Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller were first linked in 2022 and wasted little time securing their love with each other by getting married. It would not last long.

Las Vegas Aces guard Kelsey Plum confirmed her divorce from New York Giants tight end Darren Waller in a social media post in April.

A little over a month later, Darren Waller, who has been quiet since the announcement of the divorce, finally spoke out in his own way.

The New York Giants tight end—who’s also a musician—dropped his latest single, “Who Knew (Her Perspective).” Waller stated he wrote the song from the viewpoint of a woman trying to love him.

“I’ve struggled with intimacy in romantic relationships my whole life, and I recognize the toll it has taken on the lovers I’ve been close to,” the 31-year-old said on Thursday, according to TMZ.

“Essentially, I’m telling myself, from the damage I’ve done, that it’s imperative for me to heal the wounds in my life I’ve been avoiding by seeking relationships.”

Waller could be seen singing to a woman, which he says represents him walking in her shoes.

“As the song is an attempt to see things from the woman’s perspective, the video is an extension of that, ending with me being alone and wondering why they wounded me and left me there.”

According to TMZ Sports, Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller filed for divorce together, and they’ve already reached an agreement on how their assets and alimony will be divided. The pair tied the knot in March 2023. According to the report, neither party will receive spousal support.

After beginning dating in 2022, Waller and Kelsey Plum soon became engaged. When they started dating, the WNBA All-Star and Pro Bowl tight end were both players in Las Vegas. However, Waller was traded and joined the New York Giants for the 2023 season.

Plum and Darren Waller were married in March 2023 and divorced less than a year later.

In a Twitter post, Plum said, “I am devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go. God has given me an incredible life, and I’m truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends. 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.”

The couple began making appearances together in 2022 and have known each other since at least 2021, though they never confirmed their relationship until their wedding.

It seems their relationship was much better when nobody knew about it.

Las Vegas Aces star Kelsey Plum has broken her silence after filing for divorce from NFL tight end Darren Waller.

Plum and Waller tied the knot just over a year ago, exchanging their vows on March 4, 2023, but their union is already over, with the WNBA guard taking to social media late last month to share a heartbreaking message in which she hinted she was done with the New York Giants TE.

“I’m devastated,” she wrote. “I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go. God has given me an incredible life, and I’m truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends, 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 spoke to FOX reporter Paloma Villicana this week and discussed her personal life after being asked how she’s become a stronger athlete. She admitted that the offseason has been difficult for her, but it also strengthened her faith.

“The offseason has been tough for me,” Plum said. “I think everyone knows – it’s pretty public. For me, I’m super grateful. I think my faith has grown tremendously. Not just that, but I know who I am. You kind of get refined by fire.”

Plum also claimed to be excited about the upcoming season, with the Aces set to defend their WNBA title in 2024.

“I’m excited about this season,” she added. “I’m excited about Las Vegas trying to run it back again. I know that our fans are with us. I know that this organization is with us.”

Kelsey Plum Got A Harsh Wedding Gift From The Las Vegas Raiders Last Year

Kelsey Plum, a two-time WNBA champion with the Aces, began dating Waller while he was a player for the Las Vegas Raiders. They dated for around a year before getting married last March.

Waller was traded across the country to the Giants shortly after the wedding, much to their Chagrin, as Josh McDaniels (the Raiders’ former head coach) accidentally leaked their personal details and sent Waller packing thereafter.

Whether or not the distance impacted their relationship is unknown, but it’s come to an end in any case.
