It looks like Tyreek Hill is running a reverse route.
On Monday, Jan. 22, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver filed for divorce from his wife of just 76 days, Keeta Vaccaro, saying the "marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken."
The next day, however, Tyreek denied that he and Keeta were headed for a split: "boy no the heck we didn't so don't put that in the air!!! We are happily married and gone stay that way," he wrote on X, clearly claiming that — despite documentation in Broward Country, Florida, that proves otherwise — he didn't file for divorce.
"I get on Twitter and see [lies]," he added with a laughing emoji.
On Wednesday, Keeta also denied there's trouble in paradise: She took to her Instagram Story to share photos of herself working out with Tyreek at a gym.
The divorce drama comes amid a slew of paternity lawsuits against Tyreek.

Two women filed paternity suits in Florida against Miami Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill in hopes of getting more child support, DailyMail.com reported on Dec. 14, 2023. The legal news emerged just a month after Tyreek married his longtime girlfriend, Keeta Vaccaro.
The children involved in the lawsuits were 10 months old and 6 months old at the time of the filings.
Tyreek already pays ex-partner Crystal Espinal $13,500 a month for the three children they share.

Back in January 2023, a woman named Brittany Lackner came forward to allege that Tyreek Hill fathered her then-unborn child. She claimed the two were intimate in Florida the previous year. In her petition, which was filed in Broward County, she argued that a prenatal paternity test had already proved that the All-Pro was the father "with greater than 99.9% probability." She even gave the baby the last name Hill.
After Soul Corazon Hill was born on Feb. 7, 2023, Tyreek allegedly demanded a second DNA test before voluntarily paying her $2,500 a month in child support, an amount Brittany called "woefully inadequate," according to DailyMail.com.
"The Father is a member of the Miami Dolphins earning a salary of $30,000,000 a year pursuant to a four-year contract … in stark contrast, the Mother is unemployed, has no income, is in debt, is on Medicaid, and has no means of support," legal documents stated.

Tyreek Hill filed a dueling paternity petition in Kansas proposing joint custody arrangements for Soul Corazon Hill, his son with Brittany Lackner.
He also said he was "willing and able to perform parental duties for his minor child should he be determined to be the father," DailyMail.com reported.

In May 2023, another woman alleged that Tyreek Hill fathered her newborn daughter, Trae Love Hill, following an August 2022 tryst.
Kimberly Baker said in legal docs that it was costing her $10,000 a month to care for the child but that Tyreek was only sending her $2,500 a month.
Like he did before with Brittany Lackner regarding their son, Soul Corazon Hill, Tyreek tried to get the lawsuit dropped. He later accepted that he was the father but argued that Los Angeles-based Kimberly had no grounds to sue him in Florida.
"Before an unmarried father may be accorded standing to assert an interest in parental responsibility and/or timesharing, he must demonstrate that he has manifested substantial concern for the welfare of the child," Kimberly's lawyers said at the time. "The Father has in fact demonstrated utter and abject unconcern for the child in wholly failing to act as a parent and is completely failing to support the child."

In late December 2023, DailyMail.com reported that Tyreek Hill also fathered a son, Tyreek D'Shaun Hill Jr., on March 12, 2023. (That's three children with three different women in just four months.)
"I can't speak on anything else that he has going on outside of our parenting relationship because it's simply none of my business," Tyreek Jr.'s mother, Camille Valmon, told the outlet. "But what I will say is he is a great father not only to our son but to all of his children."

Tyreek Hill's problems weren't limited to paternity and child support matters.
On Jan. 3, 2024, the star receiver's $7 million Miami mansion caught on fire. Firefighters successfully battled the blaze that saw them punching through the smoking roof to douse the flames trapped inside.
The following day as Tyreek missed practice to be with his family, officials announced that the fire was accidentally sparked by a child playing with a lighter in a bedroom.
"It is very difficult for anybody, obviously, to have your home catch on fire," the star receiver's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told 7News, "but Hill was handling it with as much poise as you can hope."

In spite of his familial drama, Tyreek Hill had a spectacular 2023-2024 season with the Miami Dolphins. At one point he was on pace to become the first player in NFL history to record 2,000 receiving yards in a season, although a minor injury derailed his quest for the record book. He finished the regular season with 1,799 receiving yards.
