Khadijah Haqq and Bobby McCray are officially calling it quits after 13 years of marriage. The former NFL player has filed for divorce, one year after the couple publicly announced their separation.
Bobby cited irreconcilable differences in his August 16, 2023 filing and requested joint legal and physical custody of their three children—Christian, Celine, and Kapri—along with his son from a previous relationship. He is also seeking spousal support from Khadijah. The divorce marks the end of a long relationship that spanned over a decade.
The couple’s official separation date is listed as July 7, 2023, which was followed by a public statement from Khadijah a month later. In her August 2023 Instagram post, Khadijah opened up about the emotional toll the split had taken on her.
She spoke about turning to prayer and how family remains a significant priority in her life. While she reflected on the love and years she shared with Bobby, she acknowledged that their separation was the best decision for both of them, given their evolving lives.
Khadijah explained that the decision to end their marriage was not made in haste. The couple had consciously kept much of their relationship private for the sake of their family and only chose to share the news publicly as they began the process of co-parenting. Her message was one of honesty and gratitude for the support she has received, signaling that both she and Bobby are committed to moving forward respectfully and with their children’s well-being in mind.
Despite the formal divorce filing, Khadijah has yet to respond legally to the petition, as reported by People. Her public remarks since then have focused more on personal growth rather than the ongoing legal process.
On August 15, she posted a photo on Instagram that hinted at resilience and a positive mindset, with the caption, “The come back is greater than the set back,” suggesting she is finding strength in this difficult time.
As they move through the divorce process, both Khadijah and Bobby appear to be maintaining a focus on their family, particularly their roles as co-parents. While they are ending their marriage, they seem determined to navigate the future with respect and care, keeping their children’s needs at the forefront. Their story continues to unfold as they adjust to their new reality.
