Baltimore Ravens lineman Ben Cleveland has filed for divorce from his wife, Kaitlyn Cleveland, just weeks after he was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). According to court records in Georgia, Ben submitted the divorce documents in Baldwin County on February 28, citing the reason for the divorce as "adultery". The official separation date was listed as on or around December 29, 2024. Ben and Kaitlyn got married in July 2022, and the filing came 16 days after Ben was arrested on suspicion of DUI on February 12. He was pulled over in Milledgeville, Georgia, after being observed weaving between lanes and swerving on the road, and registered a blood alcohol content of 0.178, more than double the legal limit.

The arrest report shared by the NFL stated that Ben was charged with DUI and failure to maintain lane before being released on bond. The Baltimore Ravens have been contacted for comment, but so far, no word has been received. Ben, 26, is set to hit free agency when the new league year opens later this month. He was drafted by the Ravens in the third round of the 2021 draft out of the University of Georgia and has played 54 games for the Ravens. The team has been one of the best in the AFC since Lamar Jackson came into his own, and last year, they added running back Derrick Henry to the mix.

Ben and Kaitlyn last appeared on social media together on December 26, 2024, three days before their listed separation date. Kaitlyn shared a carousel of photos from the Ravens' Christmas Day game against the Houston Texans, including a couple of pictures of Ben and Kaitlyn on the sidelines together. Since then, Ben has been noticeably absent from Kaitlyn's Instagram posts. On February 7, she posted a series of photos from the Virgin Islands, and on February 20, she posted a series of photos from a Mardi Gras celebration in Mobile, Alabama, seemingly without Ben. The divorce filing has sparked interest in the personal life of the NFL player, with many fans and followers taking to social media to discuss the news.
