Klay Thompson turned plenty of heads this week after recent social media posts showed that he named his personal boat in tribute to his girlfriend, Megan Thee Stallion. Thompson reportedly changed the vessel’s name to “SS Stallion,” a decision that spread quickly once fans started sharing screenshots and reposts from his Instagram, per Tribune. The move added another layer to one of the most visible relationships in sports and entertainment right now.
Interest in Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion surged after they confirmed their relationship in mid 2025. Their outings, including several boating trips, created steady buzz across sports and music media. Coverage from Sports Illustrated noted Thompson’s long-running passion for open water trips and highlighted how often he documents life on his boat. The latest update fit right into that pattern, while also signaling how seriously the couple continues to take their relationship.
Fans also pointed to the timing. The boat reveal came shortly after Megan spent Thanksgiving with the Thompson family and prepared the holiday meal. That moment went viral and sparked even more conversation about how quickly the pair has built a strong bond.
Thanksgiving Cemented the Relationship
Before the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Dallas Mavericks, ESPN Los Angeles reported that Megan cooked the full Thanksgiving spread for Thompson’s family, per Basketball Network. Mychal Thompson and Julie Thompson loved the meal and spoke openly about it during the broadcast. The gesture created national headlines and painted a clearer picture of how close the couple has become.
“Thanksgiving dinner was the best Thanksgiving food I have ever eaten. Megan Thee Stallion should be Megan Thee Chef,” Mychal said during the interview. “That is how good the food was. It was unbelievable. It was one of the best Thanksgivings we have ever had, thanks to Megan.”
Megan documented the preparation on Instagram, showing fans the menu she put together for the holiday. She explained that she handled the turkey, barbecue baked beans, mac and cheese, several sides, and more. She also shared her nerves about cooking for Thompson’s family, telling followers that she wanted the meal to show how much she cared about Klay.
Meg Had to Show Up
“I was really nervous because I thought, dang, I am really cooking for my man and his whole family,” she said. “I hope they love this because I want to show them that I really love their son.”
Mychal said the dinner created an unforgettable night for their guests and noted how many leftovers everyone carried home. He also praised Megan for making sure every person felt welcome. Megan said the family embraced her from the moment she arrived and added that Julie Thompson’s approval meant the most.
“Ms. Julie was the star of the show. Ms. Julie was the hostess with the mostest,” Megan told ESPN LA. “Mr. Thompson said I could own my own restaurant. I am glad that I got the stamp of approval from the father. But Ms. Julie was my number one stamp of approval.”
Thompson finished with 10 points in the Mavericks’ 129 to 119 loss to the Lakers. While the on court results did not go his way that night, the off court moments showed how strongly his relationship with Megan continues to grow.
