Damian Lillard's ex Kay'la Lillard shares adorable snaps of their kids braving the rain in 'Paw Patrol' gear at Halloweentown Festival
Damian Lillard's estranged wife, Kay'la Lillard, shared photos of their children celebrating the Halloweentown Festival in St. Helens, Oregon, on Sunday. The Milwaukee Bucks star filed for divorce last October, while Kay'la wanted sole custody of their kids.
In a bunch of Instagram stories, Kay'la showed photos of their three children wearing "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Paw Patrol" costumes. The couple's three kids, eldest son Damian Jr. and fraternal twins Kali and Kalii, were seen enjoying the outing.
Damian Jr. was donning the "Sonic" costume, while Kali dressed as "Skye" and Kalii wore a "Chase" costume. Halloweentown Festival is celebrated every October in St. Helens, a city north of Portland.
Damian Lillard and Kay'la Hanson were college sweethearts at Weber State. They were together for more than a decade before finally getting married in 2021. However, their marriage ended in just two years when Damian filed for divorce in Clackamas County Circuit Court in Oregon City, Oregon.
The Bucks star cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for wanting the divorce. The documents from the case revealed that the couple had been living in separate houses in the affluent neighborhood of West Linn, south of Portland, since December 2022.
There are no updates on the proceedings or if the divorce has been finalized. Kay'la wanted sole custody of their three children, and the hearing for it was delayed during the 2023-24 NBA season.
Based on the posts by the NBA star on his Instagram account, he spent time with them during the offseason. Kay'la having their kids at Halloween could also mean either the custody battle is still ongoing or they decided to share custody.
Damian Lillard opened up about going through a divorce and custody battle earlier this year
Damian Lillard went through a couple of divorces last year: With his wife Kay'la Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers. It was a rough time last season for the All-Star guard, but he had to play through it during the campaign.
Speaking to Yahoo Sports in February, Damian opened up about his split from his wife and how being in a custody battle was a nightmare.
"As much as I love basketball, and I love my job, I don't care about it more than I care about my kids," Lillard said. "Of course, you carry it with you. People say, 'When I hoop I ain't thinking about nothing,' but I'm not 21. I got three kids. I'm tight with my family and I'm going through a divorce."
Amid his divorce, rapper GloRilla publicly shot her shot and flirted with Damian Lillard online. Kay'la Lillard even responded by mocking GloRilla after her arrest for DUI, as per TMZ.
