LiAngelo Ball has officially filed for divorce from influencer Rashida Nicole, just days after she publicly announced that the couple was expecting a child together. According to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, Ball filed the paperwork at a Southern California courthouse on July 3, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
Legal filings reveal the pair were married on March 24, 2025, and separated on June 15.
In the documents, Ball is requesting joint custody and visitation rights, while also seeking to terminate spousal support for both parties.
The divorce filing came as a surprise to many, especially after Nicole publicly shared her pregnancy news just a week earlier — a post Ball appeared to support by liking and commenting with a heart emoji and a lock-and-key symbol.

Though the relationship seemed stable in recent public appearances, the sudden split mirrors a previous breakup in Ball’s personal life. Earlier this year, his ex-partner Nikki Mudarris accused him of walking away from their family shortly after the birth of their second child. She claimed on Instagram, “We spent 3 1/2 years together, and last week he decided to walk out on his kids and tell me he got someone else pregnant (allegedly).”
Despite the ongoing personal developments, Ball appeared on streamer Kai Cenat’s channel earlier this week and made no mention of the divorce.
The situation continues to unfold as legal proceedings move forward and public reactions grow.
