The Announcement
LaVar made the announcement publicly, confirming that the couple has decided to go their separate ways. The split comes after Tina suffered a stroke in 2017 that left her with lasting health challenges.
LaVar had previously been vocal about caring for Tina during her recovery and the toll it took on the entire family.
Family Impact
The Ball family has been in the public eye since LaVar launched Big Baller Brand and began making bold predictions about his sons' NBA futures. Through it all, Tina was a constant presence, even after her health crisis limited her public appearances.
All three Ball brothers have remained close with both parents throughout the years.
Public Reaction
Fans expressed mixed reactions online. Some offered support while others questioned the timing given Tina's health struggles. LaVar has not gone into further detail about what led to the decision.
Bottom Line
After 30 years and three sons who all made it to the NBA, one of sports' most recognizable families is entering a new chapter.
