Megan Thee Stallion is fully in her “Lover Girl” era. The rapper recently spoke with PEOPLE about her relationship with NBA star Klay Thompson, revealing she didn’t even expect to be in a relationship.

“Well, I don’t never want to tell [anybody] to just jump in a relationship just because everybody else got one, and I’m not going to tell you to just jump in a relationship because you have to,” Megan says. “I didn’t even know I was going to be in my relationship, to be honest.” Back in July 2025, Megan and Thompson made their red carpet debut at the rapper’s inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation gala.

The relationship with Thompson apparently came right on time. For the past few years, the rapper has been open about her mental health struggles. After focusing on improving her mental and physical health, as well as self-love, she found herself ready to accept the love she deserved. “I think that because finally I started being in a better mind space about myself and my life, and I had already been doing a lot of work to heal me,” she recalls.
