Allen Iverson’s Wife Tawanna Files for Divorce
Troubled NBA star Allen Iverson’s wife Tawanna Iverson has filed for divorce from Allen after eight years of marriage. The two have been friends and started dating back in junior high school. She filed the divorce Tuesday in Fulton County (GA) Superior Court.
Tawanna is claiming irreconcilable differences but several NBA insiders have dropped hints.
According to several NBA sources with knowledge of the situation, Iverson has been troubled by excessive drinking.
Iverson, just this past week, quit on his second NBA team, the 76ers, after retiring/quitting from the Memphis Grizzlies back in November after just three games.
Iverson’s business manager, Gary Moore, issued the following statement:
“We’ll eventually issue a statement, probably around Monday or Tuesday, maybe before,” Moore said. “I don’t know. For now, though, just pray for us. Please pray for us. We need all the prayers we can get.”
Iverson is currently in Georgia attending to his sick daughter Messiah who has a serious and undisclosed illness. Allen and Tawanna have several children including a 15-year old and 17-month old.
Iverson has now had messy splits from the Nuggets, Pistons, Grizzlies, 76ers (first time), and Tawanna.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Allen, Tawanna, and especially Messiah.
