In a stunning revelation, Megan Thee Stallion and NBA star Klay Thompson made a sensational red carpet debut at the first-ever Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City on Wednesday night.
The superstar duo, long the subject of dating whispers, walked together hand-in-hand, posed for photos, and even shared a kiss before the event officially started marking a major moment in celebrity relationship news.
Speaking with Page Six on the red carpet, Megan offered insight into the rumored relationship, describing Thompson as a kind soul.
“I have never dated somebody so kind,” she said.
Moreover, she emphasized the change she’s experienced with him: “This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.”
In addition, she added, “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,” commenting on the mutual affection growing between them.
The chemistry was caught not just in words, but on camera offering fans a rare, intimate glimpse into their budding romance.
Their rumored romance dates back to earlier this month, when Thompson was seen in the background of one of Megan’s Instagram posts.
The relationship then went public when he shared photos of the two of them on vacation together.
This week’s gala appearance confirmed what fans have been speculating.
At the glamorous event, Megan looked radiant in a black halter gown accented with a jeweled belt, while Thompson supported her in a sharp tuxedo.
The gala, which supports education, housing, health, and wellness in honor of Megan’s late parents, was her first time hosting such a large-scale charity event.
She spoke emotionally about carrying on her family’s legacy at the gala.
“I feel like I’m carrying on a good legacy of my family name. I know [my parents are] looking down on me super proud,” she said, giving a heartfelt nod to her late mother, Holly Thomas, and father, Joseph Pete III.
In addition, Megan and Thompson shared a fun insight into their private time together.
She revealed that they enjoy cozy nights watching Love Island USA, adding that Thompson is “the real ‘Love Island’ fan.”
This behind-the-scenes detail shows a side of their relationship marked by simplicity and shared moments.
Meanwhile, celebrities including Fat Joe, Muni Long, and Taraji P. Henson—who served as host were spotted at the star-studded event.
Their presence added glamour, yet the attention remained firmly on Megan and Thompson’s surprising appearance together.
Prior to this pairing, Megan was in a two-year relationship with rapper Pardison “Pardi” Fontaine from 2021 to 2023.
However, her emerging relationship with Thompson reflects a fresh chapter grounded in kindness and connection.
