Basketball superstar Kevin Durant, a top NBA player, made headlines in July 2024 for a Grade 1 strain of his left calf during training camp ahead of his 2024 Olympic debut, according to The New York Times. He’s also caught attention for his past and rumored present romantic relationships.
After a photo surfaced of Kevin sitting beside Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese, speculation about them dating quickly spread. Are the rumors true? Here’s what we know about Kevin’s current dating status and a look into his dating history.
Who is Kevin Durant's girlfriend now?
These days, it appears Kevin Durant is single. His last public relationship was with WNBA player Monica Wright. Kevin had proposed in 2013, but they eventually went their “separate ways.” In a 2015 interview with GQ, he admitted, “I really didn’t know how to, like, love her, you know what I’m saying? I didn’t love her the right way.”
But in July 2024, the rumor mill began churning, suggesting Kevin is dating Angel. The rumor stems from a photo of the two sitting beside each other courtside during a basketball match in London. X user @HoopMixOnly shared the photo, writing, “It’s been rumored that Kevin Durant & Angel Reese are officially dating. Congratulations to them.”
However, the two didn’t appear particularly close in the photo and seemed to be maintaining their personal space (as best as they could). While neither has confirmed the rumored romance, it would seem odd, but not out of the ordinary, for the two to date given their ages. Kevin is 35, while Angel is only 22, reflecting a 13-year age difference.
With the post came a lot of criticisms. One X user wrote, "This account always spreads the most unbelievable rumors," while another chimed in, "Should be ashamed of yourself. You know that ain’t true."
Did Lana Rhoades and Kevin Durant date?
On June 7, 2021, Lana raised eyebrows during her 3 Girls 1 Kitchen podcast when she opened up about her dating life. The influencer revealed that she went on a date with a player for the Brooklyn Nets; however, she did not specifically name the basketball star.
But, fans were quick to uncover the identity of the mystery NBA star after Lana revealed that the Brooklyn Nets player is also a Libra.
Well, for the Nancy Drew-esque fans out there who love a good case to solve, it's been pointed out that KD is apparently the only player on the team who is a Libra.
However, it seems their reported romance was short-lived. Lana explained that the basketball player who asked her out was "boring" and wasn't "spicy enough."
Additionally, the podcast host explained that the professional athlete even brought another woman on their date as a "backup." Yikes!
At this time, KD has not confirmed if he is the mystery player from Lana's story. But, fans couldn't help but comment on their supposed romance.
"Kevin Durant bringing a backup girl on his date with Lana Rhoades has gotta be the most savage s--t I’ve seen all year," one Twitter user posted. Another commented, "Kevin Durant brings Lana Rhodes on a date and brings his f--k buddy of 10 years with them just in case Lana isn’t down to smash."
Other users speculated that Kevin is the father of Lana's baby.
"What if Kevin Durant is Lana [Rhoades'] baby daddy," commented this fan.
This person posted, "Calling it right now. Kevin Durant is the father to Lana Rhoades kid."
Lana confirmed the pregnancy news on June 1, 2021, but did not name the father of her unborn child. Fans also speculated that the social media star might share the baby with ex-boyfriend Mike Majlak after the two were on and off for a few years before officially calling it quits in February 2021.
However, the Impaulsive podcast host told listeners that he is not the father. To this day, we still don't know who Lana's baby daddy is.
