WNBA's Kelsey Plum, NFL TE Darren Waller file for divorce after one-year of marriage
Two-time WNBA champion Kelsey Plum and New York Giants tight end Darren Waller have filed for divorce after one year of marriage, according to online records filed in Clark County, Las Vegas.
Plum, an All-Star guard for the Las Vegas Aces, and Waller filed a joint petition for divorce on Tuesday. Plum posted a message on social media Tuesday that appears to be about the divorce.
"I'm devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it's time to go," she wrote. "God has given me an incredible life, and I'm truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends.
"One day I'll share my story, today is not that day. Thank you for the grace to process my pain, to forgive and move forward. Today and everyday I will continue to choose joy. Much love KP."
Waller hasn't commented on social media.
