Kevin Durant Names Angel Reese His Favorite Female Athlete—Fans Spark Dating Rumors Again!
Kevin Durant just set the internet on fire—again.
When the Phoenix Suns’ social media team asked players to name their favorite female athlete in honor of Women’s History Month, most went with legends like Diana Taurasi, Serena Williams, and Lindsey Vonn. But KD? He confidently picked Chicago Sky star Angel Reese—and the internet immediately went into a frenzy.
Fans Revive Old Dating Rumors
The moment Durant’s answer hit social media, fans wasted no time stirring the pot:
- “We know what KD on.”
- “KD knew exactly what he was doing.”
- “So the rumors ARE true!”
- And the best one? “KD shootin’ his shot and Angel gonna grab that board and put it back up… then grab that board and put it back up… then grab that board and kick it out.”
Jokes aside, there’s actually no real evidence that Durant and Reese are romantically involved. But this isn’t the first time fans have speculated about them.
Where Did the Kevin Durant-Angel Reese Rumors Start?
The dating gossip originally surfaced in July 2024, when Durant and Reese were spotted sitting courtside together during Team USA Women’s Basketball vs. Team Germany. The sighting immediately sparked rumors, but Reese later shut them down on her podcast, Unapologetically Angel.
She explained that she wasn’t there alone with Durant—she was with a friend, and KD came with Steph Curry.
Her exact words? “We were never a thing.”
But… Does KD Fit Angel Reese’s ‘Type’?
While Reese has denied the rumors, she has previously stated that she wants to date someone taller than her and who can keep up with her lifestyle.
And well… Durant is 6’11’’, an NBA superstar, and one of the biggest names in basketball. So, naturally, the internet continues to connect the dots.
KD and Reese: Just Friends or Something More?
At the end of the day, there’s nothing solid suggesting a romantic relationship between Kevin Durant and Angel Reese. But social media never lets a good rumor die, and KD’s latest comment has only fueled the fire.
Whether it’s just admiration or something more, one thing’s for sure—Kevin Durant is a big Angel Reese fan.
