The rapper, who hails from Texas, stirred buzz about her personal life last week after she cryptically featured Thompson in a swimsuit post.
The four-time NBA champion alluded to the relationship days later in PDA-filled photos.
In a shot shared on Saturday on Instagram, Thompson could be seen embracing a woman, whose face was turned away from the camera. However, her pink nails matched those Megan rocked in the original swimsuit pics.

Megan's relationship with Thompson comes nearly a year after she was linked to NBA forward Torrey Craig. He played for the Bulls at the time.
Thompson was previously involved with actress Laura Harrier.
The five-time NBA All-Star is coming off his first season in Dallas after spending the first 13 seasons of his career with Golden State.
Thompson originally agreed to a three-year, $50 million contract with the Mavericks in free agency last summer.

The backstory behind the best sports photo of the week
Yahoo Sports AM is our daily newsletter that keeps you up to date on all things sports. Sign up here to get it every weekday morning. 🚨 Headlines 🏀 CP3 returns to Clippers: Chris Paul has signed a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the Clippers ahead of his 21st (and likely final) NBA season, returning to the franchise he called home from 2011-17. Is this the best Clippers teams he's ever been on? 🏈 Jerry takes jabs: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones opened training camp by taking passive aggressive digs at Micah Parsons, Dak Prescott and other Dallas players. His comments, unsurprisingly, did not seem to go over very well. 🎾 Venus returns: Venus Williams teamed with Hailey Baptiste to win their doubles opener at the DC Open — her first time competing at a tournament in more than a year. "I just love this game," said Williams, 45, who hopes her sister Serena, 43, makes a comeback of her own. 🎓 AAC rebrands: The American Athletic Conference has changed its name to The American Conference, or simply The American, as part of a rebranding effort. The conference also announced its new mascot, "Soar," the eagle. 🏀 Liberty add Meesseman: Former Mystics star Emma Meesseman is joining the Liberty midseason as New York looks to defend its title. Meesseman is a three-time defending Euroleague MVP and earned WNBA Finals MVP honors back in 2019. 📸 Behind the lens When I came across this photo yesterday, I was immediately floored. But I could not, for the life of me, figure out what was happening in the frame. How was the image being reflected like that? To find out, I went straight to the source: the man behind the camera. His answer blew me away. Sean Gardner, Getty Images Stringer: Dover is a bit special to me — it was one of the first races I ever covered when I started shooting NASCAR for Getty Images 14 years ago. And even now, no matter how many times we return to a track, each weekend is a chance to see something new. The morning of the Xfinity Series race brought several rain showers, which led to the cancelation of Cup practice and qualifying. I'd already shot some rain features earlier and noticed some interesting reflections in another part of the track. So, the idea was already planted in my mind: time to look for something a little more dynamic. After I shot the race start and some pre-race frames, I went out exploring. I walked between Turns 3 and 4 and immediately noticed a large puddle. I wasn't sure if the image I had in my head was going to work, but as I walked closer, it all started to come together. So, there I was, lying flat on my belly in the middle of Turn 3, giggling a little — along with the safety crews, who were clearly entertained watching me commit to this puddle-shot adventure. I only stayed there for about two laps, but I got lucky — the cars bunched up perfectly during a restart, and I captured the frame I was hoping for. That was it. I stood up with a wet shirt, a soaked camera strap, and a grin. Then it was off to find the next unique moment. There's a good feeling that comes from making a frame that works — even if it's fleeting. So here's to today. And whatever comes tomorrow. ⚾️ Wild ending in Philly The Phillies held onto their slim lead atop the NL East with one of the wildest, strangest and most unique endings you'll ever see on Monday, beating the Red Sox on — of all things — a walk-off catcher's interference. A series of unfortunate events: The bottom of the 10th, as all extra innings do, started with a zombie runner on second base. From there, Boston did just about everything in its power to give this game away, and Philly gladly obliged. The first batter drew a four-pitch walk, putting men on first and second, followed by a wild pitch to the second batter, which moved each runner up. With first base open, the Sox opted for an intentional walk in hopes of setting up a double play. The third batter, 2B Edmundo Sosa, quickly got to two strikes, but when he checked his swing on the fifth pitch, his bat caught the tip of Red Sox catcher Carlos Narváez's glove. Upon review, the umpires called it a catcher's interference, giving Sosa first base and bringing in the game-winning run. Rare occurrence: There have been 242,212 games in MLB history, and this was just the second to end on a walk-off catcher's interference. The first? Dodgers 5, Reds 4 on Aug. 1, 1971. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles… The rare feats on Monday weren't limited to the City of Brotherly Love. Shohei Ohtani, in his sixth pitching start of the season, became the first pitcher to both hit and allow a home run in the first inning of the same game since 1979. ⚽️ Le Azzurre: A nation on the rise Italy faces England today for a spot in the Women's Euro final — a monumental achievement for a team of women who only earned the right to turn pro in their own country three years ago. What they're saying: "It's a great joy to be among the top four in Europe," said captain Cristiana Girelli, who led Le Azzurre to their first semifinal since 1997. "Obviously we do this for our glory but there is a much deeper meaning … which is that in Italy, women can play soccer too." A long time coming: Italy's Serie A Femminile was founded in 1968, but remained amateur for decades even as their men's counterpart stood at times as the world's premier soccer league. Players earned as little as $67 per week, plus an $86 match bonus, and benefits like healthcare and pensions were a pipe dream. The turning point came in 2019, when Italy's surprise run to the Women's World Cup quarterfinals ignited a passionate fanbase that showed how popular women's soccer could be, driving calls for professionalization. It helped that at the same time, clubs like Juventus and AC Milan began investing more heavily in their women's teams. Just one year later, following a new law passed by the Italian Senate that removed the salary cap, the Italian soccer federation voted unanimously to grant professional status to Serie A Femminile beginning in 2022. The last word: "We've reached something amazing, something extraordinary, and however it goes, I really hope it continues to feed this passion, this love for us," said Girelli. "I really hope that with all my heart, because we struggled to get here." 📊 By the numbers ⚾️ 36 HR No player in MLB history has been traded in-season after reaching 35 home runs. Diamondbacks All-Star 3B Eugenio Suárez, who is now up to 36 after homering for the fifth time in three games on Monday, is a strong candidate to become the first as the July 31 trade deadline approaches. Go deeper: 6 players who could be on the move at the deadline 🏈 10.5 wins Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon and Penn State (10.5 wins) have the highest college football season win totals at BetMGM. Alabama, Boise State, Clemson, Georgia, Liberty, Miami and Texas (9.5 wins) have the second-highest. 🎓 $200 million In the most lucrative membership proposal in college sports history, Memphis has made a $200 million offer to enter the Big 12, sources tell Yahoo Sports. For now, it does not have enough support but potentially sets a standard for all future expansion. 🥍 355 goals Boston Cannons attackman Marcus Holman tied Paul Rabil for second-most goals (355) in pro field lacrosse history on Saturday and now trails only John Grant Jr. (393) for most all-time. Holman's history-making goal came during the PLL game of the year: Denver 18, Boston 17. 📺 Watchlist: Tuesday, July 22 🚴 Tour de France, Stage 16 | 6:10am ET, Peacock Today's 107-mile ride starts in Montpelier before concluding with a punishing climb up Mont Ventoux.

