A Timeline of Megan Thee Stallion & Klay Thompson’s Relationship
Written by djfrosty on November 14, 2025
The sports world has another high-profile WAG – that stands for wives and girlfriends if you don’t already know – in Megan Thee Stallion, who started dating Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Klay Thompson in the summer of 2025.
And just like another pairing between an A-List musician (Meg boasts three no. 1 hits on the Hot 100 as well as three Grammys) and an athletic legend (Thompson earned four championship rings as a key part of the Golden State Warriors), the duo receives a lot of attention for their coupling. (And also similar to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, there are plenty of criticism from basketball fans – and commentators – too.)
But nothing phases the lovers. “We met and it was such a meet cute,” Megan told People in July. “I won’t tell you how and I won’t tell you when, but it was a movie,” adding that “he’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.”
Between golfing outings, games, and plenty of PDA-packed posts on their social media accounts, Megan and Klay seem more than comfortable sharing their journey with everyone, while still having time for their own careers. (Her latest single “Lover Girl” – with the appropriately sexy and loved-up lyrics “My man, my man, my man, my baby, my baby/ Dickin’ me down, spoilin’ me, drivin’ me crazy” – dropped at the end of October, and he returned to the court for his 13th season in the NBA the same month.)
Keep reading below for a complete timeline of their blossoming relationship.

Nov. 13, 2025: Meg Gets Blamed for His Troubles on the Court, But Klay Claps Back
Thompson lost his starting spot on the Mavericks, and critics had some thoughts. On the Hoopin’ N Hollerin’ podcast, co-host (and retired NBA player) Jason Williams insinuated that Thompson’s lackluster start to the season could be due to his love life. “I’m from West Virginia, man. I’ve been taught a lot by some old folks, old white folks. It only takes one p—y to drag a battleship across a desert. That’s how powerful it is,” he said. “I ain’t saying that’s what it is, but that might be what it is.”
In response to William’s accusations, Thompson blasted the take on Instagram. “Referring to my GF as a ‘p—y’ is so disgusting and disturbing. Especially from someone who played in the NBA. How would yall feel if I referred to your wives in such a way,” he wrote. “Do better fellas. Very disappointing.”
