For weeks, fans have been buzzing about Klay Thompson and his bae Megan Thee Stallion. Now, the spotlight turns to someone whose opinion carries serious weight: Klay’s dad, Mychal Thompson. One thing is clear — when it comes to the rapper, this family patriarch has firmly made up his mind.

Klay’s Dad Officially Stans Hot Girl Chef Megan
Cameras caught up with Mychal Thompson, father of two-time NBA champion Klay Thompson, and he couldn’t stop raving about Megan Thee Stallion — calling her a “very nice lady” and giving her cooking skills a glowing seal of approval. When asked about her signature dish, Mychal didn’t hesitate: her barbecue baked beans are, in his words, “the best I ever had in my life.” So, he is clearly serious about her kitchen game and even said, “Nobody could ever cook as good as my mother, but man, Megan is a chef,” he added.
Of course, fans immediately wondered if this parental praise could foreshadow a proposal. When asked whether Klay might put a ring on it, the elder Thompson diplomatically said, “I don’t know, it’s up to them, gotta ask them that.” Still, it seems clear he’s fully on board, calling Megan a “very lovely lady” and making it official that she’s already got family approval — and maybe a future spot in the Thompson cookbook.

Megan’s Cooking Has Klay And Pops Impressed
On Saturday, Megan Thee Stallion took to social media to share a super cute video of her cooking for her basketball bae and his dad. In the clip, Meg is cheffin’ it up in black PJs, a headband, and a full beat, keeping it cozy but still camera-ready. She explains that Mychal was in town while Klay’s Dallas Mavericks were playing the LA Lakers, and since she was caught off guard by the visit, she wanted to show some serious Southern hospitality—cooking up chicken thighs, her famous baked beans, potato salad, and cornbread.
Klay even makes a cameo, giving Megan some love, before Mychal tries her boudin for the first time and showers her with praise, even joking that she should “retire” and open a cooking school. At one point, Mychal can be heard joking, “You gone be fat when y’all get married!” And, of course, the comment section had thoughts on that “retire” line—because sirrrr… fans were NOT here for it.
