LiAngelo Ball files for divorce from 3-month marriage days after wife reveals pregnancy
Ball, according to TMZ, cited "irreconcilable differences" in divorce papers from influencer Rashida Nicole.
The news of the filing, which came on July 3, comes just days after Nicole revealed she was pregnant. Documents, TMZ said, read that their date of marriage was March 24, and they separated on June 15.
"Wish I had all the right words to describe this journey, but I guess if I had to define it, all I can truly say is: I'm grateful, terrified, anxious, nauseous,HANGRY, all of [the] above," Rashida wrote in her post revealing her pregnancy.
"As a teen mom, I was always hesitant about going thru pregnancy and parenthood again. (Iykyk) I want to thank my daughter for being here for me during this process, always demonstrating unconditional LOVE & reassuring me that, "Everything is alright!" And for now…I choose to protect my peace and this beautiful energy."
Ball commented on the post with heart and keylock emojis.
Ball has two children from another relationship with Nikki Mudarris, who claimed that the former basketball player turned rapper left them shortly after their second child was born.
"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) and now is creating a new life with her," Mudarris once said on Instagram.
Ball played college basketball at UCLA but went undrafted, unlike his brothers Lonzo and LaMelo, who were drafted second in 2017 and third in 2020, respectively. He played for his LaMelo's Charlotte Hornets' G-League affiliate from 2021-2023 but never appeared in an NBA game.
Earlier this year, Ball released his hit song, "Tweaker," which Lil Wayne eventually remixed.

Jason Kelce shares the one thing he will 'never ever' tell his wife Kylie to do
Jason Kelce says he will "never ever" tell his wife, Kylie, to do household chores. The former Philadelphia Eagles center says he prefers when she tells him what to do. "I like coaching. I've been coached my whole life. I want people to tell me. I need that," Kelce said. There's one thing that former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce will never say to his wife, Kylie Kelce. "I have never ever, and I will never ever, tell Kylie to do something around the house, because, I don't know, she does enough," Kelce said on the Wednesday episode of the "New Heights" podcast, which he cohosts with his brother, Travis Kelce. "If something doesn't get done, it's like, yeah, well, I should be helping out on this. Tell me what I can do because I am worthless unless you tell me that," Kelce said. Kelce has been married to his wife since 2018, and they share four daughters: Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and Finnley, who was born in March. While he will never tell his wife what to do, he doesn't mind if the roles are reversed. In fact, the retired NFL player says he responds to being nagged at "really well." "Tell me to get my lazy ass up, and take the goddamn trash out. If you tell me to take the trash out, I'm not going to be like, 'Oh, I can't believe she's telling me to take the trash out.' I'm like, 'Yeah, you're right. I should be doing that. OK, I'm sorry,'" he said. Kelce says he "likes the nagging" and needs it because he can be forgetful sometimes. "She's like, 'Jason, I don't want to tell you to do these things.' And I'm like, 'I get that. I'm just like, you know, it's not going to get done unless you tell me to do it,'" Kelce said. "I am pro-nagging. I think nagging is a great thing to do," he added. After all, Kelce says he's used to being told what to do after years of playing on the field. "I like coaching. I've been coached my whole life. I want people to tell me. I need that," Kelce said. Kelce's comments highlight a common relationship challenge: dividing responsibilities without resentment. Splitting household chores 50/50 with a partner might not be the most effective, per couples therapist Lori Gottlieb. "You can't treat a relationship like a spreadsheet. It has to be more organic than that. Each couple needs to find their own rhythm, where each person is participating in a way that makes you both feel like you're getting a good deal," Gottlieb told Jo Piazza, author of "How to Be Married." In a personal essay for Business Insider, Melissa Petro wrote that she and her husband struggled with an uneven division of household chores until the pandemic prompted them to ditch traditional gender roles and switch to a shared family to-do list. In another personal essay for BI, Maria Polansky wrote that she and her husband divide household chores based on the tasks they both enjoy and care about most — a method that's worked well for them. A representative for Kelce did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by BI outside regular hours. Read the original article on Business Insider Solve the daily Crossword

ESPY Awards Shower Kudos on Women as Host Shane Gillis Delivers Edgy Jokes About Female Athletes
Host Shane Gillis brought his trademark brand of combative humor to the opening monologue of Wednesday night's ESPY Awards in Hollywood, drawing a mixed response from the audience of professional athletes and Hollywood celebrities. The host's jabs came in contrast to the high volume of kudos bestowed on major figures in women's sports, including gymnast Simone Biles, rugby star Ilona Maher, recently retired soccer superstar Alex Morgan, retired WNBA great Diana Taurasi, tennis star Sloane Stephens and Penn State volleyball coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley. Olympic gymnast Suni Lee got the nod for best comeback athlete, a gender mixed category. More from Variety How to Watch the 2025 ESPY Awards Online Without Cable Shane Gillis Comedy 'Tires' Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix Shane Gillis to Host the 2025 ESPYs Morgan and Taurasi were jointly honored with the ESPYs Icon Award for their work beyond the game to advance women's sports and improve working conditions for players. 'The way you opened up doors for women outside the game is legendary,' Taurasi told Morgan. The two-time Olympic soccer medalist noted 'We both fought to leave our game in a better place than when we found it.' Morgan added that their advocacy for pay equity for female athletes built on a foundation established by earlier generations. 'We stand on the shoulders of giants,' Morgan said. 'Thanks to them, we never have to apologize for speaking up or fighting to raise the bar.' Schumacher-Cawley, who is battling breast cancer, received the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance. She spoke eloquently about how her training as an athlete in team sports helped her wage war with cancer. 'That jersey we wear means everything, and the bond we share is unbreakable,' Schumacher-Cawley said. 'Sports are amazing, and these women and the women that came before have set the stage to where we are now.' Gillis acknowledged several times that the jokes were not landing. In one example, the 'Tires' star said, 'Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC Fight on the White House lawn. The last time he staged a fight in DC, Mike Pence almost died.' The response was lukewarm, followed by a few scattered claps and cheers. Gillis then told the audience, 'Alright, you don't have to do that. It was fine, I didn't write it.' Gillis salvaged the moment with another joke at Donald Trump's expense. He said, 'Actually, there was supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but I guess it got deleted. Probably deleted itself, right? Probably never existed.' Gillis also took aim at WNBA star point guard Caitlin Clark. He started by joking, 'It's been a big year for the WNBA. I love Caitlin Clark. She and I have a lot in common. We're both whites from the Midwest who have nailed a lot of threes.' Behind a so-so reaction, Gillis added, 'There you go, lighten up a little. It's not serious. We'll see about this one.' Gillis then delivered a line that also fell flat in the Dolby Theater, 'When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most: fist-fighting Black women.' Other highlights of the 2025 ESPYs included the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage to pioneering Black basketball player Oscar Robinson, who founded the NBA Players Assn. Previous ESPYS hosts have included both sports legends and big screen talents. Those who have hosted the ESPN award show include Serena Williams, Stephen Curry, Anthony Mackie, Tracy Morgan, Danica Patrick and Peyton Manning.
