Kevin Durant Spotted Ducking Behind Foliage While Leaving Malibu Dinner Outing

Kevin Durant's attempt at a discreet exit didn't quite go as planned.

The 37-year-old Houston Rockets player was spotted leaving Nobu in Malibu, California on Tuesday, June 3, following a dinner outing with a woman whose identity remains unknown. In an effort to steer clear of waiting photographers, Durant positioned himself behind nearby bushes as the pair made their way out of the restaurant.

The strategy, however, had one notable flaw: standing at 6'11", the basketball star's head remained clearly visible above the vegetation. His companion successfully made it to their vehicle before Durant made a quick sprint from his hiding place into the back of a truck.

The mystery woman's identity has not been disclosed. Durant has maintained a notably guarded approach to his personal life over the years. His most recent public relationship was with former WNBA player Monica Wright, to whom he was engaged in 2013 before the engagement was dissolved.

In a 2025 appearance on Bobbi Althoff's Not This Again podcast, Durant opened up about his views on marriage. "I think divorce is more realistic cuz the divorce percentage is higher," he said. "That's forever though and you're banking on that being 50/50. I don't know if I want to take those odds."

He elaborated further on the concept, explaining, "It's like the word marriage, like what the relationship is, like do I want to be with this somebody every day and hang (out) with the same person every day. I have never really dreamt of having a wedding day. When I go to a wedding, it's like 'oh this is cool, oh it's dope.' It's not like it needs to happen in my mind. But (a wedding) is still a cool event."