Hint: He famously threw a 149-pitch, 8-walk no-hitter for Arizona in 2010. Answer at the bottom. ⛳️ The four-cut club Golf's major season has come and gone, and while it's clear who's had the best year, Scottie Scheffler isn't the only player to find wide-ranging success at the biggest events of 2025. Exclusive club: Just 16 golfers made the cut at all four majors, including the winners of all four. And while the top three (as ranked by cumulative score to par) are, appropriately, the world's top three golfers, there are a few names on this list that might surprise you. 🏆🏆 Scottie Scheffler: -32 🏆 Rory McIlroy: -11 Xander Schauffele: -10 Corey Conners: -8* Jon Rahm: -6 Harris English: -5 Matt Fitzpatrick: -1 Tyrrell Hatton: -1 🏆 J.J. Spaun: +1 Aaron Rai: +3 Viktor Hovland: +3 Maverick McNealy: +5 Sam Burns: +6 Daniel Berger: +7 Rasmus Hojgaard: +14 Brian Harman: +17 Looking ahead: There are just two events left in the PGA Tour's regular season before the three-leg FedEx Cup playoffs begin on Aug. 7 in Memphis. Then comes the Ryder Cup in late September at New York's iconic Bethpage Black. *Conners made the cut at the U.S. Open but withdrew after Round 3 with a wrist injury. Given how tough Oakmont was playing, his -8 cumulative score would have likely been at least a few strokes worse.

