LiAngelo Ball and Rashida Nicole head for divorce soon after pregnancy announcement

Former NBA player LiAngelo Ball recently filed for divorce from Rashida Nicole. This happened days after the influencer revealed that she was expecting the couple's child. However, TMZ Sports claims that they have already decided to part ways. According to the publication, the former NBA player went to a Southern California courthouse on July 3 to file the divorce. Although it's unclear when the couple were married, witnesses have reported seeing them leave the same SoCal courtroom in February while holding a big packet and dressed all in white.Once again, LiAngelo Ball is in the news, but this time, not for basketball. The rapper and former UCLA baller, who gained popularity for his viral song "Tweaker," has formally filed for divorce from his wife, Rashida Nicole. The announcement came just a few days after she made her pregnancy public.Since there didn't seem to be any recent turmoil between the couple, at least not on the internet, fans were taken aback by the decision. Moreover, there had been no recent indications of conflict between the two as well. Furthermore, when Rashida Nicole disclosed on June 26 that she and her now-former husband were expecting a child together, he "liked" the post. He even commented with a lock and key and a heart emoji. Nevertheless, this sudden news shocked everyone.However, this wasn’t the first time LiAngelo Ball made the news in recent days. Nikki Mudarris, the mother of his other children, recently claimed that the rapper abandoned her and the family soon after she gave birth to their second child. Mudarris said on her Instagram page:"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.”The former NBA player retaliated shortly after Nikki made her accusations. He said that although he had broken up with Nikki, he had not left his kids behind. He further commented: “I’ll never leave or ‘abandon’ any of my kids, so we can dead that right now… I love all my children,” he declared.Now, with a baby on the way and a divorce underway, both the rapper and the influencer are entering a new chapter of their lives. As of now, neither party has made a public statement regarding the divorce filing. Fans will likely be watching closely for any updates in the coming weeks.Also read: Lonzo Ball fires back at critics of LaMelo, LiAngelo, and Ball family legacy: “It doesn't really change my life”
