highly anticipated 2025-26 season for the Dallas Mavericks.

With a healthy Anthony Davis and 2025 No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg joining the frey (with Kyrie Irving coming back midseason), the Mavs are looked at as title contenders.
