LiAngelo Ball files for divorce from Rashida Nicole, cites ‘irreconcilable differences' just 7 days after pregnancy news
The split comes after a whirlwind romance that saw the couple marry on March 24 and separate on June 15—barely three months later. The news blindsided fans, especially given Ball's visible online support of the pregnancy announcement just days prior.
A sudden split following pregnancy reveal
Rashida Nicole stunned followers on June 26 when she revealed her pregnancy with Ball's child, a post he 'liked' and adorned with a heart-and-key emoji, as reported by TMZ Sports. Barely seven days later, the 2018 JBA champion had the divorce paperwork filed.
Nicole's announcement made it seem as though the couple was cementing their future together; instead, legal filings show their relationship had already unraveled before she went public with the news.
Marriage timeline and previous heartbreak
According to court records obtained by the publication, LiAngelo and Rashida exchanged vows in late March 2025 and officially separated by mid-June. The 'Tweaker' rapper's petition requests joint custody and visitation rights for their unborn child and asks the court to terminate spousal support for both parties.
This abrupt breakup echoes allegations by Nikki Mudarris, mother of Ball's two older children, who claimed he abandoned their family shortly after their second child's birth earlier this year. Per the outlet, Mudarris stated on her Instagram that Ball had allegedly gotten 'someone else pregnant and now is creating a new life with her.'
Moving forward amid legal proceedings
While Ball appeared in good spirits during a recent stream with Kai Cenat, having made no reference to the divorce, the couple remains embroiled in pending court action. As fans and followers await further developments, the legal teams for both sides will now iron out custody arrangements as well as the division of any marital assets.

LiAngelo Ball divorce: Rashida Nicole accuses Nikki Mudarris of harassment during pregnancy
LiAngelo 'Gelo' Ball's already dramatic split from Rashida Nicole has taken a volatile turn. Just days after he filed for divorce, Rashida publicly accused his ex-girlfriend Nikki Mudarris of harassing her during her pregnancy—allegations that have exploded across social media. What began as a quiet legal separation has escalated into a public war of words between the two women once closest to the former NBA athlete-turned-rapper. Rashida goes public with harassment allegations On Sunday, Rashida Nicole posted a fiery Instagram Story aimed squarely at Ball's former partner, Nikki Mudarris, following her appearance on The Jason Lee Show. In the televised interview, Mudarris claimed Ball dumped her via text shortly after the birth of their second child, saying he had 'got someone pregnant.' Rashida fired back, claiming Mudarris had been privately tormenting her throughout her pregnancy. 'This lady has harassed me the entire time behind the scenes,' she wrote, 'trying to have ppl call me to abort my baby…' Though she avoided naming Mudarris directly. Nikki's side and Ball's silence Nikki has not directly responded to Rashida's post, but she did release a carousel of photos from her interview and told followers she wanted to 'set the record straight.' During the show, she accused Ball of blindsiding her, claiming he disappeared for three days before dropping the pregnancy news by text. Gelo, who filed for divorce on July 3—just one week after Rashida announced her pregnancy —has stayed largely quiet. When asked about the backlash last week, he told Billboard, 'It don't touch me or bother me too much… You not me, for real.' For now, the custody battle and war of words continue. Meanwhile, Rashida, due in December, says she's enjoying the show and was, as she put it, 'just loading up.'
