Dwight Howard files for divorce a third time amid unresolved disputes
NBA player Dwight Howard has filed for divorce from his ex-wife, Amy Luciani, for the third time. Court documents describe their marriage as 'irretrievably broken' with 'no hope of reconciliation'. The filing also raises concerns about Luciani's whereabouts and employment status.
Howard first submitted divorce papers in March 2025, serving Luciani at a Georgia address. Due to her uncertain permanent residence, he requested a specific process server, fearing she might avoid being served. The athlete also noted in the filing that Luciani does not currently hold a job.
This latest legal move follows a history of disputes. In December 2025, Howard's former assistant, Terrence Hudson, sued him for unpaid wages and emotional distress. Hudson claimed he was owed $40,702.06 for work performed between June and October 2025. The lawsuit was later dismissed, mirroring an earlier case from 2020 when two female staffers also sued Howard over unpaid wages and damages. Howard shares five children with five different women, though none are with Luciani. As of March 2026, no further public details have emerged about the divorce proceedings, which remain private unless disclosed in court.
The divorce filing marks Howard's third attempt to legally end his marriage to Luciani. While the case proceeds, no major updates or deadlines have been reported. The outcome will depend on court rulings and any potential responses from Luciani.
