For nearly three decades, LaVar and his wife, Tina Ballhave been hailed as one of the most solid, unshakable power pairs in sports – standing side by side as they raised three multi-millionaire NBA stars (Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball). Even when tragedy struck in February 2017 and Tina suffered a severe, life-changing stroke that left her with a long road to physical recovery, LaVar famously took to reality TV and international press to promise that he would never leave his queen. But honey, the matrix is officially flipped! LaVar just confirmed that he and Tina have officially split and are headed for divorce — and he didn’t hesitate to reveal that he’s already moved on with another woman!
“We Had Our Run” – LaVar Breaks Down the Split
Sitting in front of the streaming cameras on June 24, 2026, the 58-year-old sports mogul casually revealed that Tina is no longer in the picture, claiming that she was the one who ultimately made the executive decision to change direction in his life.
“You know with my wife, Tina decided to go her own way, that’s why you don’t see her right here,”LaVar revealed, completely unbothered as he ate.“But she wants to go out and do something else, that’s fine with me. We had our run. So even if she had strokes and got older, she would never be like, ‘Oh man, she was always beautiful in my eyes.’ Until you say, ‘I want to go do something else.’ Now you are nnot so beautiful to me again.”

Lowar went on to say that both parties have maturely accepted the end of their era, adding, “The fact that if you decide to go this way, I’m going to go that way, that’s fine. It is what it is, man. Anytime you can find someone you can fall in love with for a long time… I had that with her.” —
The internet is exploding over the new romance rumours!
Baby, you know LaVar didn’t just stop at announcing a single bachelor status! During the explosive stream, he boldly admitted to N3on he already found someone else to occupy his time and share his luxury empire.
Media Take Out confirmed that he met a beautiful woman while on vacation in Columbia. Yeah, he’s a pass, bro.
Although LaVar didn’t explicitly name his new lady on camera, the digital peanut gallery instantly went into absolute overdrive! Right-wing blogs and frantic keyboard warriors immediately began circulating wild, unverified photos claiming that LaVar has stepped out with a stunning, hyper-curvy Latina model. Comment sections flared up with critics slamming the mogul – accusing him of abandoning his wife of 28 years after her devastating health battles to chase a glamorous new aesthetic.
However, the family’s defenders are holding the line hard, pointing out that LaVar specifically said Tina was the one who chose to seek a different lifestyle path out of marriage, which means he has every right to find happiness in his next chapter.
The ball family empire changes focus
The separation marks the monumental end of a college romance that originally began back in the 1990s at California State University, Los Angeles, where both LaVar and Tina were standout student-athletes.
As the internet continues to rage over LaVar’s blunt comment about his wife’s beauty post-split, his superstar sons are keeping their heads down. LaMelo Ball is currently focusing on his franchise stardom with the Charlotte Hornets and his own growing family with girlfriend Ana Montana, while Lonzo continues his inspiring career resilience. Tensions may be high behind the scenes at the Big Baller Palace, but the hustle and bustle never stops. We send nothing but peace, healing and strength to Tina and the entire Ball family as they navigate this massive, bittersweet new reality. Stay tuned, baby!
