Talking back about her dog, Lexi Thompson adopted Leo in 2018 while visiting a pet store in Florida, where she had first planned to volunteer.

Lexi Thompson was struggling with some mental health concerns in 2018, and at that time, she even took a step back from professional golf and withdrew from the 2018 British Open, one of the LPGA Tour's major tournaments. The same year she adopted Leo, and later she revealed in an interview with Golf Monthly that her dog and family saved her life when she was struggling with her mental health.

According to Golf Monthly, Thompson stated,

"When I'm home, I love hanging out with my family and friends, but when I'm on the road, I go back and hang out with my dog. He is my best friend, and he saved my life, and he's just amazing, so I'm very grateful that he came into my life."

The American golfer also remarked that her dog loves her regardless of how she performs on the golf course. She added:

"No matter what I shoot, this guy is giving me kisses no matter what."

Following the 2024 season, Lexi Thompson took a step back from professional golf. Thompson stated in the announcement that she does not want a demanding schedule going forward and that, while she will not play the entire year, she will participate in some big tournaments.
