Detroit Pistons star Malik Beasley has filed divorce from model wife Montana Yao weeks after appearing to move on to another Instagram model.
Beasley’s attorney Steven Haney tells DailyMail.com he filed the divorce papers on Thursday with the Third Judicial Circuit Court in Wayne County, Michigan. DailyMail.com has reached out to the judge’s office for records.
Yao filed for separation from Beasley weeks earlier, Haney confirms. At the time, DailyMail.com was told Yao was filing for divorce, but Haney now says that was incorrect and she only filed for separation.
TMZ and People.com were the first to report the split on March 4 – four years after he was caught having an affair with Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa. Beasley and Yao ultimately reunited after he publicly apologized on social media, but she has since filed for separation, citing ‘irreconcilable differences,’ according to court documents obtained by People.com.
Beasley and Yao share two children.
His love life doesn’t appear to be suffering, though. DailyMail.com was previously told he’s romantically involved with Instagram model and gamer Natalia Garibotto.

The Pistons guard appeared to confirm as much on X, describing a ʙικιɴι-clad Garibotto as ‘La mine’ on the social media platform.
Attempts to contact Yao and Garibotto were unsuccessful.
A 28-year-old from Atlanta, Beasley is a nine-year NBA veteran in his first season with the Pistons. The former Florida State guard is making $6 million this year and has career earnings approaching $60 million.
He’s also had legal issues, including an arrest on firearm and drug charges that resulted in a 78-day stint in a Minnesota jail.
The incident took place in September of 2020, when Beasley was still playing for the Timberwolves. During a ‘Parade of Homes’ tour through his Plymouth, Minnesota neighborhood, an unidentified couple and their 13-year-old child inadvertently pulled up to a roped-off property being rented by Beasley.
As they decided to look for another home to view, a man matching Beasley’s description allegedly tapped a gun against their car window and told them to get off his property.
The couple then called 9-1-1, claiming Beasley was brandishing a firearm as they drove away.

Police arrived at Beasley’s rental, where they found 835 grams (1.8 pounds) of marijuana, a 12-gauge sH๏τgun, a handgun, and an automatic rifle, which matched the description of the one he allegedly pointed at the family as they drove away.
Surveillance cameras showed Beasley retrieving the gun from the garage and returning it to a mudroom closet around the time of the alleged incident.
Furthermore, the couple was able to identify both Beasley and the gun, according to police.
Beasley is the son of actors Michael and Deena Beasley, and his grandfather, John Beasley, is a veteran stage performer who also appeared in films such as Rudy, Little Big League, and The Mighty Ducks.
Beasley has been enjoying a resurgent year in Detroit, where he’s averaging 16.2 points a game while making 41.9 percent of his 3-point attempts. The Pistons are currently 39-31 and have a firm grasp on the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs heading into the regular season’s final weeks.
