NBA Player Damian Lillard Files for Divorce From Wife Kay’La After 2 Years of Marriage
The Milwaukee Bucks NBA player and his wife Kay'La Lillard are college sweethearts and share three children together
Damian Lillard is calling time out on his relationship with wife Kay'La Lillard.
The Milwaukee Bucks basketball player has filed for divorce after two years of marriage, according to multiple reports.
According to Portland-based Willamette Week, Damian filed for divorce in Clackamas County Circuit Court on Monday and cited "irreconcilable differences" for the reason behind the split.
The former couple — who were college sweethearts at Utah's Weber State University — had been married since September 2021 and share three children.
Some fans of the pair have speculated that there could be trouble in paradise when Damian stopped posting his wife on social media. One of his last posts with Kay'La was on Mother's Day when he wished her a special day.
"Takes a special person to wear all the hats that a mother does," he wrote on Instagram. "I love you and I'm thankful to share what I'm most proud of with you!"

Damian's divorce news comes after the athlete was traded from the Portland Trail Blazers to the Milwaukee Bucks last month. Throughout his career, however, the NBA All-Star has had the support of Kay'La.
"Who you choose to go through this life with is probably the most important decision you make," he wrote on Instagram in November 2022. "I'd choose you every time... Happy birthday to my beautiful wife, my closest friend, the person who hates me one minute and loves me the next, the best mom, my biggest fan, my love, and a great partner in life. So happy to bring another year of life in with you! I love you!"
