Angel Reese is clearing the air after rumors swirled linking her romantically to NBA star Kevin Durant. The WNBA star recently launched her new podcast, Unapologetically Angel, where she addressed various topics, including her rookie season, her much-publicized rivalry with Caitlin Clark, and her personal life.
During the episode, Reese took a moment to directly deny the speculation about her dating Durant. The rumors started when the two were spotted sitting courtside together at a basketball game, sparking immediate chatter across social media. However, Reese made it clear that there was nothing romantic between them.
“I have no idea how that became a thing just because I sat next to somebody,” Reese said during the podcast. “I don’t know where that even came from. KD has been my favorite player since I was literally a kid, and he’s still my favorite player.”
Reese, who has always been open about her admiration for Durant as an athlete, expressed confusion over how the dating rumors began in the first place. She emphasized that her interaction with Durant was purely out of mutual respect as athletes and nothing more.
