A Timeline of Megan Thee Stallion & Klay Thompson’s Relationship

This coupling adds to the growing list of WAGs (wives and girlfriends) who capture the public’s imagination, combining the allure of celebrity culture with the thrill of professional sports. Megan, known for her chart-topping hits and three Grammy Awards, and Klay, a four-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors, attract significant media attention, akin to the fascination surrounding other celebrity athlete pairings, such as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Their relationship is not without its critics, particularly from basketball fans who often scrutinize the personal lives of athletes.
Despite the scrutiny, Megan and Klay appear unfazed, openly sharing their affection and experiences with fans. In a candid interview with People, Megan described their first meeting as a “meet cute,” reminiscent of a romantic movie, and praised Klay as “the nicest person I’ve ever met.” Their social media is filled with playful interactions and affectionate moments, showcasing a relationship that balances their demanding careers. Megan recently released her new single “Lover Girl,” featuring lyrics that reflect her feelings for Klay, while he prepared to kick off his 13th season in the NBA. Their ability to support each other’s professional endeavors while enjoying their personal lives is a testament to their strong bond.
As their romance unfolds, fans are eager to follow their journey, and the media is keen to document every moment. The couple’s timeline of blossoming love is a captivating narrative that not only highlights their individual successes but also the joy they find in each other’s company. Whether it’s through shared outings, social media posts, or their respective careers, Megan and Klay are proving that love can thrive amidst the pressures of fame and sports, making them one of the most talked-about couples of the moment.
The sports world has another high-profile WAG – that stands for wives and girlfriends if you don’t already know – in
Megan Thee Stallion
, who started dating Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Klay Thompson in the summer of 2025.
And just like another pairing between an A-List musician (Meg boasts three no. 1 hits on the
Hot 100
as well as three Grammys) and an athletic legend (Thompson earned four championship rings as a key part of the Golden State Warriors), the duo receives a lot of attention for their coupling. (And also similar to
Taylor Swift
and
Travis Kelce
, there are plenty of criticism from basketball fans – and commentators – too.)
But nothing phases the lovers. “We met and it was such a meet cute,” Megan told
People
in July. “I won’t tell you how and I won’t tell you when, but it was a movie,” adding that “he’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.”
Between golfing outings, games, and plenty of PDA-packed posts on their social media accounts, Megan and Klay seem more than comfortable sharing their journey with everyone, while still having time for their own careers. (Her latest single “Lover Girl” – with the appropriately sexy and loved-up lyrics “My man, my man, my man, my baby, my baby/ Dickin’ me down, spoilin’ me, drivin’ me crazy” – dropped at the end of October, and he returned to the court for his 13th season in the NBA the same month.)
