LiAngelo Ball a.k.a. "GELO" has filed for divorce from his pregnant wife Rashia Nicole.

According to a report TMZ published on Wednesday, July 9, the athlete-turned-artist submitted legal documents requesting the split to a courthouse in Southern California. It's not clear exactly when the former couple got hitched. They were spotted leaving a courthouse in California in February, and Rashida confirmed their marriage in May. Unfortunately, the "Tweaker" rapper filed for divorce on July 3, which is exactly one week after Rashida announced she is pregnant with their first child together.

Gelo seemed to support her pregnancy by liking the post and commenting with heart and lock emojis, which seemed like they were locked in for the long haul. Now it's clear their relationship is over. It's the second woman the artist has left within the past six months. Back in February, his former girlfriend, Nikki Mudarris, accused Ball of abandoning her and their kids just two months after their youngest daughter LaNiyah was born.

"We spent 3 1/2 years together, and last week he decided to walk out on his kids and tell me he got someone else pregnant (allegedly) and now is creating a new life with her," she wrote. “We were just happy and planning family photos – I am beyond blind-sighted by this whole thing. The ultimate betrayal is not even the word. My daughter is not even 2 months old and dealing with this and postpartum is very hard. Please pray for me & my healing because I will get through this.”

As of this report, neither Ball nor Rashida Nicole have commented on their split.
