Damian Lillard finds himself in a legal battle with his soon-to-be ex-wife.
Court documents reveal that Damian Lillard initiated divorce proceedings shortly after his trade to the Milwaukee Bucks. The newly minted Bucks guard filed the divorce papers at the Oregon circuit court on a Monday. He is seeking a divorce from his wife of two years, Kay’La Lillard, with whom he has three children.
The court filing reportedly includes a request to prevent Kay’La from using Lillard’s last name post-divorce, as indicated by statements in the court documents. Her maiden name is Hanson.
Lillard has not made any public statements regarding the divorce, as he focuses on preparing for the upcoming season with his new team, the Milwaukee Bucks. His social media posts have mainly showcased clips of his training sessions.
Reports suggest that the couple may have been living in separate residences for the past ten months. The divorce filing cites irreconcilable differences, a common legal basis for divorce proceedings.
Divorce is rarely an easy process, and when significant NBA earnings come into play, it can lead to a challenging legal battle ahead.
