Megan Thee Stallion didn’t plan on entering her "Lover Girl" era — it found her.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE tied to a new partnership with Dunkin', the three-time Grammy winner, 30, reflected on her relationship with Dallas Mavericks player Klay Thompson, 36, and admitted she didn’t see it coming.
“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,” says the "HISS" rapper, who' made her red carpet debut with Thompson on her arm in July 2025. “I didn't even know I was going to be in my relationship, to be honest.”

Instead, Megan explains that love arrived after on time: when she shifted her focus inward and on her self-love and mental health.
“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 recalls. "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’s experiencing a new kind of ease.
“This is one of the first times that I've ever been just overly comfortable,” Megan shares with her signature giggle: “I'm comfy, babe!”
The award-winning rapper-turned-entrepreneur and four-time NBA champion welcomed the world to their relationship at her Inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City. When asked about Thompson at the event, Megan spoke to PEOPLE at the time and called him the "nicest person I've ever met in my life."

Along with letting the hotties into her beautifully fllourishing relationship with Thompson, Megan has been vocal about her wellness journey, which also led to her partnership with Dunkin’ for the launch of its new Protein Milk and Protein Refreshers, including her custom Mango Protein Refresher.
“To be honest, when I started my health and fitness journey, I just dove in,” she says. “I didn't really know too much about the health side of working out, the nutrition side of it. So once I started figuring out, okay, girl, if you really want to see some results, some differences in your body when you're trying to get toned and all that good stuff, you need to be eating and drinking some protein.”

That mindset made teaming up with Dunkin’ feel natural. She went on to say that once she started incorporating protein into daily fitness routine, she felt more confident to "tell the people a little bit about protein," calling the partnership "an easy layup.”
Protein, she says, has been essential to staying energized for long days in both the studio and the gym — something she and Thompson reportedly bond over. The couple have been spotted working out together, and Megan has embraced what she calls her “gym and the studio” routine.
“I'll be in the gym and the studio, the gym and the studio,” she says of her 2026 focus.
Still, Megan is clear that, unlike her many business ventures, including opening a Popeyes location in Miami and lauching a tequila brand, Chicas Divertidas, love shouldn’t be chased.
“I think people got to stop trying to be in love and trying to chase love," muses the star. "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.”
As she balances romance, business deals and new music on the way — “I'm definitely completing act three and the music is dropping this year,” she teases, following her 2024 self-titled album and 2025's HISS — Megan is entering 2026 with a simple mantra: “Disciplined.”
