After a little over a year of marriage, Las Vegas Aces basketball star Kelsey Plum and NFL tight end Darren Waller have decided to part ways. According to online records, a joint petition for a “summary decree of divorce” was filed in Clark County District Court on Tuesday, indicating mutual agreement on the separation terms.

Plum took to social media to confirm the split, expressing her devastation and hinting at a challenging journey. “I’m devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go,” Plum wrote in her statement. However, she did not disclose the reasons behind the divorce, stating, “One day I’ll share my story, today is not that day.”

The couple tied the knot in March of the previous year and have no children together, as per court records. Waller, known for his time with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2020, was traded to the New York Giants just days after their wedding. Despite the relocation, his charitable foundation has continued its involvement in the Las Vegas community.

Kelsey Plum, the first overall pick in the 2017 WNBA Draft, has been a pivotal player for the Aces since the franchise relocated to Las Vegas. A two-time WNBA All-Star, she has contributed to the team’s success, winning two titles with the Aces and securing a gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics as part of the U.S. 3×3 women’s basketball team.

While the reasons for their split remain undisclosed, both athletes are expected to continue pursuing their respective careers with the same dedication and passion they’ve shown on the court and field.
