Kevin Durant is an American professional basketball player that has a pretty impressive career; setting NBA records and achieving accolades like Olympics MVP in 2020 helped to establish him as an iconic player. Success has been a consistent fixture during Durant’s time in the spotlight since he was picked as the second overall pick in the 2007 NBA draft. Yet fame has brought other things to the forefront too, as it does for many professional athletes, including his dating life.
There have been rumors over the years about flirtations with other famous figures, but rarely have fans seen the 36-year-old showing public displays of affection. Although Durant does not have a reputation of being a player off the court, people are still curious about the power forward’s personal life. Here’s what we know about his romantic relationships, past and present.
Olympian Was Previously Engaged to WNBA Player Monica Wright
Kevin Durant may be laying low in terms of love nowadays, but he has not always been so private. Back in the day he was engaged to another WNBA star – Monica Wright – a former player for the Minnesota Lynx. This was his last confirmed public relationship; Durant proposed to her in 2013 but they ended up calling the engagement off the next year. Although the couple called it quits, they have both acknowledged that they just simply were not the best match. On one hand, the MVP’s apparent lack of dating may be a sign that he is still healing. It may also signal that he is just private now following his very public breakup.
After Denying Angel Reese Rumors, Kevin Durant Seems To Be Single in 2025
From what the public can tell, Kevin Durant is single and has been for quite some time. Unlike many of his NBA contemporaries, the East Coast native has never married or had children. He does not say much about his decision to stay single but seems content to focus on his career and making money moves. It’s worth noting that much of the talk about Durant’s dating life comes from rumors or assumptions and not directly from him.
One of the most recent conclusions that people on social media have come up with involves an unexpected athlete. Angel Reese, a notable WNBA player for the Chicago Sky, has been rumored to be involved with Durant. Now this assumption was made based off of a single picture of the two sitting next to each other while watching a game in London. This occurred in July 2024 when Reese was only 22 in comparison to Durant, aged 35. She wasted no time squashing the rumors about the two being involved, so things have died down since then. But this incident makes it clear that fans really want Durant to find love.
Regardless of His Relationship Status, NBA Icon Shines in Netflix’s ‘Court of Gold’ Docu-Series
Despite Durant’s seemingly stagnant dating life, he is still very active in his career. He stars in a new Netflix six-part series about men‘s basketball medal contenders for the 2024 Olympic Games, Court of Gold. The recent release follows teams from all over the world, fans and even hopeful singles can get a glimpse of Durant’s soft side.
During the summer games he became the all-time leading Olympic scorer for team USA but also took a moment to reflect on his love for the game. At the end of episode two, Durant opens up to express, “When people get to start laughing and joking for the game of ball, it’s cool to me, so it gets me emotional. It’s crazy to see somebody say they traveled so long to come see their favorite player play in the Olympics. They spend their money, they bring their whole family… It’s just dope to me.” So despite any speculation about Durant’s love life, his love for basketball has been sustained throughout the years.
