Montana Yao Files for Separation from Malik Beasley Ahead of Anniversary

Montana Yao has filed for legal separation from her husband, Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley, just one day before their fifth wedding anniversary, citing 'irreconcilable differences.' Yao is seeking spousal support and has two children with Beasley, whom they married in March 2020. This marks the second time Yao has initiated divorce proceedings, the first being in December 2020 after Beasley was photographed with Larsa Pippen, which left Yao feeling blindsided. The couple reconciled after the initial split, with Beasley publicly apologizing to Yao in 2021 for his past actions. Currently, Beasley is having a successful season, averaging 16.6 points per game. The couple's tumultuous relationship has been marked by public challenges and reconciliation efforts over the years.
