Klay Thompson and rapper girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion<\/a> took a major step in their relationship Wednesday when they made their red carpet debut.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The couple stepped out as an item for the first time after a week of dropping sizzling hints<\/a> about their blossoming romance on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Grammy<\/a> Award winner, 30, clutched her NBA<\/a> beau’s hand as they made their dazzling entrance into the\u00a0Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City<\/a> Wednesday evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The love birds made for a striking pair as Megan wowed in an elegant halter-neck black gown complete with an asymmetrical silver embellishment at her hips. Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> star cut a dapper figure in a classic black-and-white tux.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, after finally taking their relationship public <\/a>an evening earlier, the rapper couldn’t resist gushing over the four-time NBA champion.<\/p>\n

‘I have never dated somebody so kind,’ she told Page Six <\/a>at the event at Gotham Hall. ‘This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.’<\/p>\n

The new couple made their red carpet debut as they attended a gala in New York City\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I just never dated somebody like him before and I’m just grateful that he’s here by my side and he feels the same way about me.’<\/p>\n

And the couple looked as loved-up as Megan claimed with the hoops star gave her a quick smooch before leaving her to take solo photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the Savage hitmaker shared sizzling bikini photos with her new beau in the background while they were enjoying a tropical couple’s getaway together in the Bahamas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans noticed Thompson in the background on a sun lounger in photos that the rapper had posted of herself while on holiday over the weekend, sparking rumors that they are now an item.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And they confirmed the speculation Tuesday night when they enjoyed a date night at New York hotspot Carbone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their romance comes just three months after Megan’s relationship with another basketball player, Boston Celtics small forward Torrey Craig, seemingly came to an end.<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the years, the 30-year-old has been romantically linked with a number of high-profile names, including Chelsea soccer star Romelu Lukaku.<\/p>\n

She also previously dated fellow rappers Tory Lanez \u2014 who is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after shooting her in the foot nearly five years ago \u2014 and Moneybagg Yo, as well as songwriter Pardison ‘Pardi’ Fontaine.<\/p>\n

The Mavericks star planted a kiss on his girlfriend’s lips before letting her have her moment\u00a0<\/p>\n

In August of last year, the musician confirmed she was dating Craig after accidentally sharing a video of them together on TikTok.<\/p>\n

She posted a clip of her and Craig, who was playing for the Chicago Bulls at the time, carrying out a couple’s challenge while laying in bed together.<\/p>\n

In the video, the loved-up pair fielded a series of questions on their relationship while shutting their eyes and pointing to the person.<\/p>\n

At one stage, they were even asked who said the words ‘I love you’ first, with both of them pointing to the other in a video that was quickly deleted.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Thompson, the son of former NBA player Mychal Thompson, recently wrapped up his debut season with the Mavericks after ending his 13-year stay with the Golden State Warriors in 2024.<\/p>\n

He put pen to paper on a three-year, $50m contract in Dallas via a six-team sign and trade, which also included the Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

In his first year with the Mavs the shooting guard made 72 appearances, averaging 14 points, 3.4 rebounds and two assists per game.<\/p>\n
