SPLIT! Jalen Rose Files For Divorce From Wife & ESPN Co-Worker Molly Qerim

ESPN hosts and spouses Jalen Rose & Molly Qerim have called it quits on their marriage.  Details on their divorce news inside.

 

Folks were super surprised to find out they were even a couple back in 2016 when they first went public, and were still scratching their heads a bit when they got hitched in a low-key ceremony in 2019.  Now, former NBA baller Jalen Rose and ESPN host Molly Qerim are calling it quits.  And whether or not folks are surprised is up in the air.

According to TMZ, Jalen is the one who filed, which some folks are already saying is a bit surprising.  He actually filed papers back in April of this year.  The site also revealed that there was no prenup, but neither are asking for spousal support:

 

 

 

"It should be known -- in the docs, Jalen does not want alimony and doesn't want Molly to have it, either. We're told there was not a prenup and Molly does not want any spousal support."

 

  

Jalen has 3 children from previous relationships, and he and Molly don't have any kids together.  Back in 2018, Molly did open up about her painful struggle with endometriosis and how the treatments sent her into early menopause.

The twosome have always been quite secretive and private about their relationship, so it's not shocking the split news didn't surface sooner or that neither  of them made mention of the split on their respective ESPN shows.

Reportedly, Jalen said in court docs the marriage broke down irretrievably after Qerim moved to Connecticut.  He seemingly mostly lives in his hometown of Detroit where he co-hosts his hit ESPN show "Jalen & Jacoby" via split-screen telecast.

The two were never big on making tons of public appearances together (pictured atop in May 2019), not even after they were married.  But Molly did refer to her "husband Jalen" every now and then on air during her "First Take" hosting duties alongside Stephen A. Smith.  And Jalen would do the same sometimes, referencing his wife on his show.

All of that noticeably stopped earlier this year, as well as the few social media postings of each other.  Molly also removed "Rose" from her name on her IG profile months ago. 

They do seem to be keeping things copacetic at work, with there not being any known issues leaking out from their split tat are affecting the workplace.  Molly even got emotional on-air back in June - two months after the divorce filing - when talking about Jalen's mental health struggles as they have dealt with losing 5 family members, including Jalen's mother, over the last year.

We wish them both the best.
