Megan Thee Stallion is wholly in love with Klay Thompson, and she recently spoke on how the relationship surprised her.

The Internet sadly won't leave Megan Thee Stallion alone, as folks continue to peddle unfounded conspiracy theories about her and the Tory Lanez case. But amid her many other reasons for gratitude, her relationship with Klay Thompson and the deep love she feels is fueling her perseverance. Not only that, but the Houston femcee recently reflected on how her personal mental health journey opened her up to this love.

In an interview with PEOPLE, she said she didn't see the relationship coming, and that working on herself made love land at the right time. "Well, I don't never want to tell [anybody] to just jump in a relationship just because everybody else got one, and I'm not going to tell you to just jump in a relationship because you have to," Megan expressed. "I didn't even know I was going to be in my relationship, to be honest... 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. 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."

"This is one of the first times that I've ever been just overly comfortable," she added. "I'm comfy, babe!" Thee Stallion also reportedly spoke on not chasing love and instead welcoming it when it arrives.

Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
