Kevin Durant, the 37-year-old NBA star, expressed that he does not want to get married due to the high risk of divorce, describing it as a more "realistic" outcome. Speaking candidly on Bobbi Althoff’s podcast Not This Again on October 30, Durant revealed he is not currently seeking a relationship and has no plans for a wedding.
Durant emphasized the uncertainty of lifelong commitment, questioning the idea of wanting to be with the same person every day. He said,
“Do I want to be with this somebody every day? Hang with the same person every day?”
Regarding marriage, he stated,
“I think divorce is actually more of a realistic… ‘cause I mean, the percent is higher.”
He acknowledged the high divorce rate but contrasted it with the odds faced in basketball, explaining,
“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 also shared that he has never dreamed of having a wedding day, noting that attending weddings has never strongly inspired him. He told Althoff,
“I never really dreamt of having a wedding day. It was never really when I go to weddings. This is cool.”
Kevin Durant prefers relationships without heavy expectations and is skeptical about marriage due to the realistic chance of divorce and his personal doubts about long-term commitment.
