On Oct. 2, 2023, the former Portland Trail Blazers player filed for divorce in Clackamas County, Oregon.
Lillard and his wife met at Weber State University and got married in September 2021. However, their marriage encountered "irreconcilable differences," leading to an irremediable breakdown, as cited in the divorce filing.
