Basketball player Kelsey Plum and football player Darren Walker had a short-lived marriage of a little over a year. Following their divorce, Plum has kept her love life away from the media.
Though Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller never confirmed their relationship, fans believe they started dating around 2021 when they were first spotted at Las Vegas Aces games.
During that time, Kelsey played as a point guard at the Las Vegas Aces, and Darren was a member of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Over time, their connection grew nothing but stronger as they spent more time together. By 2022, Plum and Waller’s relationship went public.
Eventually, Plum and Waller made their first official public appearance as a couple at an All Elite Wrestling match in May 2022.
The former couple were vocal about their love and continued to share their love for each other by attending events like the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the inaugural IX Awards in Las Vegas, and more.
Plum and Darren took a significant step in their relationship when they got engaged in early 2023.
The former tight end, Waller, went on his knees to pop the question in a heartfelt and intimate moment. He revealed the details of the proposal, saying:
We were in San Diego, and we went to Torrey Pines and there’s this hike to where the beach is. We went up on this rock where it’s out on the water and I had a photographer there. That’s what I had a photographer there. That’s what I had planned for it.
Eventually, Plum and Waller applied for a marriage license on January 22, 2023, and walked down the aisle on March 4, 2023.
Everything went smoothly until Darren was traded to the New York Giants shortly after their wedding, when their relationship started getting a little rocky.
Despite the distance, the former couple tried to make their relationship work. However, they called it quits and filed for divorce in April 2024 after just over a year of marriage.
