Overview
- LaVar Ball publicly announced the end of his nearly 30-year marriage on a late June livestream with N3on, saying Tina “decided to go her own way” and that he has started dating someone else.
- Lonzo Ball responded on the Ball in the Family podcast on July 1 by saying their mother “didn't wanna leave” and was “damn near forced to leave,” and that he helped her move into a new home.
- Lonzo said both parents are doing well separately and that he loves them both, and he explicitly rejected social-media speculation that the split was caused by LaVar's earlier foot amputation.
- Tina Ball has not made any public statement to confirm either account, and current reporting rests on on-stream and podcast remarks rather than independent verification.
- The family’s public profile and business ventures have amplified interest in the dispute, and coverage is likely to continue focusing on on-platform statements from family members and any future comment from Tina Ball.
