Jalen Rose, Molly Qerim divorcing after three years of marriage
ESPN couple Jalen Rose and Molly Qerim have called it quits after three years of marriage.
Rose, who hosts multiple shows for ESPN, confirmed the news in a note posted to his Instagram Story on Wednesday.
“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.”
A source insisted there was no drama surrounding the split, which happened back in January.
“They were friends before they were together and are still friends,” the source said. “They saw each other at work today and it was totally normal. They worked to keep their relationship status private over the last year because they have a lot of respect for each other.”
TMZ, which obtained the couple’s divorce documents, said Rose filed in April — after the couple starred in a Gatorade commercial together.
According to the divorce documents, Rose said the marriage ended after Qerim moved to Connecticut.
Rose is not asking for alimony, and wants the same for his ex, TMZ reports, via the legal documents. The couple reportedly did not have a prenup, and Qerim is not asking for spousal support.
“First Take” host Qerim has yet to address the news. She hosted the show on Wednesday before news of the couple’s divorce broke.
Qerim has removed Rose’s name from her social media accounts.
Rose, who hosts “The Renaissance Man” podcast for The Post, and Qerim first went public with their relationship in June 2016. They tied the knot in July 2018 in a small ceremony in New York City.
