Kevin Durant photos with woman at Nobu

The two were having a meal at the famous Nobu, an upscale Japanese restaurant in Malibu, when Durant was photographed after the two departed. In an effort to dodge the camera, Durant hid behind a bush. 

Durant waited behind the bush for a few minutes until the woman arrived and stepped into a car. It is unclear at this time who the woman is. 

Is Kevin Durant married?

Durant has never been married. Back in 2013, he was engaged to Monica Wright, a former WNBA player, but the two called off the engagement in 2014. 

On Bobbi Althoff's "The Really Good Podcast" in November 2025, Durant revealed that he doesn't plan to get married at any point.

Kevin Durant engagement

Durant's relationship with Wright featured its fair share of highs and lows. Both basketball players were the No. 2 overall picks in their respective draft classes. Durant went second to the Seattle Supersonics in 2007, and Wright went second to the Minnesota Lynx in 2010. Today, Weight is the General Manager for the Toronto Tempo, one of the WNBA's newest expansion franchises. 

In an interview with GQ in 2015, Durant admitted that he didn't really know how to love her. Even the engagement itself was a spur-of-the-moment decision. 

"We was just hanging out, chilling. And I felt the energy. I felt, I need to do this right now. And I just did it. I was like... We're engaged right now? We're about to get married?" Durant said.

When it came to breaking off her engagement with Durant, Wright told Risen Magazine that her faith helped her to feel comfortable with the decision. 

“There was a lot of criticism over it. But I think God had my back in it. Because I hold to what I know to be true, that is what God will reward instead of what people on the earth think is a good catch,” Wright said.

Today, Wright is married to Michael Rogers, a former college basketball player at Valparaiso. They have one son together.
