Las Vegas Aces guard Kelsey Plum and New York Giants tight end Darren Waller filed for divorce this week in Nevada. The pair tied the knot in March 2023.

“I’m devastated,” Plum wrote in an Instagram post. “I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go. God has given me such 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.”

The pair started dating when Waller played for the Las Vegas Raiders — the tight end was traded to the Giants last offseason. 

This spring, Waller told People.com that he was considering retirement. 

“I don’t feel like I’ve really done a lot. In some ways, my life hasn’t really started,” the 2020 Pro Bowler said. “I’m at the point now where I’m like, ’Is this something that I want to continue to invest my time, invest my body, invest my mind in?’ And I’ve got to come to a decision.”

Plum is set to continue her playing career with the defending champion Aces when their season begins on May 14.
