The estranged wife of NFL lineman Ben Cleveland shared a cryptic message Thursday on her Instagram Stories, days after news of his divorce filing alleging adultery broke.
In a screensH๏τ captured by TMZ, Kaitlyn Terrell posted the lyrics from singer Kelsea Ballerini’s song “Interlude” that read: “‘Cause people that I loved are just people that I knew once. The rumors goin’ ’round but the truth is kinda nuanced. I wanna set it straight, but my lawyer says I shouldn’t.”
The song is part of Ballerini’s 2023 record “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat” that was inspired by her divorce from Morgan Evans.
Cleveland, a fourth-year guard with the Baltimore Ravens, filed divorce papers in Baldwin County, Ga., in February — the same month he was arrested for a DUI.
The former Georgia Bulldogs product was pulled over in Milledgeville, Ga., on the evening of Feb. 12 and had a .178 BAC, well over the .08 legal limit.
Cleveland, 26, told authorities he had consumed “approximately 3-4 beers.”
He was cited for a DUI and failure to maintain lane.
Weeks later, Cleveland filed for divorce “because of adultery.”
Cleveland and Terrell got married in July 2022 and separated “on or about Dec. 29, 2024,” according to the docs obtained by TMZ.
Cleveland, a Georgia native, has spent his entire NFL career with the Ravens, who selected him in the third round (No. 94 overall) in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The 6-foot-6 lineman has appeared in 54 games for Baltimore and is an impending free agent.
The Ravens finished the 2024 season at 12-5. They reached the Divisional Round of the playoffs before losing a 27-25 heartbreaker to the Bills.
