Former NFL linebacker Ryan Shazier has officially filed for divorce from his wife Michelle less than two months after she publicly accused him of cheating, according to TMZ.
TMZ’s initial report was based off court documents filed on Wednesday.
The couple have two sons together and had been married since 2019, only two years after Ryan had suffered a spinal contusion that ended his football career.
Back in November, Michelle painted Ryan as a ‘liar and a cheater’ after claiming he was having an affair with a woman who worked as a sports reporter and lawyer in Ohio.
She also went scorched earth in exposing the affair on social media by posting countless text messages between Ryan and the woman.
‘A person that loves his family … this is what they do to their family … the WIFE… that has been there for him since day 1! Infidelity at its finest!’ Michelle captioned her now-deleted post.
‘I can’t sit here and keep hiding anymore,’ she continued. ‘You can have it. I deserve better. This is Ryan… he’s a liar and a cheater!’
One of the screenshots of the text messages also showed that Ryan sent links to books titled ‘The Ultimate Guide To Anal Sex For Women’ and ‘Blow By Blow: A Step-by-Step Guide On How To Give Blow Jobs So Explosive That He Will Be Willing To Do Anything For You.’
Following the initial incident Ryan told TMZ : ‘Michelle and I have been living apart are currently separated.
‘As we work through what comes next for our family, I ask for privacy and prayers.’