Gen Z History Buff Stunned To Find Wartime Message in Jane Austen Novel
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A 26-year-old history enthusiast's unique find has sparked a wave of online fascination after she showed off the World War I-era message she discovered tucked inside a book. Meg, from the U.K., who would prefer to keep her full name private, had shared the worn edition of the Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice to Instagram on November 10, 2024. She flipped open the front page to show two poignant handwritten notes. One was addressed to the recipient of the gift and was signed off, "with love, from Eyre, Christmas 1915." The second, written below in a different hand, adds a somber footnote: "Eyre was reported missing on the Battle of Somme." The short clip, posted under @historywithmegs, has been liked almost 100,000 times to date. The discovery—likely missed by countless hands that handled the book over the decades—has captivated viewers, many commenting in awe at the glimpse into a personal story from a war now more than a century past. "I was actually shown the copy by one of my colleagues at my old place of work, Bookends bookshop in Carlisle, England," Meg told Newsweek. "The store is run alongside Bookcase, an antiquarian and secondhand bookshop, and we would often marvel at the many treasures held there during quiet times or on our breaks. Meg looks into the camera lens, left, and shares the inside of the book with viewers, right. Meg looks into the camera lens, left, and shares the inside of the book with viewers, right. @historywithmegs "I believe it had come into the store either through a donated collection, or as stock bought at an estate sale or auction," Meg said. Her video struck a chord with her audience, many of whom expressed admiration for the simple act of love preserved in the fragile pages of the book. In her caption, Meg wrote: "Lest we forget … This amazing little piece of social history has survived over 100 years and two world wars and continues to speak of kindness and humanity in its legacy … Today is an important time to reflect, remember and commemorate." Meg's caption, paired with the emotional nature of the find, helped the video resonate widely, turning the artifact into a symbol of remembrance ahead of Veterans Day. "It has been amazing to see the way that people online have connected with the post and the story behind the book," Meg said. "I think it is wonderful that this simple act of kindness, the Christmas gift of a book, is still inspiring people and touching lives over a hundred years later." Meg poses inside two British historical attractions. Meg poses inside two British historical attractions. @historywithmegs For Meg, the find is more than a moment of historical curiosity—it is a personal tribute to the humanity behind the war and the young lives lost. "Of course, the poignant inscription, referencing the fact that Eyre was declared missing in action at the Battle of the Somme, adds a whole new dimension, too," she said. "I hope that, by sharing the book on social media, I have contributed in some small way to preserving Eyre's legacy of kindness." The Battle of the Somme, which began in July 1916, remains one of the bloodiest campaigns in British military history, with more than 1 million men wounded or killed over the course of the monthslong offensive. The brief message in the book—spared by time and fate—offers a rare and intimate window into the individual stories lost in the scale of war. "As the First World War becomes evermore distant, it is incredibly important that we remember the lives of young people like Eyre who were involved in the conflict," Meg said. "Eyre was not just a soldier; he was a human being, with his own dreams and loves and hopes. "I think that this little book does a beautiful job of reflecting this," the finder added.

Retriever and German Shepherd Have Puppies, Viewers Not Prepared for Result
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A new mutt is taking over Instagram. The internet is abuzz with a dog owner's introduction of a litter of puppies described as "Golden Shepherds"—a cross between a German shepherd mother and a golden retriever father. An Instagram reel showcasing the charming pups has quickly gained traction, sparking both adoration and debate among dog owners. "Mom was a German Shepherd. Dad was a golden retriever. These are a perfect combination of loyal, alert, protective and sweet," the creator wrote in the video. "Meet our 'Golden Shepherd': loyal like a German Shepherd, loving like a golden retriever. You get the fluff, the smarts and the snuggles in one perfect package." A person holds a German shepherd puppy outside. A person holds a German shepherd puppy video's comments section quickly filled with an outpouring of affection and shared experiences. Many users praised the apparent benefits of this mix. "That's gotta be the best mix ever," one person wrote. "Loving and derpy like goldens but smart and trainable like shepherds!" Another proud owner shared their positive experience: "We have a 'Golden Shepherd'! She is the most amazing dog. Rosie and her litter mates were accidents … She is the absolute best dog in the world." The sentiment for German shepherd mixes in general was strong, with another comment saying that they are "the best." "Had a German Shepherd husky mix and later a German Shepherd collie mix growing up," the viewer wrote. "They were both such lovely sweet and caring dogs." The Breeding Debate While largely lighthearted, the discussion also veered into some debate surrounding designer breeds versus mutts. Some users were critical of the "breed" designation for a mixed-breed dog, with one commenter saying: "Breed? This is a MUTT. Stop purposefully breeding dogs and calling them their own breeds. Adopt don't shop, anyone breeding dogs like this should be ashamed of themselves." "Glad they are rescues," another wrote. "But humans being disgusting and greedy as they are, I can see someone intentionally seeking out a designer mutt." The comments reflect a broader conversation within the pet community about responsible breeding practices and the importance of animal adoption. "[Public Service Announcement]: Please never purchase one of these from a breeder," another commenter posted. "Even an 'accidental litter.' Only buy cross breeds from shelters or people passing them on. Never buy mutts." And, of course, the practical side of owning such a fluffy mix wasn't overlooked. A funny comment pointed to a likely consequence of combining two notoriously shedding breeds: "The breed was engineered by vacuum cleaner companies," the viewer wrote. Newsweek reached out to @lifewithgoldenshepherds for comment via Instagram.
