Kevin Durant opened up about his views on marriage and relationships in a recent episode of Bobbi Althoff’s podcast, Not This Again. The NBA star, 37, expressed that he does not want to get married and prefers keeping relationships free of heavy expectations.
Durant highlighted divorce as a realistic outcome, making marriage less appealing to him. He said,
“I think divorce is actually more of a realistic… ‘cause I mean, the percent is higher.”
Althoff noted that about 50% of marriages end in divorce. Durant responded,
“That's not good odds.”
However, when comparing other risks he faces as a basketball player, Durant added,
“Yeah. But still, that's like banking on the rest, like, forever though. … I don't know if I want to take those odds.”
Durant questioned the nature of spending every day with someone long-term:
“Do I want to be with this somebody every day? Hang with the same person every day?”
He also revealed he never envisioned having a traditional wedding ceremony, explaining,
“I never really dreamt of having a wedding day. It was never really when I go to weddings. This is cool.”
Kevin Durant is candid about avoiding marriage, prioritizing flexible relationships over traditional lifelong commitments and ceremonies.
