In a candid and shocking revelation, WNBA star Kelsey Plum recently opened up about the reasons behind her divorce from NFL tight end Darren Waller. The couple, who were once considered a power duo in the sports world, called it quits earlier this year. Now, Plum is shedding light on the “dirty secrets” that led to their split.
During a podcast interview, Plum didn’t hold back. “People think they know what happened, but they really don’t,” she began, her voice steady but tinged with emotion. “There were a lot of things that people didn’t see—things that went on behind closed doors.”
Plum revealed that trust issues were a significant factor in their breakup. “It wasn’t just one thing. It was a series of events that made me realize I couldn’t stay in that marriage,” she said. “There were times when I felt like I was living with a stranger. Darren would shut me out, and it got to the point where I didn’t know who he was anymore.”
She also hinted at infidelity, though she didn’t go into specifics. “Let’s just say, there were some things that crossed the line for me,” Plum added, clearly holding back some details.
When asked if she and Waller have any contact now, Plum shook her head. “We don’t talk. It’s better that way,” she said. “I’m focusing on my career and moving forward.”
Plum’s revelations have sparked a wave of speculation and support from fans, who admire her strength in speaking out about such a personal issue.
