Just days after Megan Thee Stallion posted a set of poolside photos on Instagram, including one where Klay Thompson made an appearance, the Dallas Mavericks guard fired back with a clever post of his own. He shared images from a vacation in the Bahamas, subtly revealing the presence of a woman. One photo in particular caught fans’ attention: a close-up of two hands, with nails that perfectly matched the bright pink manicure Megan wore in her earlier pictures. With that, Thompson intentionally fueled rumors about a possible relationship and playfully teased the Grammy-winning artist.
Thompson didn’t directly confirm the romance, but the suggestive post left little room for doubt. The clues, especially the matching nails, sent social media into a frenzy. Fans quickly pieced the puzzle together, pointing out how Megan and Klay seemed to be hinting at something more than friendship.
While Megan currently finds herself in the spotlight with Thompson, the New York Post previously linked her to Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig during the summer of 2024. She even participated in a viral TikTok couples challenge with Craig, though she deleted the video shortly after posting it.
As for Klay, he has a history of high-profile relationships as well. He once dated actress Laura Harrier, known for her roles in film and television. On the professional front, Thompson recently transitioned from the Golden State Warriors to the Dallas Mavericks, after spending 13 seasons in the Bay Area. In his first year with Dallas, he averaged 14 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, contributing veteran experience to the roster.
Facing the media: Thompson handles an uncomfortable question
During an interview in April, a reporter asked whether Thompson would still have signed with the Mavericks knowing what he knows now. The question caught him off guard.
“You can’t do that to me… That’s kind of a ridiculous question,” he said. “I don’t have a time machine, and I don’t believe in looking back. Without my full journey, I wouldn’t be the player I am today—or have survived those two brutal injuries.”
