In June 2015, Harden was a guest at Kanye West's basketball-themed 38th birthday celebration hosted in the Staples Center. While attending the party, he became acquainted with TV star and mother of two, Khloé Kardashian, who is part of the Kardashian family and subsequently a star on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."

Harden became romantically involved with Kardashian, inheriting the widespread media coverage attached to an association with the Kardashian family. The basketball player, who said he was not interested in anything besides "hooping," broke up with Kardashian after an eight-month relationship between 2015 and 2016.

"I feel like it was for no reason. I wasn't getting anything out of it except my name out there and my face out there, and I don't need that," said Harden after revealing that he did not like the attention. Harden noticed that his constant presence in the media "trickled down" to his teammates, and he assumed responsibility for eliminating that.

James Harden Was Also Linked to Saweetie Who He Reportedly Gifted Cash

In June 2021, Harden was reportedly in a relationship with Santa Clara-born rapper, Saweetie. When this news surfaced, fans of the rapper and the basketball player tapped their Twitter screens to express their opinions on the potential couple. One fan wrote: "Saweetie & James Harden? Pass."

Aside from his engagement rumors in 2020, which his mother denied, Harden was reportedly involved with Instagram model Jessyka Janshel and Youtuber Briana Monique.

Another Twitter user mirrored the stance of the previously mentioned fan when they responded to Saweetie's tweet about her date. Safe to say that the consensus was not in favor of this potential relationship, to the extent that another fan said they could not wait for the drama in Harden and Sweetie's alleged relationship to pop off.

With their association a hot topic on Twitter in 2021, rumors surfaced that Harden paid the rapper $100,000 to go on a date with him. All of these rumors emerged after Saweetie's relationship with former Migos lead rapper, Quavo, ended.

He wasted no time rubbishing those claims amid concerned ridicule from Marquise Jackson's father, 50 Cent. The Philadelphia 76ers point guard asked to be left out of false rumors as he "stays out of the way."
