Overview
- LaVar Ball told streamer N3on that Tina "decided to go her own way" and that she filed for divorce during a June 24 livestream, and he said he has since started a new relationship.
- Multiple outlets report the announcement based on LaVar’s remarks but reporters have found no publicly verified divorce filings and Tina Ball has not issued a public comment.
- LaVar said the new partner is someone who works for him, but he declined to identify the person or provide details about when the relationship began.
- The split follows a history of serious health issues for the couple: Tina suffered a major stroke in 2017 that left her with aphasia and LaVar had his right leg amputated in early 2025.
- The news arrives as the Ball family navigates other high-profile changes, including LaMelo’s recent trade, and could affect the family’s brand and public role in sports and business.
