Gelo Files for Divorce Amid Pregnant Wife’s Announcement
It looks like Gelo is running away from his freshly formed family. Here is everything we know so far.
LiAngelo “
Gelo” Ball filed for divorce from Rashida Nicole just days after she announced her pregnancy, leaving fans confused and social media buzzing. On June 26, Rashida confirmed her pregnancy on Instagram, with Gelo responding using heart, lock, and key emojis—a public show of support that now contrasts sharply with recent events.
Less than a week later, on July 3, Gelo filed divorce papers in Southern California. The timing surprised many, especially since the couple reportedly married quietly around February 2025 without public announcement.
Rashida has stayed silent about the divorce, maintaining a positive tone in her pregnancy announcement. No official statements have come from either side since the news broke.
This isn’t Gelo’s first public relationship drama. Earlier this year, reality TV personality Nikki Mudarris, his ex, accused him of abandoning their children after discovering his new relationship and impending fatherhood with Rashida. That fallout stirred tension online, and this latest news only adds to it.
Social media reactions range from confusion over the sudden split to criticism of Gelo’s relationship history. Many worry about the impact on the unborn child and suspect a repeating pattern.
Legal proceedings have started, but details like custody, child support, or the baby’s due date remain unknown. Courts may wait until after birth to address custody. Meanwhile, Gelo remains quiet on social media, fueling speculation.
Filing for divorce while his wife is pregnant raises questions about timing and intentions. Whether this ends the story or adds another chapter in a complicated saga is yet to be seen.
