But, on April 25, Meg dropped a bombshell allegation that the NBA player had cheated on her. These two went from rumored to red carpet official within the span of days, and if you’re wondering how they started, the journey is a wild ride. Scroll through Meg and Klay’s relationship timeline, right here.

As one person put it, “Wait, is that Klay just casually chilling?😂😂.” And as another added, “My guy Klay Thompson still shooting and not missing.”
A few days later, Klay hits Instagram with a photo of himself kissing someone who looks a lot like Megan:

And then there's this cute hand-holding pic:

Obviously, everyone runs to Megan’s account and notices that her manicure matches from beach pics she posted the same day.

On July 16, the couple makes their official debut at Megan’s Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala (which honors her parents) at Gotham Hall in NYC!
Megan absolutely gushes about Klay on the carpet, saying “Oh, we met and it was such a meet cute it was like a fucking movie. I won’t tell you how and I won’t tell you when, but it was a movie.”

She adds that her favorite thing about Klay is “That he's the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.”
Megan also tells Page Six, “I have never dated somebody so kind. This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy. 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.”
Meanwhile, Klay chats to Us Weekly and says, “Well, 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 foundation, and raise a ton of money for those in need. And I’m honored to be here by her side.”
At this point, the couple is so in love, they’re all over their social feeds. The videos have been deleted since their split, but according to Billboard, they posted their workout routine and even went golfing together.
October 2025Meg drops a track called “LOVER GIRL” inspired by her whirlwind romance with Klay.
“This shit be easy when you find somebody on your level,” she muses on the track, where she also raps, “My man, my man, my man, my baby, my baby (whoa) / Dickin’ me down, spoilin’ me, drivin’ me crazy.”
According to TMZ, Meg posted a photo dump featuring a pic of her and Klay holding keys to a new home…could they have moved in together?

November 2025When Klay lost his starting spot on the Dallas Mavericks, Hoopin’ N Hollerin’ podcast co-host and former NBA player Jason Williams blamed Klay’s gameplay on his relationship with Meg. “It only takes one pussy to drag a battleship across a desert. That’s how powerful it is,” he said. “I ain’t saying that’s what it is, but that might be what it is.”
“Referring to my GF as a ‘pussy’ is so disgusting and disturbing. Especially from someone who played in the NBA,” Klay wrote, defending Meg. “How would yall feel if I referred to your wives in such a way? Do better fellas. Very disappointing.”
Megan Thee Stallion should also be considered Megan Thee Top Chef, because she casually whipped up Thanksgiving dinner for Klay and his family. Go off, Meg!
Klay’s dad, Mychal Thompson, even went on to praise her skills in the kitchen.
“The Thanksgiving dinner was the best Thanksgiving food I’ve ever eaten. Megan Thee Stallion should be Megan Thee Chef," Mychal told ESPN LA, per Hollywood Unlocked. "That’s how good the food was. It was unbelievable. She went out of her way to make sure everybody was well-fed. We had to take tons of bags home. There were so many leftovers. So, our guests had to take home. And it was one of the best Thanksgivings we ever had, thanks to Megan.”
Meg would continue to cook for Klay and his family throughout their relationship and post it on social media.
Meg pulled out all the stops for Klay’s 36th birthday on February 7, as she got his favorite group, Bone Thugs N Harmony, to perform at his party.
Oh, and just in time for Valentine’s Day and Meg’s birthday, Klay gifts her a powder-blue Bentley (!!!). Per People, she posts several shots of it in a since-deleted Instagram post, including a sweet clip of Klay planting a kiss on her cheek. According to Meg’s carousel, they rang in her 31st birthday with a tropical beach getaway, as she captioned the post, “Aw man I was not ready for this birthday trip to be over 🥹. A time was definitely had🏝️🍹🥳 THANK YOU BABY⚓️.”

April 2026On April 25, Megan hops on her Instagram Stories alleging that Klay had cheated on her.
“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house…got ‘cold feet,’” she wrote, in part.
She continued, “Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’????”

“Bitch I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall,” she concluded her message.
The following day, she got emotional during her performance in Broadway’s Moulin Rouge!, and fans are convinced it had, in part, to do with her reported split from Klay.
“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” Megan said in a statement to E! NewsApril 25. “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward.”
“I’m taking this time to prioritize myself, and move ahead with peace and clarity,” she added. Klay has yet to respond to the allegations.
