Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson made their red carpet debut as a couple on July 16, 2025, at the inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City. The Grammy-winning rapper, 30, wore a custom Off-White black halter gown featuring a corset-inspired bodice, criss-cross neckline, and a heavily beaded sash at the hips, styled with minimal jewelry and a sleek chignon.
Thompson, 35, complemented her in a classic Tom Ford tuxedo, embodying “HAB” (husbands and boyfriends) elegance. The couple arrived hand-in-hand, shared a kiss on the carpet, and posed for photos-a “hard launch” confirming weeks of dating speculation.
During the event, Megan spoke candidly about their relationship, emphasizing Thompson’s character: “I have never dated somebody so kind… This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy”.
She described their first meeting as “like a fucking movie” but kept specifics private. Her praise contrasted with past relationships, highlighting Thompson’s emotional support. The NBA star reciprocated her admiration, even making a $50,000 charity bid for Super Bowl tickets during the gala’s auction.
The gala-hosted for Megan’s Pete & Thomas Foundation, named after her late parents-raised $1.2 million for underserved communities in Houston, focusing on education, housing, and health. The couple’s appearance capped weeks of subtle hints: Fans first spotted Thompson in the background of Megan’s July 9 Instagram pool photo (“soft-launching” their romance), followed by Thompson sharing a collage of their Bahamas trip, including a hand-holding shot.
Megan later deleted a TikTok showing her unboxing Labubus (stuffed animals) on his lap. Their synergy-balancing philanthropy, sports, and music-positions them as 2025’s breakout power couple.
