Damian Lillard divorce timeline: Exploring Bucks star's split from ex-wive and relationship history
It seems like Damian Lillard is heading for another divorce after splitting with the Portland Trail Blazers last week.
Lillard has also filed divorce from his wife Kay'La Lillard, who is the mother of his three children. The divorce was filed five days after the 33-year-old guard was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks.
According to Sophie Peel of the Willamette Week, the Lillards are heading for divorce just two years after they were married. They have been together since their college days at Weber State University in Utah. They have three kids together, a son named Damian Jr. and fraternal twins, Kali and Kalii.
The divorce was filed in Clackamas County Circuit Court in Oregon City, Oregon. The couple cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split. It seems like the couple has been living in different houses in West Linn, Oregon since December 2022.
The filing also said that the former Blazers star moved to Tualatin, Oregon, last month.
Damian Lillard is being represented by Shawn Menashe, who did not respond to any requests for comments about the divorce. Lillard is currently in training camp preparing for his first season with the Milwaukee Bucks.
