Kevin Durant responds to ‘heartbreak’ rumors in rare delve into personal life

Kevin Durant got a bit candid while discussing his personal life, which isn’t something the Suns star does often, if at all.

Durant, 35, explained his stance on relationships and heartbreak during the latest installment of Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast — and talked about seeing “baddies” at his NBA games.

It began when co-host Mike Majlak asked Durant why he’s currently single.

“Because I don’t want a girlfriend,” Durant said during the interview, which was filmed before Paul and girlfriend Nina Agdal’s pregnancy announcement in April. “I have my moments … and times.” 

iShowSpeed — a YouTube personality and streamer, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr. — was also on the show and chimed in.

“I feel like you got your heart broken one time and that just really f–ked you up,” he said to Durant.

“I wouldn’t say I’ve had my heart broken. I would say I started to understand women as I got older,” the two-time NBA champ responded. “… Early on I understood, she’s not mine. Even if she may be my girlfriend, she might be influenced by other people … I don’t trip on that relationship. If we having a good time for a moment then cool and if you end up venturing off and I do too, it is what it is.”

However, iShowSpeed doubled down on his previous comment.

“Every time I explain my stance to people, they say s–t like this, ‘Man, bro, you’ve just been hurt,’” Durant said. “Bro, I enjoy spending time with — it’s just maybe not as long as you like to spend with people. A couple days for me is cool.”

Durant also denied that he posted a list of reasons why he is single on his Instagram Story in March.

“You think I really wrote that down? That was a fake account,” Durant said when asked about the rumored list. “I am way too playa to write some s–t down like that. Hell no.”

Later in the conversation, Durant was asked if he ever gets distracted by celebrities or hecklers at his games.

“I wouldn’t say distracted but I do acknowledge them sometimes, especially if there’s baddies in the stands, for sure,” Durant said. “If there’s celebs around the floor, you definitely want to see who it is and see if you can politic. 

“When Rihanna walks in, it’s hard not to notice her. Just all the baddies, bro.”

Durant is fairly private about his personal life.

The NBA star got engaged to former Lynx star Monica Wright in 2013, after they reportedly met in 2006 at a high school all-star game — but they called it off shortly after.

“Yeah, in my last relationship [with NBA All-Star Kevin Durant], I had to make a decision about compromising myself as a woman,” Wright said in 2014, per Essence. “I had to make a decision to leave a relationship, which a lot of people thought I was crazy to leave. There was a lot of criticism over it. But I think God had my back in it.”

In a Jan. 2015 profile about Durant, GQ wrote that Durant’s heart was “still not quite right after hurting someone he loved.”

“I had a fiancée, but…I really didn’t know how to, like, love her, you know what I’m saying? We just went our separate ways,” Durant told the publication at the time.
