The article details the high-profile 2026 divorce settlement between NFL offensive guard Ben Cleveland and his wife, Kaitlyn Terrell Cleveland.
The couple, who were college sweethearts at the University of Georgia, married in July 2022 but separated in December 2024.
The split turned contentious in early 2025 when Ben filed for divorce citing “adultery,” an allegation Kaitlyn vehemently denied as “knowingly false.”
This filing occurred just 16 days after Ben’s own arrest for a DUI.
Following a period of legal tension and a suspension for Ben under the NFL’s substance-abuse policy, the pair reached a comprehensive settlement in early 2026.
Key Settlement Terms:
- Financial Payout: Ben agreed to a $550,000 lump-sum payment to Kaitlyn.
- Assets: Kaitlyn retains a 2024 Land Rover (to be paid off by Ben), while Ben keeps two Georgia properties.
- Privacy: A strict non-disparagement and total privacy clause prevents both parties from discussing the marriage or split publicly.
Now playing for the Los Angeles Chargers, Cleveland is looking for a fresh start on the field while this settlement provides a clean, albeit expensive, break for both parties.
