Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson just confirmed what fans have been speculating for weeks. The rapper and NBA star made their relationship red carpet official at the inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City on July 16. Hand-in-hand and smiling for cameras, the couple shared a kiss before heading into the event, which was held at Gotham Hall.

Megan stunned in a halter-neck black gown with a jeweled silver belt, while Thompson kept it classic in a black tux. The event, which honors Megan’s late parents Joseph Pete III and Holly Thomas, marked the pair’s first official public appearance together. Speaking to Page Six on the carpet, Megan opened up about her relationship, calling Thompson “the nicest person” she’s ever dated.

“I have never dated somebody so kind,” she said. “This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.” She added, “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.”

Megan Says Their First Meeting Felt Like a Movie

Ahead of the gala, Megan had already hinted at the romance, telling People their first meeting felt straight out of a rom-com. “Oh, we met and it was such a meet cute. It was like a f—— movie,” she said. “I won’t tell you how and I won’t tell you when, but it was a movie. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.”

The rapper also reflected on her family’s legacy during the event, saying she felt her parents were watching proudly. “I feel like they can see what I’m doing right now. I feel like they’re looking down on me from heaven,” she told People. “I feel like my momma’s so happy. I feel like she is clapping. I feel like my great-grandma is so happy. I feel like my daddy is like, ‘This is exactly what I knew my child was gonna do.’”

From Social Media Clues to Red Carpet Confirmations

The couple’s red carpet debut came just a week after fans began noticing clues online. On July 9, Megan posted a bikini photo on Instagram with Thompson subtly visible in the background. She didn’t tag or mention him, but followers were quick to catch on. “Do we not realize Klay Thompson in the back,” one fan wrote in the comments.

A few days later, Thompson confirmed the romance on his own page, sharing a photo of the two appearing affectionate on vacation and sharing a kiss, with the caption “Sweet Bells son 🌴 🥥”. Megan also reportedly posted a now-deleted TikTok video showing off Labubu collectibles that she said her “man” gifted her, while seated on his lap.

Their recent red carpet appearance and coordinated social media posts officially confirm their relationship, following weeks of speculation. Megan told Page Six, “This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.”
