WNBA star Angel Reese has encountered her share of breakups and public scrutiny. This time, as a little sister, she stood by Megan Thee Stallion after the Grammy Award-winning artist announced her split from Dallas Mavericks player Klay Thompson. The two of them were the talk of the town last year as ‘the ideal power couple’. But recently, allegations of cheating surfaced against the sharpshooter, reportedly involving a Seattle Storm guard. And despite the challenging last few hours, Megan took to the stage and, at the end, couldn’t keep her tears in check.

The music artist was on stage for Moulin Rouge! The Musical, on Broadway, and it was her first performance after the split. Megan performed as Zidler in New York City and turned emotional, appearing to tear up during the curtain call. Her fans applauded her, giving her confidence, and one fan who recorded the moment kept cheering, “We love you.” Angel Reese shared this video on X and showed her support for Stallion.

“It’s the way you show up even while carrying so much—that’s what makes you THAT girl. You always have a little sister riding for you at dawn. I love you, sister,” Reese wrote. Public support will mean a lot to Megan, as it was on April 25, 2026, that she announced her split, stating that a lack of “trust, fidelity, and respect” was the catalyst for their breakup.

Even Klay Thompson’s father, Mychal, gave his approval for their relationship. In fact, during Thanksgiving, he proudly revealed that Megan was cooking the entire feast for the family. Those posts are archived now. It was in December 2025 when the Houston rapper was accused of cheating on the four-time NBA champion. At the time, the rumors proved to be groundless, and the couple was going strong. But this Saturday was the last straw, and seemingly a definitive end to this whirlwind romance. Amid their breakup, WNBA guard Lexie Brown found her name unexpectedly tangled in it.

Many speculated that she was the WNBA player that Klay was cheating on Stallion with. Thompson had unfollowed Lexie Brown, but she gave her statement without naming the former couple. “I’ve seen what’s been said online, and I want to be clear, none of it is true and I have no involvement in this situation,” Brown wrote on Instagram. “This new week marks the start of an important and exciting new season for me, and my focus is fully on that.”

Brown is preparing for a new season with the Seattle Storm, a significant time in her career. She suffered through Crohn’s disease over the last couple of years and only found herself fully fit for this season. Neither Klay nor Megan involved Brown’s name directly. That’s why even the WNBA star did the same with her statement, to ensure there were no negative reactions.

Megan Thee Stallion’s official statement on Klay Thompson’s split

Klay Thompson soft-launched their relationship through a sneaky Instagram carousel on July 12. At the Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City, the couple made a formal appearance on July 16. Since then, they started uploading videos of working out together and even golfing. She was at the season-opener against the Spurs when she gifted Captain Klay a nautical-themed necklace, also coinciding with her single, “Lover Girl,” reportedly an ode to Klay.

“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet,’” Megan wrote on Instagram. “Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season, now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous????’ ” She closed the post with “B—- I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall.” To leave no doubt and end any speculation about reconciliation, she even issued an official statement to the media.

“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” Megan said. “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 concluded by stating that she would need this time to prioritize herself and move ahead with peace and clarity. Klay has not responded to the cheating allegations or the breakup. The split marks the end of one of 2026’s most talked-about celebrity pairings.
