Kaitlyn Cleveland, the estranged wife of Baltimore Ravens lineman Ben Cleveland, has gone private on social media after cheating allegedly led to the end of their marriage.
In divorce documents filed by Ben, 26, in Baldwin County, Georgia on Friday, February 28 and obtained by TMZ, he listed the cause of their split as “adultery.”
Kaitlyn’s Instagram is now listed as private. As of the evening of Monday, March 3, her account was still able to be viewed publicly.
In the divorce docs, Ben listed their date of separation on or around December 29, 2024. The couple got married in July 2022.
Ben filed for divorce 16 days after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Milledgeville, Georgia. The football star was observed weaving between lanes and swerving on the road, per an arrest report shared by the NFL.
According to the report, Ben registered a .178 blood alcohol content — more than double the legal limit. He was charged with DUI and failure to maintain lane before being released on bond.
Ben and Kaitlyn met during their time at the University of Georgia, where Ben was a star on the football team.
The couple got engaged in Las Vegas in February 2020, which Ben revealed in a since-deleted Instagram post.
“If I’m being honest, your first and my last name will just sound better together and probably always will,” Ben shared alongside a photo carousel in front of the Bellagio Hotel & Casino fountains. “Nobody I’d rather spend my forever with and now we get to try that out.”
In June 2020, Ben provided an update about their wedding planning — which he joked was struggling to get off the ground.
“Two years and then some until you’re actually my wife,” Ben shared via Instagram alongside pictures from the couple’s day at the beach. “Not sure, we haven’t really started wedding planning yet and we’ve been engaged 6 months so that’s on her. But she’s gonna be my wife so that’s kinda cool.”
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 via Instagram from the Ravens’ Christmas Day game against the Houston Texans, including pictures of Ben and Kaitlyn posing on the sidelines of Houston’s NRG Stadium together.
Before she went private, Kaitlyn’s final Instagram post showed off pictures from a Mardi Gras celebration in Mobile, Alabama on February 20, just 8 days after her estranged husband’s DUI arrest. Ben was not seen in any of the photos.
