Former NFL linebacker Ryan Shazier has officially filed for divorce from his wife Michelle, less than two months after she publicly accused him of cheating, according to TMZ.

TMZ’s initial report was based on court documents filed Wednesday.

The couple have two sons together and had been married since 2019, just two years after Ryan suffered a spinal contusion that ended his football career.

In November, Michelle painted Ryan as a “liar and cheat” after claiming he had an affair with a woman who worked as a sports reporter and lawyer in Ohio.

She also went scorched earth by exposing the affair on social media by posting numerous text messages between Ryan and the woman.
