Kevin Durant Doesn’t Want to Get Married, Prefers 'No Expectations': 'Sometimes I Might Not Want to Talk to You or See You'

Kevin Durant Doesn’t Want to Get Married, Prefers Low-Expectation Relationships

Kevin Durant opened up about his personal views on marriage and relationships during an episode of Bobbi Althoff’s podcast Not This Again. The 37-year-old NBA player shared that marriage does not appeal to him because he sees divorce as a more realistic outcome.

“I think divorce is actually more realistic… 'cause I mean, the percent is higher,” Durant said, after Althoff noted that about half of all marriages end in divorce.

Despite facing long odds on the basketball court, Durant told the host that he isn’t comfortable taking lifelong chances when it comes to love.

“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 explained that what matters to him is not the concept of marriage but the nature of the relationship itself.

“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 imagined himself walking down the aisle.

“I never really dreamt of having a wedding day. It was never really when I go to weddings. This is cool.”

Summary

Kevin Durant admits he prefers connections with minimal expectations and avoids marriage due to his belief that long-term commitment carries unrealistic odds.
