Megan Thee Stallion and NBA star Klay Thompson make red carpet debut
Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson have made their red carpet debut.
Days after a source confirmed to "Good Morning America" that the Grammy-winning rapper and the Dallas Mavericks Guard were officially an item, the duo stepped out Wednesday night for a glamorous evening in New York City.
Megan and Thompson hit the carpet for the inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala, which was launched by Megan in 2022 in honor of her late parents. The foundation aims to support women, children, senior citizens and underserved communities focusing on education, housing, health and wellness and more.
The duo were photographed holding hands as they walked into the event and posed for a few snapshots together.
In an interview with Page Six on the carpet, Megan gushed over Thompson, saying, "I never dated somebody so kind."
"This is my first relationship where I've 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 they're here by my side and he feels the same way about me."
Confirmation of their relationship status comes after Thompson shared several photos of the two on Instagram on Saturday, including one of the pair kissing and another of them holding hands.
"Sweet Bells son 🌴 🥥," he captioned the post.
Fans first noticed Thompson in the background of a photo Megan posted to Instagram on July 9, sparking speculation about the pair's relationship.
Megan was last publicly linked to Chicago Bulls player Torrey Craig after she accidentally posted -- then deleted -- a TikTok of the two doing a couple's challenge in August 2023, according to People.
Prior to that, she dated rapper Pardison "Pardi" Fontaine, a relationship she confirmed during an Instagram Live in February 2021, People reported.
Thompson, who spent 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, signed a three-year, $50 million contract with the Mavericks in July 2024 as part of the NBA's first-ever six-team trade.
Meanwhile, Megan wrapped her first headlining concert tour last year, the Hot Girl Summer Tour, which spanned 36 shows across North America and Europe and concluded in September 2024.
When announcing the tour on "GMA" earlier that year, Megan opened up about overcoming a difficult period in her life, saying, "Music just seemed so negative… I just wasn't in a good space mentally … and it just all felt like, 'I'm tired of this, tired of fighting. But I had to tell myself I don't want to give up."
She also added at the time that writing and performing helped her heal, calling the creative process "like therapy" and "a real diary entry."
ABC News has reached out to representatives of Megan and Thompson for comment.
