Klay Thompson, the NBA champion, has officially confirmed his romance with rapper Megan Thee Stallion, expressing his admiration for her at the recent Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City. The event, held on July 16, 2025, honored Megan’s late parents, Joseph Pete III and Holly Thomas, and celebrated her philanthropic efforts through the nonprofit she founded in 2022, aimed at supporting women, children, seniors, and underserved communities.
Thompson, 35, shared his thoughts on attending the gala with Megan, stating, “It feels incredible because Megan is such a special person and she inspires so many around the world. I’ve seen it firsthand. This is just another incredible feat of hers to be able to give back, create a foundation, and raise a ton of money for those in need. And I’m honored to be here by her side.”
The four-time NBA champion reflected on how proud Megan’s parents would be of her accomplishments. “I would have loved to meet Holly and Joe. I know both of them would be so proud of their only daughter because of what she’s been able to accomplish and what she’s going to continue to do. She has never been put in a box and continues to inspire so many people around the world,” he said.
Megan echoed Thompson’s sentiments, revealing that she believes her parents would approve of their relationship. “I feel like my mom would’ve been like, ‘Wow, you finally picked a nice man!’” she shared. “We kissed a lot of frogs, but now we got a real prince! I feel like they would be very proud. My dad would be very happy.”
The couple’s relationship rumors began to circulate earlier in July when Megan posted a photo on social media that featured Thompson in the background. Subsequently, Thompson shared a series of Instagram photos that included a glimpse of Megan, further fueling speculation about their romance.
