LiAngelo Ball Files Divorce Southern California Weeks After Pregnancy Announcement

LiAngelo Ball, the former NBA player turned rapper, has filed for divorce from Rashida Nicole just days after she publicly announced their pregnancy. Court documents show Ball submitted the divorce paperwork on July 3, 2025, following Nicole's pregnancy announcement on June 26, despite previous indications of a stable relationship, including Ball's positive reactions to her Instagram post. The couple reportedly married secretly in early 2025, but the exact wedding date remains unclear. This split adds to Ball's ongoing personal turmoil, as earlier this year, Nikki Mudarris, mother of his two children, accused him of leaving their family after learning he impregnated another woman, believed to be Nicole. Ball has denied some of these allegations, and no specific reason for the recent divorce has been publicly shared. The timing of the divorce, so soon after the pregnancy news and their marriage, has surprised fans and sparked speculation about Ball's personal and professional priorities.
