Klay Thompson, a four-time NBA champion and shooting guard for the Dallas Mavericks, recently returned from his Bahamas vacation. His recent time off has ignited a wave of rumors across Twitter and TikTok regarding his on-again, off-again romance with musical superstar Megan Thee Stallion, aka Megan Pete. They documented their journey with an Instagram carousel that’s an absolute feast for the eyes, featuring colorful shots from their trip. One particularly great shot featured Thompson posing next to Pete by a gorgeous family pool.
Written to cut through the noise of rumors on Instagram, Thompson’s post sought to quell speculation. He paired the post with a caption that read, “I’m all gas no brakes Jerome.” Most people interpreted this as Tyra’s lighthearted way of addressing the rumors swirling around his single-dom. The post featured a lot of great behind-the-scenes moments. One specific slide seemed to feature Pete most prominently, with Thompson standing next to her, creating even more buzz and curiosity among social media fans and followers.
Thompson’s presence in the background of an unrelated photo posted by Pete only fueled that speculation. On the bed he again posed with nonchalance. Social media users were quick to do the math and put two and two together between the two stars. The surprising pairings and collaborations generated responses from some of the biggest stars and entertainers in the sports world. His old teammate Quinn Cook teased him, “There he gooooooo! In the meantime, NBA star Dwight Howard expressed his support for the duo’s relationship by replying to the photo with three fire emojis.”
Kevin Durant then jumped into the conversation, yelling “THAT BOY” as Thompson described his relationship with Pete. His statement resulted in a huge wave of public activism on the matter. He’s never been afraid of the spotlight, and his player’s recent social media activity suggests he’s ready for prime time. He seems to genuinely love providing his fans with little peeks into his private life.
Our Bahamas trip was also responsible for a lot of Instagram feed and story spam. Now, everyone is wondering what Thompson’s and Pete’s relationship actually is. They’ve been romantically linked in the past. This getaway looks to be a turning point for the two stars. Until then, fans are left to eagerly await what’s next. It’s an open question how Thompson and Pete will orchestrate their new public personas under all this increasing freneticism.
