Megan Thee Stallion and Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson were together for nearly a year before she accused him of cheating. Although Thompson has not responded to the allegations, Megan has been vocal about her love for him.
How Megan Thee Stallion Fell in Love with Klay Thompson
In February 2026, the 'Cobra' artist spoke to PEOPLE about falling in love with the four-time NBA champion after a challenging period in her life. Reflecting on her depression and mental health issues, she said, 'I think that because finally I started being in a better mind space about myself and my life, and I had already been doing a lot of work to heal me...'
The three-time Grammy winner added, 'I had been going to therapy, I had a bunch of activities that I started doing for myself; maybe God just opened up that space for me to have somebody that loved me right.'
While Thompson was private about his feelings, Megan openly showcased her affection. In another interview with PEOPLE last year, she described him as the 'kindest' man she had ever met.
Extravagant Gifts Before the Breakup
Though Thompson was not publicly expressive, he gifted her a Bentley for her birthday and bought a luxurious yacht in her name. Megan often posted about meeting his family and cooking for him. These gestures led many to believe the couple might marry soon.
However, things soured when Megan accused Thompson of cheating and failing to commit. Since then, Thompson has remained distant while Megan focuses on her career.
