Plum’s heartbreaking message on her social media account went as follows,
“I’m devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go.”
The 29-year-old continued,
“God has given me an incredible life, and I’m truly grateful for the profound love from my family and friends. One day I’ll share my story, today is not that day. Thank you for the grace to process my pain, to forgive and move forward. Today and everyday I will continue to choose joy. Much love KP.”
The Las Vegas Ace ended her message by writing, “Philippians 1:6”, a Biblical verse, which says, “If you are in Christ and have known this promise, you’ve known it is precious. I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ”, per Scripture Type.

Plum has not revealed any details regarding her divorce at this time. She has only expressed her gratitude for the support she has received, and asked fans to respect her privacy during this tough period.
Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller’s relationship timeline
In a 2023 Instagram post, Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller broke the news, announcing they’d be getting married on March 4, 2023. The couple had never confirmed their relationship up to that point but had reportedly dated for approximately a year before they decided to tie the knot, per People.com.
This was evident from how Waller has attended most of Plum’s WNBA games since late 2021, while the couple was also spotted together attending various team and sporting events for their respective Las Vegas-based teams. Plum and Waller later applied for a marriage license on January 22, 2023, before their wedding in March of the same year.
However, Kelsey Plum’s recent announcement has confirmed that their marriage will be coming to an end a little over a year later. We hope for both people to come out stronger and healthier from this tough period in their lives.
