The NBA veteran was recently seen in New York looking very comfortable alongside Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion. The two were caught on camera leaving a Manhattan restaurant after what appeared to be a casual but romantic dinner. Thompson couldn't stop smiling as he walked her to the car, even flashing a big grin after closing the door behind her.
Instagram hints turn into a real-life confirmation
Rumors about the pair began circulating when fans noticed a mystery man in one of Megan's recent Instagram posts. The photo featured her relaxing poolside, and in the background, a man with a familiar build and beard looked a lot like Thompson. She posted the photo with just a palm tree and airplane emoji, fueling theories that the two were on a getaway together.
Thompson soon added his own photo drop, which included a picture of him kissing someone and another of a hand-holding moment. The nail polish of the woman in the photos matched Megan's perfectly, essentially confirming what fans had been guessing for days.

By the time video surfaced of their New York dinner date, most people had already put the puzzle together. The clip, which made the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), shows Thompson walking Megan to a car after dinner. He looks completely at ease and genuinely happy, making no effort to hide the affection between them.
While neither has made a public statement, their social media posts and public appearance make it clear they're not exactly keeping things under wraps. Fans are loving this unexpected pairing, with many calling them a new power couple in the making.
Thompson, now 34, is preparing for a fresh start in Dallas after a decade in Golden State that included four championships. Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion remains one of the biggest names in music, with a new album and a tour on the horizon.
Whether this is just a summer fling or something more serious, time will tell. But for now, it looks like both are enjoying each other's company and doing little to hide it.

MLB Trade Rumors: 2 Teams Actively Pursuing Eugenio Suarez Trade
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez has been prominent in MLB trade rumors this summer, with several clubs eyeing a deal for the All-Star hitter. Following an injury scare in the All-Star Game, it appears two clubs are the most prominent in talks on a deal. According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners are the two clubs known to be pursuing a trade for Suarez right now. While there reportedly might be a few other clubs involved, New York and Seattle appear to be at the forefront of talks with Arizona. Related: Eugenio Suarez stats (): .250/.320/.569, .889 OPS, 31 home runs, 18 doubles in 348 ABs With Suarez playing on an expiring deal, the Diamondbacks are expected to move him this summer. The 34-year-old corner infielder is one of the most coveted MLB trade candidates this summer, in part because he's widely recognized as being a great addition to a clubhouse. Suárez has publicly acknowledged the MLB trade rumors and specifically expressed his interest in returning to the Mariners or the Detroit Tigers, the club where he made his MLB debut in 2014. While his half-season rental status will cap Arizona's potential return, the number of interested teams could create a bidding war. Related: Eugenio Suarez contract (): $15 million salary in 2025 A two-time All-Star, Suárez has played exclusively third base and designated hitter over the past four seasons, with his only shortstop experience coming in 2021. He has never played first base during his major league career. The expectation is that Suárez will be traded by the July 31 deadline, with the Yankees and Tigers now viewed as favorites to land him.
