Megan Thee Stallion ended her nearly year-long relationship with Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson by accusing him of infidelity and emotional volatility in a public Instagram post on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
The rapper detailed her grievances in a series of Stories, writing that Thompson had “cheated, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet'” and accused him of subjecting her to “HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment” during the NBA season, leaving her questioning whether he could be “monogamous.” She concluded with a blunt dismissal: “bitch I need a REAL break after this one .. Bye yall.”
Hours later, Megan confirmed the split to Page Six, stating, “I’ve made the decision to conclude my relationship with Klay. Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward.” She added that she was using the time to “prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.” Thompson, 36, has not publicly responded to the allegations.
The couple had gone public with their romance in July 2025 after a cryptic Instagram post showed Thompson in the background of one of Megan’s photos. By October, they had moved in together, marking a rapid escalation in their relationship that contrasted sharply with its abrupt dissolution. Sources close to Megan noted she had recently celebrated her 31st birthday in February with a tropical vacation and a Bentley gift from Thompson, gestures that now appear strained in retrospect.
Professionally, the breakup arrives at a difficult juncture for Thompson. He endured what analysts described as arguably the worst season of his career with the Mavericks in 2025-26, failing to reach the playoffs and facing heightened scrutiny over his performance and off-court focus. Under contract with Dallas for one more season at $17.5 million, questions linger about his future in the league, though retirement remains uncertain.

The situation quickly drew commentary from Megan’s past. Pardison Fontaine, her ex-boyfriend from 2021 to 2023, posted a non-instrumental cover of Jagged Edge’s 1999 song “He Can’t Love U” on Instagram shortly after the breakup announcement. In the video, he sang, “You should never wanna be with a man if he can’t be a man and do the things to you like I can,” and declared, “I’m telling you, he can’t love you like I love you.” Fans interpreted the timing as a veiled attempt to rekindle interest, with comments like “He want her back” and “Get ya girl back” flooding the post. Fontaine’s representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
Fontaine’s history with Megan adds complexity to the moment. The couple dated from February 2021 until their split in 2023, a period Megan later reflected on in her single “Cobra,” which addresses infidelity. Fontaine has previously denied cheating allegations, telling Angela Yee’s “Lip Service” podcast that while hiding texts was “inappropriate,” he did not consider it infidelity in the traditional sense.
Meanwhile, unrelated rumors attempting to link WNBA player Lexie Brown to Thompson surfaced online following the breakup, prompting Brown to shut down the speculation directly. She clarified there was no connection between her and Thompson, emphasizing the baseless nature of the claims amid the swirl of celebrity gossip.
