After three years of marriage, Jalen Rose and his wife, ESPN’s First Take host Molly Qerim, are reportedly calling it quits, TMZ reports.
Rose filed for divorce back in April, claiming that the couple’s marriage broke down after Qerim moved to Connecticut. The former NBA player, who’s now a co-host of ESPN’s popular podcast and afternoon TV show, Jalen & Jacoby, confirmed the news on Wednesday via his Instagram Story.
“After being separated for almost a year, Molly and I have officially decided to go our separate ways,” he wrote. “We both agree remaining friends and colleagues is the best course of action for our relationship moving forward. Please respect our privacy at this time.”
The news arrives five years after Rose and Qerim went public with their relationship, and just over three years after they tied the knot.
