Kevin Durant remains one of the most accomplished players in NBA history. Now with the Houston Rockets at 37 years old, Durant continues to perform at an elite level. But while his basketball résumé is stacked with championships, MVP honors, and scoring titles, his personal life has followed a different path.
Is Kevin Durant currently dating?
As of early 2026, Durant is not married and is not publicly in a relationship. By his own admission, he is single, and that appears to be by choice.
In late 2025, he openly discussed his views on relationships during an appearance on the Not This Again podcast with Bobbi Althoff.
Durant made it clear he is not actively looking for a girlfriend and does not feel pressure to get married. He explained that he prefers relationships without labels or expectations, emphasizing friendship and personal freedom over traditional commitments.
He even admitted that he had never envisioned a wedding day for himself. While he did not completely rule out marriage in the future, he said it is not something he expects or plans for.
In short, Durant appears content focusing on basketball and maintaining a low-key, private lifestyle.
Kevin Durant’s past engagement to Monica Wright
Durant’s most serious public relationship was with former WNBA player Monica Wright.
The two first met at the 2006 McDonald’s All-American Game and later reconnected around 2011–2012 while both were playing professionally. It was when Durant was with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Wright played for the Minnesota Lynx. Their relationship became public, and in July 2013, they announced their engagement. However, the engagement ended in 2014.
In a 2015 interview with GQ, Durant said he “didn’t know how to love her the right way.” Wright later cited differences in values and the importance of not compromising herself as key reasons for the split.
Wright has since married Michael Rogers, while Durant has remained unmarried.
Rumored relationships over the years
Following his breakup with Wright, Durant has been linked to several high-profile names, though none were confirmed as long-term relationships.
Among those he has been rumored to have dated:
- Teyana Taylor
- LeToya Luckett
- Apryl Jones
- Crystal Renée
- Lana Rhoades
- Brittney Elena
- Liz Cambage
In 2021, Rhoades publicly described going on a date with an unnamed NBA player widely believed to be Durant, but there was no confirmation of an ongoing relationship. Other rumors, including online speculation about paternity claims, have never been substantiated.
Durant has largely avoided addressing gossip and maintains a private stance regarding his personal life.
KD is “married” to the game
Throughout his career, Durant has often joked that he is “married to the game.” That mindset still appears to define him.
He has spoken candidly about prioritizing basketball, personal growth, and independence over traditional relationship expectations. Given his upbringing, raised primarily by his mother, Wanda, whom he famously called “the real MVP” during his 2014 MVP speech, Durant has frequently emphasized loyalty to family and career above all else.
For now, Kevin Durant is single, focused, and fully invested in basketball. And unless he decides to make a major personal announcement, that appears unlikely to change anytime soon.
