Kevin Durant has once again sparked speculation about his relationship with WNBA star Angel Reese. During a recent Phoenix Suns team video, Durant named Reese as his favorite female athlete without hesitation.

This isn’t the first time rumors have swirled around Durant and Reese. In August, the two were spotted sitting courtside together at a Team USA women’s basketball exhibition game, triggering initial dating speculation. Reese previously addressed these rumors on her show “Unapologetically Angel,” firmly stating, “No, that was never a thing.”
Both athletes share connections beyond basketball. They hail from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area (DMV), and Reese has expressed her longtime admiration for Durant, calling him her “favorite player since I was literally a kid.” She’s also mentioned appreciating Durant’s mother, who regularly attends games.
While fans continue to make connections between the two stars, Reese has previously discussed having specific standards for potential romantic partners. Despite Durant potentially meeting these criteria, available information suggests their relationship remains professional and friendly.
The Phoenix Suns video showed other players primarily naming Diana Taurasi, the recently retired Phoenix Mercury legend, as their favorite female athlete. Durant’s different answer stood out to viewers and fueled the ongoing speculation.
Social media reactions to Durant’s comment have been playful and suggestive:
- “KD knew what he was doing”
- “KD on the all time scoring list for a reason”
The interaction highlights the intense public interest in athletes’ personal lives, particularly when two prominent figures from men’s and women’s basketball appear to share a connection.
