Rumors of a romance between Megan Thee Stallion and NBA star Klay Thompson are circulating. This comes after fans spotted a familiar-looking figure in the background of the rapper’s latest Instagram post. The man, seen reclining by the pool in one of her photos, sparked instant speculation online, with many convinced it was the Dallas Mavericks star.
Here are more details about the rumored romance between the rapper and the NBA star.
Are Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson dating?
Speculation surrounding Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson started this week after the rapper posted a series of bikini photos to Instagram on Wednesday.
While the images initially showed Stallion enjoying a sunny poolside moment, fans quickly turned their attention to the background. One photo appeared to show a man reclining in the distance and many were convinced that the figure looked strikingly similar to Dallas Mavericks star Thompson.
The post quickly caught the attention of fans and media alike, with many pointing out the possible connection. However, the man’s face is unclear, leaving plenty of room for doubt. One user wrote in the comment section, “Is that Klay Thompson in the back?” Meanwhile, another commented, “Klay just minding his own business.”
At present, there’s no confirmation that the person in the background is Thompson. There is also no public statement from either party about a relationship. As of now, the rumors remain speculative.
This isn’t the first time Stallion has been romantically tied to an NBA player. In 2024, she was reportedly in a relationship with Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig. The romance became public through a TikTok video (now deleted) that confirmed the two were dating. That relationship ended earlier in 2025.
Meanwhile, Thompson has also been linked to celebrities in the past. From 2021 to 2023, he was reportedly dating singer and actress Coco Jones. Before that, he was associated with actresses Laura Harrier and Eiza González.
