Megan Thee Stallion has recently expressed her hopes of soon walking down the aisle during a discussion with Olympic stars Brittany Bowe and Hilary Knight. The conversation, featured in a YouTube short, took place following the engagement announcement of the two athletes, who both represent Team USA. The chat unfolded in a Milan restaurant, coinciding with the conclusion of the recent Winter Olympics.

The 31-year-old rapper congratulated Bowe, a member of the speed skating team, and Knight, the captain of the USA women’s hockey team, upon hearing their joyous news. The couple revealed their engagement on social media, captivating fans with the heartfelt moment that Knight proposed to Bowe during the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Megan embraced the occasion with enthusiasm, commenting, “I love love, that’s so sweet,” while playfully crossing her fingers in support of love.
In a lighthearted exchange, the trio rhythmically joined in the act of crossing their fingers, with Megan sharing her own aspiration for a future engagement. “I’m manifesting my engagement too,” she proclaimed, showcasing her excitement and support for love in all forms. The video encapsulated a candid moment of joy and camaraderie among the women amidst their respective careers.
Megan has openly discussed her personal experiences with love and relationships, which she described as entering her “comfy” era. In an interview conducted just last month with PEOPLE, she elaborated on her relationship with Dallas Mavericks player Klay Thompson, aged 36. During her reflections, she advised against people rushing into relationships simply because they see others doing the same.
Speaking on her evolving relationship, Megan revealed that she had not anticipated her current romantic involvement. “I didn’t even know I was going to be in my relationship, to be honest,” she admitted. This shift in perspective, she noted, came as a result of focusing on self-love and mental health. Megan engaged in therapy and various self-care activities, leading her to believe that these efforts paved the way for a loving partner to enter her life.
Her admission reflects a deeper understanding of her journey in the realm of love, illustrating how personal growth can open doors to new relationships. “Maybe God just opened up that space for me to have somebody that loves me right,” she remarked, highlighting the importance of self-fulfilment before seeking companionship.
This desire for marriage, while new in the public eye, is not entirely foreign to Megan. As early as 2011, she expressed aspirations on social media to marry an athlete, potentially hinting at those future dreams with phrases like, “maybe a football player… but most likely a basketball player.” It appears the rapper’s childhood hopes may be inching closer to reality.
Megan’s relationship with Klay Thompson has gained attention since their red carpet debut together in July 2022. At an event in New York City – her Inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala – she openly praised Thompson, calling him “the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.” Her warm sentiment reflects not only her affection for him but also the comfort and joy she finds in their connection.
As Megan continues to embrace her happy disposition, her friends in the sports community remain a source of inspiration. With Bowe and Knight embarking on their journey to marriage, it seems Megan’s own hopes for a future engagement may not be far behind. The camaraderie displayed in Milan not only illustrates the mutual admiration among these women but also encapsulates the joyful spirit of love and ambition that characterises their lives as public figures navigating personal milestones.
