Kevin Durant Shares His Views on Marriage and Relationships
Kevin Durant, the 37-year-old NBA star, opened up about his stance on marriage and personal relationships during a recent interview on Bobbi Althoff’s podcast, Not This Again.
No Plans to Marry
Durant revealed he is not interested in getting married, citing divorce as a more "realistic" outcome. He expressed concern over the high likelihood of divorce, explaining why he prefers relationships with fewer expectations.
“I think divorce is actually more of a realistic… ‘cause I mean, the percent is higher,” Kevin Durant said.
When told that 50% of marriages end in divorce, Durant responded,
“That's not good odds.”
Despite frequently facing challenging odds in basketball, Durant explained why marriage is different for him:
“Yeah. But still, that's like banking on the rest, like, forever though… I don't know if I want to take those odds.”
Relationship Expectations
Durant clarified that his hesitation toward marriage is less about the ceremony and more about the nature of daily companionship.
“Do I want to be with this somebody every day? Hang with the same person every day?”
He also shared that he never envisioned himself having a traditional wedding day. The idea of the ceremony has never held significant appeal for him.
“I never really dreamt of having a wedding day. It was never really when I go to weddings. This is cool.”
Summary
Kevin Durant prefers low-expectation relationships over marriage due to the high divorce rate and lack of desire for lifelong daily companionship or a formal wedding.
