Malik Beasley's Wife Montana Yao Files For Divorce Days After Larsa Pippen Pics
By Ryan Naumann on December 3, 2020 at 10:10 AM EST
Malik Beasley's wife Montana Yao has filed for divorce from the NBA star days after photos were published of him holding hands with Larsa Pippen.
According to E!, Montana had enough after catching her husband holding hands with Larsa on a date in Miami. Paparazzi caught the two walking around town last month. The snaps were only recently released this week and immediately caused drama.
Sources say Montana had enough and decided she wanted no part of her marriage anymore. Earlier this week, Malik's wife hired a divorce lawyer and was gearing up for war. It appears she finally pulled the plug.

A source told the outlet, "Montana filed for a divorce the day she saw the photos. Montana never cheated, and it's not in her character. She's not dating anybody. She's a family person. She's focusing on taking care of her son with her parents. They are quarantining together. Her son is her first priority."
After the photos were published Montana took to Instagram to express her confusion and thank her fans for their support during this difficult time. She claimed to have no idea the NBA star was stepping out on their marriage.

Montana wrote on her Instagram story, "I've always and will forever remain true to whom I am and GOD has never let me down. the truth always comes out one way or another, Appreciate all the love y'all for real" with a praying hand and heart emoji.
Montana ended, "Wow...I don't even know this man...this is wild y'all I'm seeing it for the first time just like y'all."
It appears Larsa and Mikal have a very different opinion on the matter about his marriage.

Sources close to Mikal claim he was already in the process of getting a divorce. The Minnesota Timberwolves star had reportedly already hired his own divorce lawyer. Mikal and Montana were married in March and have one child together.
Another source close to Larsa says she was aware Mikal was still legally married. The source says they bonded over his divorce and she believed he was leaving his wife. She didn't see anything wrong with it especially since she dated Future while still legally married to Scottie Pippen.

A couple of weeks before the photos were taken of Larsa and Malik, the NBA star was openly flirting with Larsa on social media. He wrote underneath a sizzling selfie, "He waited a bit to comment, "I just want to take you on a date and treat you like a queen."
A source close to Larsa said, "She thought Malik was in the process of ending his marriage and she wasn't doing anything wrong by hanging out with him. Larsa and Malik are still in touch and are planning to see each other again when the news blows over."
The drama continues.
