Kelsey Plum opened up on her complex divorce from Darren Waller
Darren Waller went through some personal challenges after retiring from the NFL. He got married to LA Sparks star Kelsey Plum, then in the Las Vegas Aces, in 2023. They only dated for one year before tying the knot.
A year later, they went their separate ways, in a divorce that affected the veteran guard.
"Going through a very public divorce is something I was not expecting," Plum said in October. "It felt like the rug got taken out from under me. I think people may look at me like, 'Oh, she's super tough.' But this one really broke me.
"I deleted social media off my phone. I got a new phone, and don't have very many people's numbers. I turned off TV and just got into reading my Bible. I'll just say that emotionally, I'll be feeling this for a long time."
Darren Waller also earned some enemies due to his separation from Plum.
He finished his NFL career with 350 receptions for 4,124 yards and 20 touchdowns in 86 games. Now, he's trying to put on even better numbers in the rap game.
