Megan Thee Stallion is entering what she calls her “Lover Girl” era — and she says she didn’t plan it.
In a new exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the three-time Grammy winner reflected on her relationship with Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson and how focusing on her own healing helped open the door to love.
“Well, I don’t never want to tell [anybody] to just jump in a relationship just because everybody else got one, and I’m not going to tell you to just jump in a relationship because you have to,” the rapper said. “I didn’t even know I was going to be in my relationship, to be honest.”

Megan and Thompson made their red carpet debut in July 2025. But she says the relationship came at a time when she was prioritizing therapy and self-growth.
“I think that because finally I started being in a better mind space about myself and my life, and I had already been doing a lot of work to heal me,” she said. “I had been going to therapy, I had a bunch of activities that I started doing for myself; maybe God just opened up that space for me to have somebody that loved me right.”
Now, she says, she feels a level of ease she hasn’t experienced before.
“This is one of the first times that I’ve ever been just overly comfortable,” Megan said with a laugh: “I’m comfy, babe!”
Still, she cautions fans against chasing love.
“People got to stop trying to be in love and trying to chase love,” she said. “They just got to let it come to them. When it’s meant for you, it’s going to happen. God does not give you nothing that is not meant for you.”
The pair first sent fans into a frenzy in July 2025, when Megan posted a vacation IG photo featuring Klay Thompson in the background.
The Dallas Mavericks star also leaned into the rumors and soft-launched his relationship with the Houston rapper at the time, posting a photo dump of a trip to the Bahamas.
