Recently, Klay Thompson was involved in a brief romantic relationship with actress Laura Harrier, during which he was heavily featured in the media. What then is the real story behind their relationship?

Updated by Leo Morgenstern on February 8, 2022: Laura Harrier and Klay Thompson had an intermittent relationship for a time, but it seems that they have been totally separated for the last several years. According to some reports, Laura Harrier seemed to move on the same summer that Thompson began seeing model Paige Carmen. However, Klay Thompson’s teammate Jordan Poole has lately brought attention to the romance between Thompson and Laura Harrier. In 2019, Poole inquired whether Harrier and Thompson would go on a double date with him and Zendaya after making a remark on a photo of the two of them. The only problem was that Jordan Poole was expecting Laura Harrier could introduce him to her co-star from Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Zendaya was not the real couple. Although this whole debate took place in 2019, Poole’s statement became viral once again after some followers on the internet just found it.

It is said that he has dated a number of Instagram models and actors. He dated Hannah Stockings, a model, for about a year in 2015.

Cheerleader Cherise Sandra was thought to be dating him at the time, but the stunning woman denied it. when that, he was connected to basketball star Tiffany Suarez when they were seen out to dinner. All of these romantic relationships took place in 2015.
