Right after the filing, Plum shared a heartbreaking message on social media. “I’m devastated. I went through fire for this man, but now I see it’s time to leave,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.
“God has given me an incredible life and I am truly grateful for the deep love of my family and friends,” the Las Vegas Aces star continued.
“One day I will share my story, today is not that day. Thank you for the grace to process my pain, forgive and move on. Today and every day I will continue to choose joy . Lots of love KP.”
Plum ended his message by writing “Philippians 1:6.” The Bible verse means: “He who began a good work in you will complete it in the day of Jesus Christ.” »

Just weeks before filing for divorce, Waller spoke to PEOPLE about his future plans and how he plans to retire from football.
“I’m at the point where I’m like, ‘Is this something I want to continue to invest my time, my body, my mind in?’ And I have to make a decision on that,” Waller told about his potential departure from the NFL.

“And it’s to the point where it’s like, man, I don’t feel like I’ve really done much. In a way, my life hasn’t really started.”
Waller added: “I’m a guy who’s interested in more than just football,” Waller said. “And football has done a lot for me, I’m very grateful, but it’s a chore, and you have to be 100% ready to adapt to it, and I have to decide if I’m 100% or not.
Plum will kick off a new WNBA season in May and is currently training with Team USA for the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris.
