Having Recently Divorced $120 Million Bound Erik Spoelstra, Ex-Wife Nikki Coaches Women on Financial Life
Follow Us
The last few months have been a rollercoaster of emotions for Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra. Earlier this month, Spoelstra signed a historic 8-year over $120 million contract extension with the Heat, making it the most committed coaching contract in NBA history. While he was taking immense strides in his professional career, he was going through a rough patch in his personal life. Spoelstra finalized his divorce with his wife, Nikki Spoelstra, in November, ending their 7-year-long marriage.
2 months after their divorce, Erik Spoelstra’s ex-wife Nikki took the first step to coaching women on their financial lives amid tough times. In the latest episode of her podcast, The Know with Nikki Spo, Erik Spoelstra’s ex-wife touched upon the topic of ‘Divorce’. For a professional outlook, Nikki called Michelle Suarez as her primary guest for the episode. Suarez is an attorney and the Founder of The Divorce Broker, a boutique firm for legal guidance for women who are going through or contemplating the process of divorce. During the episode, Nikki and Michelle discussed the importance of professional guidance for complicated divorce processes, including pre-nuptial and post-nuptial, settlement agreements, and more.

“I think that a lot of people feel alone in general, not just in divorces, but with whatever they’re going through. So finding a community of people that can support is so important.” Nikki said during the episode. Nikki’s guest, Michelle, got the inspiration to start a firm after she went through her divorce and wondered what it must be like to go through the process alone. Nikki was familiar with the situation as she faced multiple challenges during her divorce from the Miami Heat head coach.
