Kelsey Plum Darren Waller Divorce News

WNBA star Kelsey Plum and NFL's Darren Waller file for divorce after 13 months, with Waller hinting at retirement.

WNBA sensation Kelsey Plum and NFL star Darren Waller have officially filed for divorce after just over a year of marriage, as confirmed by a recent court filing in Clark County. This shocking news comes on the heels of Waller hinting at a potential retirement from football due to undisclosed personal issues.

Plum, a standout player for the Las Vegas Aces and a two-time WNBA champion, tied the knot with Waller in March of 2023. However, their relationship hit a rough patch earlier this year when Waller posted a video on social media joking about a possible split.

The video raised concerns about Waller's well-being, particularly in light of his past struggles with substance abuse. Plum, in her statement announcing the divorce, did not reveal the specific reasons behind their decision but expressed her devastation at the turn of events.

Despite standing by Waller through difficult times, Plum ultimately decided to part ways. In her emotional statement, she expressed gratitude for the love and support of her family and friends, hinting at a future where she may share her full story.

As for Waller, the New York Giants are eagerly awaiting his decision regarding his football career. The team acquired him in a trade in 2023, just 11 days after his marriage to Plum. Waller, a former Pro Bowler, signed a lucrative contract with the Raiders in 2022 before joining the Giants.

Waller's performance in his first season with the Giants fell short of expectations, with modest stats compared to his previous successes. Now, as he navigates both personal and professional challenges, the football world watches with bated breath to see what the future holds for the talented tight end.
