The two began dating when Waller played for the Las Vegas Raiders and, a year later, tied the knot on March 4, 2023. The tight end got traded to the New York Giants shortly after their marriage. Amidst the divorce revelation, there have been speculations about Waller’s retirement from football. But he debunked the rumors, claiming, “And it’s to the point where it’s like, man, I don’t feel like I’ve really done a lot. In some ways, my life hasn’t really started.”

Besides the divorce, Plum and Waller have an important time ahead of them in their careers. While the tight end still decides whether to return to the Giants and excel in his ninth season, Plum will kick off a new season in May and train with Team USA for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
