Kevin Durant Opens Up About His Views on Marriage
NBA star Kevin Durant revealed in an interview that he is not interested in marriage, describing divorce as a more realistic outcome than everlasting commitment. Speaking on Bobbi Althoff’s podcast, Not This Again, the 37-year-old Houston Rockets forward was candid about his personal life and relationship choices.
“I think divorce is actually more of a realistic… ’cause I mean, the percent is higher,”
Durant reflected on divorce statistics after Althoff mentioned that nearly half of all marriages end that way. He commented on the odds, saying they weren’t favorable enough for him to consider marriage seriously.
“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, who said he isn't actively seeking a relationship, explained that his view isn’t about rejecting love but about limiting expectations within it.
“It's just like the word ‘marriage’ that I get, but it's more so like what that relationship is like. Do I want to be with this somebody every day? Hang with the same person every day?”
He added that he never dreamt of a wedding day or imagined himself walking down the aisle, noting that he enjoys weddings but never envisioned one for himself.
“I never really dreamt of having a wedding day. It was never really when I go to weddings. This is cool.”
