NBA Star Malik Beasley was reportedly separated from his wife Montana Yao months before being caught on a date with Larsa Pippen.
According to Hollywood Unlocked, a source close to the situation claims Malik and Montana have not been together for months. The NBA star reportedly was already speaking to divorce lawyers about filing in court.
A source close to Larsa says she was fully aware the NBA star was still legally married to his wife but believes he is ready to divorce her.
Sources say Larsa and Malik bonded over the divorce. Back in 2016, Larsa famously divorced NBA legend Scottie Pippen. She recently revealed she dated rapper Future while married and Scottie didn’t care about it.
The information coming from sources close to Malik and Larsa is interesting given Montana's public reaction. She took to Instagram after seeing the paparazzi photos of Larsa and her husband on a date in Miami. The snaps were taken last month and show the two walking hand-in-hand.
She thanked everyone for supporting her during this time. Montana claimed she was completely unaware of her husband's action.
She wrote, "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."
Sources say Montana has hired a divorce lawyer and is gearing up for war in court. The two only got married in March and share one kid together.
Malik hasn't been shy about his admiration for Larsa. A couple of weeks ago he was leaving flirty comments underneath her Instagram selfies. He even used the ol' leave the comment on an old photo trick.
The Minnesota Timberwolves star commented on the snap, "I just want to take you on a date and treat you like a queen."
Larsa hasn't been bothered by the drama and continues liking Malik's photos on Instagram amid the scandal.
To add to it, a woman named Jewel Santana came forward to say she had an affair with Mikal while he was married. She was reportedly upset that he was seen with Larsa in the new paparazzi photos.
Malik hasn't publicly addressed the situation. He posted a video of himself working out in the gym but never spoke about the reports. His wife has remained silent since initially speaking out.
