Why NFL and NBA Stars Like Tyreek Hill and Dwight Howard See Marriage as a Risky Cash Grab

Tyreek Hill has entered the realm of NFL and NBA athletes navigating complex family dynamics, often finding themselves obligated to significant financial settlements. As the wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, he recently signed a substantial $90 million contract, with $65 million guaranteed, ensuring he is financially equipped to support his numerous children. His tumultuous divorce from Keeta Vaccaro has finally concluded, resulting in a hefty settlement for her. Vaccaro received a one-time payment of $500,000, monthly "spending money" ranging from $20,000 to $50,000, $100,000 for a new vehicle, and exclusive rights to their $5.5 million Miami residence, for which Hill will cover the mortgage and utilities. Additionally, he is responsible for their daughter Capri’s health insurance. Amid Hill's legal tribulations, including a civil lawsuit from an Instagram model related to an injury, public scrutiny continues to rise regarding his marital decisions. In a comparable situation, former NBA star Dwight Howard faces his own divorce challenges after a brief marriage.
