Wife of NBA Legend, Dwight Howard Files for Divorce Just Six Months After Wedding

NBA legend Dwight Howard is heading for divorce just six months after tying the knot with rapper and reality TV star Amy Luciani.

According to court documents filed on July 1 in Georgia, Luciani cited that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” and said there are “no prospects for reconciliation.” She is requesting alimony and a fair division of marital assets. A mutual restraining order was also filed the following day.

Howard, 39, and Luciani got married on January 11, 2025, just weeks after publicly announcing their engagement in December 2024. The couple had shared loved-up photos and videos on social media, celebrating their new life together.

Luciani, known for her role on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, is also an entrepreneur and children’s book author. In 2023, she launched her first book titled Amy’s World.

Neither Howard nor Luciani has made a public statement regarding the divorce. Howard, who now plays in the Big3 League following a decorated 18-season NBA career, was recently named to the 2025 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class.
