Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier had seven interceptions during his four-year NFL career, but his wife made a game-ending interception — of his text messages to a girlfriend — and their marriage is headed to a nasty conclusion.
Shazier filed for divorce from his wife Michelle on Wednesday, nearly two months after she publicly accused him of cheating. Details are unknown because the court has ordered the case to be sealed, according to TMZ.
“Michelle and I have been living apart and are currently separated,” Ryan Shazier told TMZ shortly after the gossip site broke the juice details on his alleged affair. “As we work through what comes next for our family, I ask for privacy and prayers.”
In November, Michelle Shazier exposed her husband’s text messages he allegedly had sent to another woman named Marie, accusing Shazier of being “a liar and a cheater.”
“A person that loves his family … this is what they do to their family … the WIFE … that has been there for him since day 1,” she wrote in a since-deleted post.
“Infidelity at its finest! I can’t sit here and keep hiding anymore. You can have it. I deserve better. This is Ryan … he’s a liar and a cheater!”

Shazier and Michelle Shazier had been together for seven years and were married in 2019 before they seemingly called it quits.
