A now-viral social media post from Megan Thee Stallion appeared to quietly reveal that Mavericks guard Klay Thompson celebrated her 31st birthday with an ultra-luxury Bentley Mulsanne, reportedly valued at around $400,000, triggering a wave of reactions across X and Instagram. But neither Megan nor Thompson disclosed any details about the vehicle purchase beyond the social media posts.

The buzz began after X user @FearedBuck shared images of the rapper standing beside a light-blue Bentley adorned with a massive bow, inside what appeared to be a private garage. Megan Thee Stallion celebrated her birthday on February 15.

Rumors about Thee Stallion and Thompson first began circulating in early July 2025 after fans noticed a man believed to be Thompson in the background of Megan’s poolside Instagram photos. Around the same time, Thompson shared images from a similar setting, which fueled speculation that the two were seeing each other.

On July 16, 2025, the pair were spotted attending the Pete and Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City together. They were seen holding hands on the red carpet, marking their first public appearance as a couple and effectively confirming their relationship. And by October 24, 2025, Megan appeared to reference her relationship with Thompson in her single Lover Girl.

As of January 2026, the couple had continued sharing moments together on social media following their July 2025 public debut. In February 2026, Megan described herself as overly comfortable in the relationship during an interview, further indicating that they were still together publicly.
