A Journey to Self-Love and Unexpected Romance

Megan Thee Stallion recently shared her perspective on finding love in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, emphasizing that she wasn’t actively seeking a relationship when Klay Thompson entered her life. “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,” she explained. “I didn’t even know I was going to be in my relationship, to be honest.”

The rapper attributes her readiness for love to the dedicated self-work she undertook. “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 shared. “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.” This emphasis on inner healing highlights a shift in perspective, prioritizing personal well-being as a foundation for a healthy relationship.

Megan describes the connection with Thompson as uniquely comfortable. “This is one of the first times that I’ve ever been just overly comfortable,” she confessed. “I’m comfy, babe!” This sense of ease and security marks a departure from past experiences, suggesting a deeper level of trust and emotional intimacy.

She also offered advice to her devoted fanbase, the “Hotties,” urging them to relinquish the pursuit of love and allow it to unfold naturally. “I think people got to stop trying to be in love and trying to chase love,” Megan shared. “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.”
