Kevin Durant Speaks on Marriage and Expectations
NBA star Kevin Durant shared honest thoughts about relationships and marriage, explaining why he prefers to avoid tying the knot. During an appearance on Bobbi Althoff’s podcast Not This Again on October 30, Durant expressed that he isn't currently seeking a relationship and does not see marriage in his future.
“I think divorce is actually more of a realistic… ‘cause I mean, the percent is higher,” Durant said after Althoff mentioned that about 50% of marriages end in divorce.
Durant, who plays for the Houston Rockets, reflected on the odds of a lasting marriage, comparing them to chances he takes in basketball.
“Yeah. But still, that's like banking on the rest, like, forever though. … I don't know if I want to take those odds.”
He explained that his hesitation is less about the concept of marriage itself and more about what it represents in daily life.
“It's just like the word ‘marriage’ that I get, but it's more so like what that relationship is like,” he said. “Do I want to be with this somebody every day? Hang with the same person every day?”
Durant also admitted he never pictured himself having a wedding or planning such an event.
“I never really dreamt of having a wedding day,” Durant told Althoff. “It was never really when I go to weddings. This is cool.”
