Baltimore Ravens’ veteran offensive lineman Ben Cleveland has filed for divorce from his wife over charges of “adultery.”
Cleveland, a 26-year-old guard who has started seven games over four seasons, submitted documents in Baldwin County, Georgia Feb. 28. According to TMZ, Cleveland lists the official date of his formal separation from wife Kaitlyn as Dec. 29, 2024.
The couple was married in 2022.
The divorce filling comes just two weeks after Cleveland was arrested for drunk driving in Georgia. A police report indicates that Cleveland’s black pickup truck left the roadway at one point. The truck then turned “and entered the opposite lane of travel, nearly going into the ditch.”
Cleveland agreed to a blood-alcohol test, and blew a .178 which is over the legal limit in Georgia.
The third-round draft pick from 2021 proposed to his wife in Las Vegas two years of dating. In 2022 he wrote on his social media, “2 years and then some until you’re actually my wife. Not sure, we haven’t really started wedding planning yet and we’ve been engaged 6 months so that’s on her. But she’s gonna be my wife so that’s kinda cool.”
Kaitlyn shared a series of photos on her Instagram from the Ravens’ Christmas Day game against the Houston Texans. The carousel featured images of Ben and Kaitlyn. She has since changed her status to “private.”
According to US Weekly magazine, Kaitlyn shared a series of photos from the Virgin Islands on February 7. She captioned the series, “A one-way flight has never sounded better.”
