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.

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.

Heidi Klum says the biggest misconception about being a woman over 50 is that 'you are off the shelf'
Heidi Klum is 52, embracing her wrinkles, and still posing in lingerie, because she said she doesn't think aging is anything to be ashamed of. In an interview with People published on Monday, the supermodel spoke about marriage, motherhood, and what it's like to age in the spotlight. Klum told People that she is pushing back against the assumption that women in their 50s lose relevance because of their age. "The biggest misconception [about] being in your 50s is that you are off the shelf. You're not off the shelf," Klum said. "We are very much on that shelf for everyone to see. Don't hide in your 50s." The "Project Runway" host added that beauty evolves with time, and she's "here for the change." "If it's always the same, life is boring," she said. Klum, who has four kids with her ex-husband Seal, isn't afraid to show off her body either. "I've been photographing nude or in lingerie since 1992, way before Instagram," Klum said. "So for me, it's nothing new. For the past 15 years, other people are now doing what I've been doing for 30 years. Instead of being in my little bottoms in a magazine, I'm on Instagram. It's the same thing." It doesn't matter that she's older, she said: "I don't have this age-shaming or body-shaming thing. I feel like everyone should do what they want to do. I like to run around sexy — even now at 52." But it does help to see how perspectives on aging have shifted in recent years, she added. "Now it's OK to be older — but it didn't use to be like that," she says. "I feel like we're more welcoming of wrinkles and rolls on our body. Being accepted at every age is amazing. That we've changed and come all that way," Klum said. She said she isn't opposed to getting cosmetic enhancements like Botox. Still, she said she sees aging as something to look forward to. "Don't we all want to get old? I know we always say that, but it's the truth. I'm already looking at 60 and 70, hopefully 80 and 90. And if we're still kicking it then, let's celebrate," Klum said. A representative for Klum did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. Klum joins a growing list of famous women speaking candidly and optimistically about growing older. In November, Lauren Sánchez Bezos said she never expected to have so much to look forward to after turning 50. "When I was 20, I thought, 'Oh my gosh, life is over at 50.' Let me tell you: It is not, ladies. It is not over," she said during a "Today" show appearance. In January, Chelsea Handler said she isn't afraid of growing older and is excited for all that her 50s would offer. "My life is exactly what I hoped it would be — it's more than I hoped it would be. I had no idea what the possibilities were or that I could live a life like this and feel so free," Handler told Parade.

Nikola Jokić cries tears of joy, takes champagne shower after his horse wins race in Serbia
Much was made about Nikola Jokić's stoic reaction to winning the 2023 NBA championship. This is not that. Jokić, whose love of his horses is well-documented, watched one of them win a race in his home country of Serbia on Sunday. Arena Sport TV documented the action and Jokić's reaction in a video that the Denver Nuggets shared Sunday afternoon. Jokić let the emotions fly. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] After his horse crossed the finish line, Jokić put his head in his hands in tears. He then hopped a fence to access the track, still in tears as he approached his horse and his driver with his arms wide open. He then shared a hug with the driver and gave his horse a pat on the back. The tears kept flowing as he walked with his team to the celebration circle. There, Jokić was in charge of the magnum bottle of champagne. He popped the cork, then sprayed down his team, horse included. He then proceeded to pour champagne on the heads of his team members while saving the final champagne shower for himself. It was a display of unbridled joy. Cue up Jokić's stoic reaction in the immediate aftermath of leading the Nuggets to the NBA championship in 2023: "It's good," Jokić told ESPN when asked how it feels to win his first championship. "The job is done. We can go home now." This reaction resulted in jokes about how much Jokić does or doesn't care about basketball. Which were, of course, silly. Jokić has been the best basketball player in the world for several years running. He's a three-time MVP and a two-time Olympic medalist in addition to being an NBA champion. Of course he cares about basketball. A lot. One doesn't reach his level without caring. And he did let his guard down in the ensuing celebrations in the Nuggets locker room ... : ... and again during Denver's championship parade: But it's fair to say that Jokić's love for his horses and their racing success holds an unparalleled place in his heart. Nothing — at least in public — seems to come close.
