Ex-Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard has filed for divorce from his longtime love, Kay'La, RadarOnline.com can reveal. The NBA point guard, 33, pulled the plug on his two-year marriage on October 2, filing divorce documents in Oregon.
The shock filing comes shortly after Damian and Kay'La's September wedding anniversary — and days after the 7-time All-Star was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks.
In the documents filed in Clackamas County Circuit Court, the athlete cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the split. He said those differences “caused the irremediable breakdown of their marriage.”
Damian and Kay'La made it official with a September 2021 wedding.
Damian's filing suggests they have lived apart for the last ten months.
The documents obtained by Willamette Week allegedly show that Kay'La moved into a $2.7 million West Linn home back in December 2022 while Damian remained in their marital $7.7 million mansion in the same neighborhood. The filing also showed that the NBA player moved to a home in Tualatin last month.
She said she's been supporting Damian's "family-man image" to the public.
The couple's love story started in college when they began dating as students at Weber State. Damian and Kay'La made their union official by tying the knot in September 2021.
The two share three children together. As of this post, no mention of custody has been disclosed.
RadarOnline.com has reached out to Damian's lawyer for comment.
Split rumors started months ago when fans noticed Kay'La not attending his games.
Despite their long relationship, Damian and Kay'La have been dodging split rumors for weeks after Internet sleuths did a deep dive into their marriage. Fans began noticing Kay'La's absence at his games — and that she was consistently missing from his social media posts.

Damian failed to give Kay'La a shout-out on their wedding anniversary last month. The last time he praised his wife on Instagram was Mother's Day back in May.
Sharing several photos of Kay'La and their children, the NBA star wrote, "Happy mothers Day! Takes a special person to wear all the hats that a mother does. I love you and I’m thankful to share what I’m most proud of with you!"
“I have been the primary parent for our three children since their birth,” Kay’La stated in the court documents.
