NBA star Kevin Durant gets Engaged to WNBA player Monica Wright



Its Kevin Durrant for dem girls!! but sorry ladies it appears the NBA star is off the market for good.

Love and basketball! After months of dating, the Oklahoma City star reportedly asked Monica to marry him. And she said yes!

But how could she say no? This is Kevin Durant we're talking about, one of the kindest, most benevolent players in the NBA. Durant is like a teddy bear who can dunk. In other words, great marriage material.

Kevin Durant, 24, is going from winning NBA scoring titles to starting his own family, as he reportedly asked his WNBA star girlfriend, Monica Wright for her hand in marriage on July 6.

Monica, also 24, showed off her new bling — a large circular diamond engagement ring — in a picture obtained by Media Takeout, confirming that she and Kevin got engaged. 

After being close friends since high school, linked by their successful basketball careers, the couple reportedly took things to the next level months ago. But romance has long been on Kevin’s mind: in 2011 he tweeted,

 “Or maybe I need a basketball playing girlfriend…hmm lol…monica wright where r u(love and basketball.”

And the feelings of love and admiration clearly go both ways. After Kevin donated $1 million to the tornado relief in Oklahoma, Monica gushed about her man:

“He’s got a heart of gold, and anytime (something like) this happens, he’s the first one who wants to help,” Monica told FoxSportsNorth. “He’s a really compassionate guy.” 



This is such an adorable love story — from BFFs to an impending wedding. Kevin is clearly a genuine guy who must know what a catch he has in Monica — he didn’t waste any time before popping the question! And can we just say it — their future children are going to be insane basketball players.

Congrats, Kevin and Monica!
