Los Angeles, California — Just when the internet thought it had seen every twist in the saga of Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion, a new voice has entered the conversation — and it’s one that knows the NBA star better than most.
Carleen Henry, a woman once quietly linked to Thompson during his final season with the Golden State Warriors, has broken her silence. In a candid new interview with The Daily Sphere, Henry shared details about their brief but intense romance — and how it ended the moment she wanted to make it official.
“He broke up with me because I wanted to go public,” Henry revealed, her tone a mix of disappointment and calm acceptance. “He told me he wasn’t ready for attention — that he valued his privacy and wanted to keep things between us. I respected that at the time. But seeing him now? Seeing how open he is with her? That hurt.”
According to Henry, she and Klay dated quietly for nearly seven months, often spending time at his Bay Area home or traveling under the radar to avoid paparazzi. “He was funny, grounded, and very particular about who knew what,” she said. “I didn’t mind the secrecy at first, but after a while, it felt like I was being hidden.”
Her comments have set social media ablaze, especially given Thompson’s newfound openness with Megan Thee Stallion, whose relationship with the Dallas Mavericks guard has been one of the most talked-about pairings in both sports and entertainment.
Henry, however, insists she’s not bitter. “Look, Megan’s a powerhouse,” she admitted. “She lives in the spotlight. Maybe that’s what he wants now — someone who thrives in it. I was the quiet type. I like dinners at home, not cameras in my face.”
Still, she couldn’t resist offering a pointed prediction about her ex’s headline-grabbing romance.
“It’s passionate, sure,” she said with a wry smile. “But passion fades when the noise gets too loud. I give them… six months, maybe less. Klay’s heart is big, but he doesn’t do chaos for long.”
Those words have sparked a wave of reactions from fans and insiders alike. Some call Henry “graceful and honest,” while others accuse her of jealousy disguised as reflection. Regardless, the story has reignited debate about Klay’s complicated love life — and whether fame has changed him more than anyone realized.
NBA commentators have also weighed in. One unnamed source close to the Mavericks organization noted, “Klay’s always been private — almost guarded. The fact that he’s this public with Megan says something. Either he’s completely in love, or he’s trying to prove something.”
As for Henry, she says she’s moved on, focusing on her work in interior design and “learning to find peace outside of someone else’s spotlight.” But she ended her interview with a line that’s already been quoted across social media:
“He used to say he didn’t want the world in his relationship. Now the world is watching — and I hope, for his sake, it’s worth it.”
With Megan and Klay continuing to dominate headlines, one thing is certain: this love story isn’t just playing out courtside — it’s unfolding center stage, under the brightest lights imaginable.
