The Mavericks are riding high with Cooper Flagg’s game in the Summer League. But, there’s another story that might take the eyes off of the promising rookie. The Miami sunlit backdrop has sparked romance rumors after NBA star Klay Thompson appeared in thebackground of a poolside Instagram carousel posted by Megan Thee Stallion, prompting immediate cheers from fans.
TMZ reports that Thompson then “soft-launched” the duo’s romance with his own striking Instagram dump, showing him kissing a mystery woman whose nails and surroundings match Megan’s post. Then a hand-holding photo made it clear they’re together.

From matching beach settings to synchronized nail art, the visual hints have been unmistakable. Megan’s post featured palm trees and poolside glam, with Thompson lounging subtly in the background. Klay’s follow-up included a photo of his hand wrapped around hers, a lead manicure identical to Megan’s, clear proof to social media sleuths. This coordinated posting has transformed their relationship from low-key “soft-launch” to a more public “hard-launch”, even if neither has issued a verbal statement.
Social channels have erupted with reactions, from fans excited by the new “NBA x Hip-Hop power couple”, to Klay’s dad, Mychal Thompson, who humorously feigned ignorance when asked about Megan by podcast hosts, replying, “Who’s that? I’ve never heard of her. She seems nice”. Meanwhile, NBA veterans like Draymond Green praise the match, celebrating Klay’s ‘”KIlla!” status on Instagram, and social media is flooded with both memes and heartfelt support.
