Malik Beasley Moves On: Divorce from Montana Yao and New Relationship Revealed

NBA player Malik Beasley has officially parted ways with his wife, Montana Yao, after years of a tumultuous relationship. Montana filed for divorce just one day before their fifth wedding anniversary, marking the end of their often rocky marriage.

This news has stirred attention, especially since Malik has already moved on with a new girlfriend, an Instagram model and video game streamer named Natalie, who has over three million followers.

A History of Public Drama

Beasley and Yao’s relationship has been filled with ups and downs, many of which played out in the public eye. One of the first major incidents was when Beasley got into a physical altercation in an apartment lobby with former NFL player Su’a Cravens, allegedly over Montana.

This raised speculation that there had been some unresolved connections between Montana and Cravens, potentially contributing to the tensions in her marriage with Beasley.

Then, in 2020, Beasley shocked many by publicly dating Larsa Pippen, ex-wife of NBA legend Scottie Pippen. The news became even more controversial when it was revealed that Montana had no prior knowledge of the affair.

At the time, she claimed she was blindsided by the photos of Beasley and Larsa in Miami. Soon after, she and her son were reportedly forced to leave the family home, fueling even more speculation about the state of their marriage.

While Beasley later apologized publicly to Montana and their son, expressing regret for his actions, it appeared that the damage had already been done. Their relationship continued, but cracks remained, and now, it seems, Montana has had enough.

Legal Separation & Malik’s New Romance

Montana Yao officially filed for divorce in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences. This marks her second attempt at filing, as she previously did so in 2020 following the Larsa Pippen scandal. Despite briefly reconciling in 2021, their marriage never fully recovered.

Meanwhile, Beasley has wasted no time moving on. His new girlfriend, Natalie, is an Instagram model turned video game streamer. Many are questioning his decision to get involved with another high-profile woman rather than opting for a low-key relationship, given his past relationship troubles.

The Bigger Picture

Beasley’s personal decisions off the court have often overshadowed his basketball career. From the legal trouble he faced after brandishing a weapon at a couple house-hunting near his home to his repeated public relationship drama, his name has frequently made headlines for the wrong reasons.

While he has started to find stability in his NBA career, bouncing between teams before landing with the Detroit Pistons, his personal life remains chaotic. Montana’s decision to finally walk away suggests that she has realized the emotional toll of the relationship and is ready to move on.

Whether Beasley’s latest relationship will last remains uncertain, but for now, he seems focused on moving forward without looking back.
