NBA star Klay Thompson shocked the basketball world when he left the Golden State Warriors last summer in free agency to join the Dallas Mavericks, but this summer, he is making headlines for a much different reason.

Thompson, a four-time champion with the Warriors, has made waves on social media after going public with a new relationship, with none other than world-famous artist Megan Thee Stallion. Music and basketball fans were all shocked by this duo, but the new couple has only had high praise for one another.

"I hope you win another ring, Klay!"

At the NYC Gala, Thompson was asked about how it feels to support his new celebrity partner.

"It feels incredible because Megan is such a special person and she inspires so many around the world," Thompson told US Weekly. "I've seen it first-hand. This is just another incredible feat of hers, to be able to give back, create a foundation, raise a ton of money for those in need, and I'm honored to be here by her side."

This came after Megan Thee Stallion had high words for Thompson.

"I have never dated somebody so kind,” she told Page Six. “This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy."
