NBA player Klay Thompson recently shared photos from his Bahamas vacation, following the common trend of athletes posting offseason social media updates. However, unlike typical vacation collages, Thompson`s post seemed to subtly reveal his relationship with rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
Speculation about a romance between the Dallas Mavericks guard and the Grammy-winning artist, Megan Pete, began circulating after she posted an Instagram photo on Thursday. In the picture, where Pete was by a pool, eagle-eyed fans noticed someone resembling Thompson in the background.
Thompson himself seemed to address the rumors with an Instagram post on Saturday. One image in his post showed the four-time NBA champion standing next to a person, widely assumed to be Pete, who was facing away. Another picture captured him holding hands with someone, also thought to be Pete.
Thompson`s post quickly gained traction, with numerous comments flooding in. Among the reactions, Dwight Howard used three fire emojis, his former Golden State Warriors teammate Quinn Cook commented, “There he gooooooo,” and Kevin Durant simply remarked, “THAT BOY.”
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome commented, “Woah hard launch.” Thompson`s reply, “I`m all gas no brakes Jerome,” further fueled speculation, suggesting that what might be one of the summer`s most unexpected relationships was indeed happening.
Previously, Pete was reportedly in a relationship with Boston Celtics forward Torrey Craig last year.
Thompson recently completed his first season playing for the Dallas Mavericks, where he averaged 14 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2 assists per game.
