I'm hurting - Dwight Howard speaks out amid fears he could lose half of his $140 MILLION wealth after his wife filed for divorce

The NBA star has spoken out with heartbreak after seeing his whirlwind marriage crumble, facing the devastating risk of losing half his fortune.

Dwight Howard may have survived the NBA’s toughest courts, but nothing could have prepared him for this. 

Just six months after marrying rapper and reality TV personality Amy Luciani, the former NBA star is staring down the barrel of a messy  and potentially multimillion-dollar divorce.

Pulse Sports earlier reported Dwight Howard’s wife Amy Luciani, filed for divorce in Georgia, citing the marriage as “irretrievably broken,” with no hope for reconciliation.

The court documents, as reported by People, also reveal Luciani’s request for spousal support, legal fees, and an equitable split of assets — all without a prenup in place.

Howard, 39, recently broke his silence taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, July 8, with an emotional post that read: “Hurting, but still smiling, still fighting, still believing.”

The message, brief but deeply telling, seems to reflect the pain of personal loss layered with spiritual resilience.

While heartbreak is one thing, what’s at stake financially is another. 

Howard’s net worth is currently estimated at $140 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth, and Luciani is reportedly seeking half of that huge fortune.

That could mean a potential $70 million loss, as well as possible monthly spousal payments, depending on how the case plays out.

Legal analysts say the absence of a prenuptial agreement places Howard in a “precarious financial position.” 

The couple’s whirlwind romance including engagement and marriage in less than two months, may not have allowed time for asset protection.

Meanwhile, Howard, now playing in the BIG3 League, remains active in basketball. 

But this legal storm could define his post-NBA legacy.

Though neither side has confirmed the cause of the split, signs were evident.

Amy, 35, had deleted all images of Dwight from her Instagram page before the filing, and removed his name from her bio.

Sources told Page Six that Amy also filed for a mutual restraining order, which indicates potential deeper tensions behind the scenes.

The fairytale is over, but the drama may just be starting.
