WNBA champion Kelsey Plum and husband, NFL tight end Darren Waller have filed for divorce after one year of marriage.
On Tuesday, Plum, 29, and Waller, 31, filed a joint petition for divorce in Clark County, Nevada, according to court documents.
Just after the filing, Plum shared a heartbreaking message on social media. “I’m devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.
“God has given me an incredible life, and I’m truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends,” the Las Vegas Aces star continued.
“One day I’ll share my story, today is not that day. Thank you for the grace to process my pain, to forgive and move forward. Today and everyday I will continue to choose joy. Much love KP.”
Plum ended her message writing, “Philippians 1:6.” The bible verse says, “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
Just weeks before the divorce filing, Waller spoke to PEOPLE about his plans for the future, and how he’s considering retiring from football.
“I’m at the point now where I’m like, ‘Is this something that I want to continue to invest my time, invest my body, invest my mind in?’ And I’ve got to come to a decision on that,” Waller said.
“And it’s to the point where it’s like, man, I don’t feel like I’ve really done a lot. In some ways my life hasn’t really started.”
Waller added, “I’m a guy who’s into a lot more than football,” Waller says. “And football’s done a lot for me, I’m so grateful, but it’s a grind, and you’ve got to be 100% willing to suit up for it, and I’ve got to decide if I’m 100% or not.”
Plum will kick off a new WNBA season in May.
