Report: Jey Uso’s wife files for divorce after 12 years of marriage
Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso (real name Joshua Fatu) is reportedly going through a divorce.
TMZ published a story today reporting that, according to court documents, Uso’s wife Takecia Fatu has filed for divorce after more than 12 years of marriage. In the documents, Takecia described their marriage as ““irretrievably broken.” The couple has been married since 2014 and have two sons.
“She says they share one minor son, named Jeyce, who was born in 2012 and a son who is over 18. Takecia asked the court to award her primary physical custody of their kid, but was open to joint legal custody,” TMZ wrote.
“In her filing, Takecia also requested exclusive use of their Georgia home, child and spousal support, and attorney fees.”
It’s not clear how long Uso and Takecia have been separated. In April of this year, Uso appeared to acknowledge rumors that he was romantically involved with NXT wrestler Jaida Parker, posting “Yea, she mines…” on his Instagram stories.
Uso was asked about that Instagram post while appearing on the Nightcap podcast during WrestleMania week.
“Man, y’all know. No comment, unc,” he said. “Do I gotta say it, though? I mean, y’all see it. She the baddest one down there.”
Uso recently made it to the finals of WWE’s King of the Ring tournament before losing to Oba Femi. Last Friday on SmackDown, a number one contender’s match took place with Cody Rhodes defeating Uso. Tonight’s Raw will include Rhodes getting his shot at Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn.
