Kevin Durant‘s recent playful interaction with Kay Adams on Up & Adams has led fans to speculate about the nature of their relationship.

During an interview before the Lakers vs. Suns game, Durant made a flirtatious remark towards the host.

“Cause I’m seeing you, I’m smiling,” Durant stated.

It was a comment which had viewers questioning if there’s more than friendship between the two. The chemistry between them was evident, with both laughing and smiling throughout the conversation, leading fans to have even more reason to believe there is a potential romance there.

What is Kevin Durant’s relationship status?

Durant has a history of high-profile relationships, including an engagement to former WNBA player Monica Wright, which ended after a year.

He is currently understood to be single, although rumors have also linked him to Angel Reese and Cassandra Anderson, though none of these have been confirmed by either party.

Given the focus that a career in professional sports requires, it makes sense that Durant will be single, especially after having moved around a lot in recent years.

He left California to move to Brooklyn and then signed with the Phoenix Suns, uprooting his life once again.

With his flirtatious banter with Adams, fans are left wondering if Durant is starting a new chapter in his love life.

Could there be more behind their playful exchanges, or is it just friendly banter? The attention from fans suggests that this may be a relationship worth watching.

It also wouldn’t be the first relationship to blossom within the confines of an NBA studio, with Molly Qerim of ESPN having been married to former NBA star Jalen Rose.

The two worked together at ESPN and that sparked a relationship that culminated in a wedding, although they divorced in 2021 after three years.
