Megan Thee Stallion is embracing her “Lover Girl” era with confidence and joy. After years of focusing on her mental health and self-love, the rapper has found a relationship that feels right with NBA star Klay Thompson. In a recent interview with People, Megan revealed that love came unexpectedly, proving that timing and self-growth play a huge role in finding the right partner.
“I didn’t even know I was going to be in my relationship, to be honest,” Megan shared. Her honesty highlights a shift in perspective that resonates with many in rap and hip hop culture, where balancing career, public life, and personal well-being can be a challenge. Fans first glimpsed the couple’s chemistry in July 2025 at Megan’s Pete & Thomas Foundation gala, where they made their red carpet debut together.
Finding love also arrived at a pivotal moment in Megan’s life. Over the past few years, she’s been open about focusing on her mental health, healing, and self-discipline.
The rapper explained, “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 said, emphasizing how personal growth prepared her for a healthy relationship.
Megan Thee Stallion feels “overly comfortable” with Klay Thompson
Megan Thee Stallion describes her relationship with Klay Thompson as a space where she can truly be herself. She emphasized that for the first time, she feels “overly comfortable” in a relationship. This comfort is rare for someone constantly in the spotlight, and it shows a side of the rapper that fans don’t always see.
The couple has been supportive of each other at major events, and Megan went all out to celebrate Thompson’s 36th birthday. She arranged a surprise performance by legendary rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, one of Thompson’s favorites, creating a memorable moment where the two could enjoy music and dance together.
Clips from the celebration show Thompson rapping along to “Crossroads” with Megan, blending personal joy and hip hop culture seamlessly.
Balancing love, health, and career
Beyond romance, Megan Thee Stallion is prioritizing structure, self-discipline, and self-care. She’s been vocal about therapy, nutrition, and fitness, noting that learning to properly fuel her body, especially with protein, has transformed her energy and focus.
“I had been going to therapy, I had a bunch of activities that I started doing for myself; maybe God just opened up that space for me to have somebody that loved me right,” she said, reflecting on how self-work laid the foundation for her current happiness.
Her relationship with Thompson fits naturally into this framework. By finding someone grounded and supportive, Megan is able to maintain balance between her personal life and her demanding career in rap and hip hop.
Megan Thee Stallion prepares Act 3
While Megan enjoys love, she’s also deep into creating her upcoming Act 3 project, the final installment of her MEGAN series. Although she hasn’t revealed a release date, fans can expect the album later this year. Megan has been “hiding from everybody” to focus on music, committing herself fully to studio sessions and her fitness routine.
“I’m definitely in the studio,” she told PEOPLE. She promises her fans, the “hotties,” that the wait will be worth it. “The hotties just need to give me a little time. I’ll be in the gym and the studio, the gym and the studio.” Her last project, MEGAN: Act II, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in October 2024, setting high expectations for this next chapter.
Megan Thee Stallion’s combination of love, comfort, and creative focus shows that her “Lover Girl” era isn’t just about romance; it’s about personal growth, happiness, and artistry. Fans can look forward to seeing her flourish both personally and professionally while enjoying her music, performances, and this new chapter in her life.
