Thursday, July 10, 2025 - LiAngelo Ball has filed for divorce from Rashida Nicole, just days after the influencer announced she was expecting the couple’s child.
According to court records obtained by TMZ Sports, the
professional basketball player and rapper submitted the divorce petition at a
Southern California courthouse on July 3.While it remains unclear exactly when
the two got married, the couple was seen leaving the same courthouse back in
February wearing all-white outfits and holding a large envelope, sparking
speculation at the time that they had tied the knot.
The news of Ball’s filing comes as a surprise, as there had
been no public indication of a rift between the pair. On June 26, only a week
before the divorce filing, Nicole announced her pregnancy in a social media
post, one that Ball appeared to support, leaving a heart emoji and a lock and
key in the comments.
Attempts to reach Ball’s legal team for comment have so far
gone unanswered.
This isn’t the first time the 25-year-old athlete has made
headlines over a sudden breakup. Earlier this year, Nikki Mudarris, the mother
of Ball’s other children, accused him of abandoning their family shortly after
the birth of their second child. In a public statement, Mudarris claimed, “We
spent 3 1/2 years together, and last week he decided to walk out on his kids
and tell me he got someone else pregnant (allegedly) and now is creating a new
life with her.”
Despite the divorce filing, Ball appeared publicly just a
day prior during a livestream with popular content creator Kai Cenat. He made
no mention of the separation and appeared to be in good spirits throughout the
session.
