Kevin Durant sparks new romance rumors with Angel Reese after unexpected initiative

In the past, Kevin Durant and Angel Reese were romantically linked. However, it was in September when the Chicago Sky player put an end to the rumors, assuring that there was nothing between them. But now, the NBA player has reignited the alarms of a possible romance between them.

Kevin Durant seems to have succumbed to Angel Reese‘s charms and manifested this in an unexpected way. During the weekend, just before the game between the Phoenix Suns and the Minnesota Timberwolves in Arizona, Durant said something that left everyone stunned.

Kevin Durant’s unexpected words

In honor of Women’s Month, players were asked to name their favorite female athlete of all time. Each of them, including Kevin Durant, responded with who they believed fit the bill.

Many athletes played it safe. Some of the most mentioned names were icons like Diana Taurasi and Serena Williams. Grayson Allen, for example, said his wife, Morgan Reid Allen, who was a soccer player. When it was Kevin Durant’s turn, he said without hesitation, “Angel Reese.”

Rumors grow

Although Angel Reese is undoubtedly an up-and-coming talent and a great surprise in the WNBA, she’s a rookie. This raised the alarms and reignited speculations of a romance between her and Kevin Durant, or at least a clear interest from the NBA star.

However, these are all rumors and mere speculations. It could be that Kevin Durant truly considers her the best of all time. It is also possible that he wanted to show affection, especially considering they both have history in Maryland.

These two had already been under public scrutiny for a possible romance. Last summer, Angel Reese and Kevin Durant were seen sharing very cozy moments during a women’s basketball exhibition game. At that time, it was said that they seemed very comfortable enjoying each other’s company. However, Reese made it clear on “Unapologetically Angel” that she’s single and has other things on her mind. Who knows, maybe something will spark between these two stars.
