Pistons star Malik Beasley's wife files for separation as he moves on to new Instagram model flame

After several turbulent years of marriage, Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley’s model wife Montana Yao has filed for separation from the NBA star, DailyMail.com has confirmed. 

TMZ and People.com were the first to report the split, which comes 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 is now filing for separation, citing ‘irreconcilable differences,’ according to court documents obtained by People.com.

The couple shares two children.

Beasley’s love life doesn’t appear to be suffering, though. DailyMail.com has been 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. An attorney representing Beasley has corrected the record to DailyMail.com, explaining that Yao filed for separation – and not divorce – as had previously been reported.

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.

As they drove off, the couple claimed, they could see Beasley pointing his gun at them.

The couple then called 9-1-1.

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.

The search warrant for the surveillance cameras revealed that Beasley was seen 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 16.6 points a game while making 42 percent of his 3-point attempts. The Pistons are currently 35-27 and have a firm grasp on the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs heading into the regular season’s final weeks.
