\u201cI\u2019m not reporting this, but somebody had told me like, \u2018I think that he\u2019s having a baby,’\u201d Gambadoro said on the Burns & Gambo Show\u2019s latest episode on Monday. \u201cSo, I think that\u2019s why he\u2019s not playing, but I don\u2019t know for sure. But that\u2019s what somebody told me, \u2018Hey, I think he\u2019s becoming a dad.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Obviously, that\u2019s a huge claim. So much so that even the insider stayed away from officially reporting it. Nonetheless, KD\u2019s absence from these two games does seem suspicious, given that he\u2019s got a lot of history with both the franchise<\/a>, but his being on paternity leave? Seems a bit of a stretch, at least for now.<\/p>\n Imago<\/p>\n May 27, 2025; Los Angeles, California, USA; Kevin Durant attends a WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and LA Sparks at Crypto.com Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images<\/p>\n However, we cannot entirely rule out the possibility of this news being true. After all, Durant\u2019s close friend and former teammate James Harden<\/a> did not reveal that he had a six-year-old son until he appeared on the Netflix docuseries \u2018Starting 5.\u2019 Additionally, because the Slim Reaper\u2019s name is being associated with a WNBA star, who might be the mother of this alleged child.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>Is Kevin Durant having a baby with Brittney Griner? What does the viral claim say?<\/p>\n Even though Gambadoro refrained from reporting this news officially, according to a social media post<\/a>, the reporter revealed that Durant is having a baby with WNBA star Brittney Griner.<\/p>\n \u201cKevin Durant is allegedly having a baby with Brittney Griner \u2014 baby shower reportedly moved from Phoenix to Houston, per Gambo,\u201d the post was captioned with images of both players hugging each other during an interaction.<\/p>\n Now, there\u2019s yet to be an official confirmation from KD or Griner, but many people believe this information to be true. But is it actually though? Well, no. While the veteran forward doesn\u2019t like to discuss much of his personal life with fans or the media, this seemed to be a parody post more than anything else.<\/p>\n Not just because Brittney Griner is already married to her lovely wife, but also because of the out-of-line comments, or rather fake tweets from players such as Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards<\/a>, attached to it. So, while the news of Houston Rockets\u2019 star becoming a father might hold some weight, it\u2019s most likely not with Brittney Griner.<\/p>\n Real facts: Who is the father of Brittney Griner\u2019s baby?<\/p>\n While Atlanta Dream star Brittney Griner might not be associated with Kevin Durant\u2019s alleged child, she does have her own little family. The 35-year-old is happily married to her wife, Cherelle Griner. In fact, the couple is also proud parents of a baby boy. Speaking to CBS Sports ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Griner confirmed the newest addition to her family.<\/p>\n Imago<\/p>\n Jul 23, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Atlanta Dream center Brittney Griner (42) acknowledges the fans and Phoenix Mercury before a game at Footprint Center.

He is amazing,\u201d Brittney said with a proud smile, the outlet reported. \u201cThey said as soon as you see them, everything that you thought mattered just goes out the window. That\u2019s literally what happened. It kind of sucks because I have to leave, but at the same time, he will understand.\u201d<\/p>\n It seems like Cherelle and Brittney Griner have been enjoying a happy life as a couple and have also been embracing their parenthood since last year. Having said that, it makes you think, why did people believe that Kevin Durant and the WNBA star were linked with having a kid together in the first place?<\/p>\n Why were Kevin Durant and Brittney Griner linked?<\/p>\n Well, even though there\u2019s no way to confirm why both these hoopers were linked with each other, their previous interactions might\u2019ve played a part in it. One such incident occurred earlier this year, when the Houston Rockets<\/a> forward was in attendance for a WNBA game between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Atlanta Dream.<\/p>\n![\"article-image\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/USATSI_26304069-1.jpg\")
