Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson were easily one of our favorite power couples of 2025.

According to Cosmopolitan, rumors around a potential romance between the Grammy Award-winning rapper and basketball star began to spread in early July after they discreetly posted about each other on their respective Instagram accounts. They then made their official red carpet debut later that same month, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Their love story has been a delight to watch unfold over the ensuing months and has even resulted in a catchy new tune for fans of Megan, with the artist releasing “Lover Girl” in October. So without further ado, here are just a handful of their cutest couple moments from this year that left fans everywhere swooning (us very much included).

When they made their red carpet debut

What better moment to start with than the moment that started it all—officially at least! Megan and Thompson made their red carpet debut as a couple for Megan’s inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala. The two also stopped for several interviews over the course of the evening, where they adorably gushed about each other and their budding relationship.

“This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy,” Megan told Page Six in an exclusive interview. “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.”

When Thompson taught Megan golf

Over the course of the year, Megan has shared clips of Thompson teaching her how to play golf, and it’s been absolutely adorable to see unfold on our timelines. Seeing them hit the green together for an adventurous couple’s activity has been a delight, only made better by the rapper’s incredible style on the green.

The first video in their golf series was posted back in July, with the most recent update posted in December, showing that their lessons are still going strong—as is their growing bond.

When they celebrated Thanksgiving as a couple

Megan took to her Instagram account the day after Thanksgiving to show her followers what she’d prepared for the holiday. “Let me tell you all about cooking for my man and his family for Thanksgiving,” the rapper said to start the video. She went on to show her incredible meal before adding, “I was really nervous [...] I’ve got to show them that I really love their son.”

And the Thompsons appeared to love the delicious spread the rapper had prepared, with Megan saying that “Mr. Thompson said that I could easily own my own restaurant” and that they felt “it was a 10 out of 10.”

When they reviewed food together

And speaking of food, the power couple was equally adorable when Megan had Thompson review food with her on Instagram. The two started with a lobster roll, which Thompson said he loved before looking at Megan and adding, “She’s not impressed!” Sure enough, the rapper rated the dish a six (or five) out of 10.

“I feel honored to be on Megan’s food review,” Thompson said in the middle of the video, joking about the “exclusive” privilege. He also complimented her outfit, with the two laughing together the entire time. In short, please give these two a cooking show. Or a travel show. Or any show (just give them a show!).

When Megan styled “her man”

Last but not least, we loved this recent video of Megan styling Thompson. In the cute clip, the couple stood in what appeared to be their huge closet as the rapper selected clothes for the athlete to try on. Megan’s picks included a long-sleeved khaki top beneath a coordinating camo jacket and pants set. The two then danced together to end the video, which Megan captioned, “Pleaseeeee put that s--- on baby 😂 #stylingmyman.”

All in all, we’re wishing nothing but the best for our favorite new couple going into 2026, and can’t wait to see what sweet moments they share with their fans in the new year!
