Ryan Shazier, a former linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has officially filed for divorce from his wife of seven years, Michelle. The couple's marriage has been under scrutiny since last November when Michelle publicly accused Ryan of cheating. The news of their divorce has been making headlines, with many wondering about the reason behind their separation.
According to sources, Michelle's decision to make their marital issues public was the catalyst for Ryan filing for divorce. She had posted screenshots of text messages allegedly between Ryan and another woman named Marie, where he was discussing sexual acts and sending her books on the subject. In the now-deleted post, Michelle referred to Ryan as a "liar and a cheater," expressing her hurt and anger towards his infidelity.
The divorce announcement comes after Ryan's statement to TMZ in which he confirmed that he and Michelle were separated and living apart. He asked for privacy and prayers as they work through their issues and figure out what is best for their family. The couple has a 9-year-old son named Lyon, and their relationship has been tumultuous since the 2017 incident that left Ryan temporarily paralyzed.
In December 2017, during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Ryan suffered a severe spinal injury that ended his football career. He underwent spine stabilization surgery and had to learn to walk again. Two years later, in 2019, he married Michelle, who had been by his side since day one. However, it seems that their marriage was not meant to last, and the reason for their split remains sealed to the public.
While Ryan may be facing personal struggles, his professional life has also faced challenges. The 2014 NFL draftee retired from the league in 2020, and now, his focus is on his family and healing from his injury. It is a difficult time for Ryan, and he certainly did not expect to be facing a divorce after seven years of marriage. In the midst of this, news of other NFL players facing legal issues has surfaced, with Indianapolis Colts player Drew Ogletree being arrested on domestic violence charges. It serves as a reminder that even professional athletes are not immune to personal struggles and challenges.
