NBA star Dwight Howard has filed for divorce from his wife Amber Howard, just days after she accused him of drug addiction on social media. The couple, married since January 2025, had previously attempted to split but reconciled. Howard's filing cites an irretrievably broken marriage and seeks exclusive use of their Georgia home.
Oh honey, the tea is scalding on this one! Dwight Howard, the eight-time All-Star, dashed to court on Monday, March 9, 2026, to file for divorce from Amber Howard—better known to fans as Amy Luciani from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. According to TMZ, he declared their marriage, which kicked off on January 11, 2025, 'irretrievably broken' and demanded exclusive rights to their mansion in Suwanee, Georgia. But plot twist: sources tell TMZ that Amber was racing to file too, same day, but Dwight beat her to the punch—his papers got processed first.
Despite the drama, the pair is still shacking up in that Georgia pad for now. This isn't their first rodeo; Amber pulled the divorce trigger back in July 2025, six months post-wedding, seeking a fair split of assets and alimony, but they patched things up after friends urged her to stay. Sources say this split feels final this time.
The filing dropped hot on the heels of Amber's explosive Instagram Live over the weekend, where she spilled about calling cops on Dwight three times in their barely 14-month marriage. 'This is not him. This is trauma... he needs help,' she tearfully claimed, pouring out containers of white powder on camera as proof of his alleged drug struggles. She said CPS swooped in three times in under two months, ultimately taking their daughter—wait, clarification: Dwight's got five kids from past relationships, no joint ones with Amber, but she insisted the issues hit the stepkids hard. Luciani even recorded Dwight allegedly coaching their 12-year-old son to lie about her.
And it gets messier: Gwinnett County Police confirmed to TMZ three calls to the home in the last two weeks—a suicide threat, domestic incident, and theft report. Exact deets? Still under wraps. Meanwhile, Dwight played it cool, cheesing on the Jumbotron at the Lakers-Knicks game courtside with his son David, waving to fans like nothing's up. No comment from him on the claims.
Enter the ex: Royce Reed, mother of three of Dwight's kids, didn't miss a beat, posting an Instagram Story with a Rocky meme yelling 'Throw the damn towel!' captioned 'Yikes!' to shade the sudden split. 😳 Police logs also note Dwight was in Cali with his son while Amber stayed in Atlanta. So, is this the end of the whirlwind romance, or just another dramatic timeout?
