Megan Thee Stallion (real name Megan Pete) has made her budding romance with Klay Thompson official.
The 'Hot Girl Summer' rapper recently made a red carpet debut with Thompson as they attended her Inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City on July 16.
The gala is her first ever benefit gala that she has done in honour of her late parents, Holly Thomas and Joseph Pete III, to raise funds for programs focused on education, housing, health and wellness..
The 30-year-old stepped out looking ethereal in a black tie-neck gown that featured a shimmering asymmetrical belt on the hips, while Thompson wore a classic black tuxedo with a white shirt and a black bow.
According to 'Page Six', the rapper revealed that she has never dated someone as kind as Thompson.
'I have never dated somebody so kind. This is my first relationship where I've ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.
'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,' she revealed to the publication.
The rapper and her new beau first sparked dating rumours early this month as they shared mysterious content of each other on social media.
Megan Thee Stallion first posted pictures of herself while on vacation with a mysterious man in the background on one of her Instagram carousel pictures.

Fans quickly spotted that it was indeed the 'Mamushi' rapper, as they flocked to the comment section to congratulate the lovebirds on their newly found romance.
A social media user wrote: 'Love this for them.'
Another user added: 'Yesss, we love this couple.'

Something on the side? Nando's pokes fun at Astronomer CEO
Nando's has done it again with another hilarious social media post, this time mocking Astronomer CEO Andy Byron who was recently caught cosying up to his alleged mistress during a Coldplay concert. While Nando's originated from South Africa, its Australian counterpart took a page out of its book with a cheeky advert. In an Instagram post, the flame-grilled chicken restaurant ran a promotion that poked fun at Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron. The ad read, 'Little something on the side? Enter Coldplay for a free regular side with any main.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nando's ANZ (@nandosaus) In a clip that broke the internet last week, Byron was caught canoodling with an employee, Kristin Cabot, during a Coldplay concert. Byron is a married man whose wife's name is Megan Kerrigan Byron. Lead singer Chris Martin said of the awkward moment: 'Either they're having an affair or they're very shy.' Meanwhile, Astronomer – the DataOps company Andy Byron worked for – has responded to the social media storm with a cheeky video of their own. In the clip, an unexpected guest – Gwyneth Paltrow, the ex-wife of Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin – made an appearance. In it, she tackled several 'burning questions' about the company and the scandal. Claiming that she had been 'hired on a temporary basis' in a PR post, Paltrow said: 'Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days – and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.' The Hollywood actress went on to indirectly answer a few spoof questions about what had happened. 'We'll now be returning to what we do best: delivering game-changing results for our customers,' she added. The video comes after Andy Byron stepped down from his post as Astronomer CEO amid the backlash. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .

Also read: Scouts welcome Johannesburg Children's Home for weekend of fun and friendship The talent day was made up of sporting activities, including netball, soccer, running, and dance competitions. Afrika Tikkun's CEO, Marc Lubner, explained that although there were prizes for winners, every single child present would receive a prize. 'The Talent Day Initiative started approximately 12 years ago; we were a much smaller organisation. We've got a new group that's here today from Marikana, which is part of our latest outreach programme.' Lubner added that the NPO has begun to engage with children with disabilities in an inclusion programme. 'So rather than keeping the disabled children separate, we involve the children in mainstream.'
