Kevin Durant’s Past Engagement to WNBA Star Monica Wright
Kevin Durant has kept his personal life out of the spotlight in recent years, but there was a time when his relationship was very much in the public eye.
He was engaged to former Minnesota Lynx WNBA player in 2013, which marked his last confirmed serious relationship.
The couple seemed to be heading toward marriage after Kevin proposed, but by 2014, they had called off the engagement. Their split surprised many fans, but both athletes later admitted that they weren’t the right match.
Monica opened up about the breakup in 2014, explaining that she had to make a difficult decision for herself.
Yeah, in my last relationship [with NBA All-Star Kevin Durant], I had to make a decision about compromising myself as a woman. 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.
Kevin also reflected on their relationship, acknowledging that he struggled with how to love Monica properly.
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.
Furthermore, Kevin believes his introspective nature may have played a role.
He has described himself as an overthinker who cares deeply and needs constant reassurance in relationships.
Since their breakup, the NBA star has remained relatively private about his dating life. Fans can only speculate whether he’s still healing or prefers to keep things low-key.
