Klay Thompson is incredibly proud of his girlfriend, Megan Thee Stallion.
The couple made their public appearance on Wednesday, July 16, at the Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City, officially confirming their relationship. In 2022, Megan, who is 30, established a nonprofit organization aimed at supporting women, children, seniors, and underserved communities in Houston, Texas, and beyond. The gala at Gotham Hall was a tribute to her late parents, Joseph Pete III and Holly Thomas.
When asked about his feelings on attending the event with Megan, Thompson, 35, shared exclusively with Us Weekly, “It feels amazing because Megan is such a remarkable person who inspires countless individuals around the globe. I’ve witnessed it myself. This is just another incredible achievement for her, being able to give back, create a foundation, and raise significant funds for those in need. I’m honored to stand by her side.”
The four-time NBA champion expressed his wish to have met Holly and Joe, saying, “I know they would be immensely proud of their only daughter for what she has accomplished and what she will continue to achieve. She has never confined herself to a box, and she keeps inspiring so many people worldwide. Plus, she’s raising a lot of money tonight and doing so much for those in need.”
