Jey Uso's Divorce
WWE Star Jey Uso's Wife Files Divorce in Georgia; Star Addresses Fan Comments
Key Points
Jey Uso publicly addressed the divorce with a pointed social media message, declaring in effect that he’s a grown man and asking fans to leave his family out of the discussion, including the phrase “I'M A GROWN A** MAN and leave her TF out of it too LAMFS.”
Court filings show Takecia Fatu seeks exclusive use of the Georgia home and asks the court to require Uso to secure alternate living arrangements during proceedings, in addition to seeking primary physical custody of Jeyce, potential joint legal custody, and support/fees.
The younger son involved in the custody matter is Jeyce (born in 2012), with an older son reported to be over 18, according to court documents.
There are conflicting reports on when Jey Uso and Takecia Fatu were married, with some sources listing February 13, 2014, and others citing January 8, 2015.
Some reports note a second son named Jaciyah in addition to Jeyce, highlighting the family’s two sons; Jaciyah appears in coverage alongside Jeyce in later reports.
WWE star Jey Uso is heading for divorce after his wife, Takecia Fatu, filed court papers in Fayette County, Georgia, on June 24, according to Perth Now. The filing cites an irretrievably broken marriage after 12 years together. Takecia is seeking primary physical custody of their younger son, Jeyce, exclusive use of the family home, and child and spousal support.
Uso quickly addressed the split on social media, telling fans to back off. "I'M A GROWN A** MAN and leave her TF out of it too LAMFS," he wrote. The message was blunt: stay out of his family's business.
What Takecia Fatu Is Asking the Court For
The court filing lays out several specific demands, according to Khel Now. Takecia wants primary physical custody of Jeyce, the couple's younger son. She is also seeking joint legal custody, child support, spousal support, and attorney fees from Uso.
On top of custody, Takecia wants exclusive use of the Georgia home. She is also asking the court to require Uso to find alternate living arrangements while the case plays out. The filing does not mention any third-party allegations as a reason for the split.
Two Sons, One Custody Battle, Conflicting Marriage Dates
The couple has two sons. Jeyce, born in 2012, is the minor named in the custody filing. Their older son is reported to be over 18 and is not part of the custody matter, according to NT News.
There is some confusion over when the couple married. Some reports list the wedding date as February 13, 2014. Others say it was January 8, 2015. Either way, the marriage lasted over a decade before Takecia filed to end it. A second son named Jaciyah also appears in some coverage alongside Jeyce.
Rumors About Jey Uso and NXT Star Jaida Parker
Online speculation has linked Uso to NXT wrestler Jaida Parker since word of the divorce spread. The rumors spread quickly on social media, according to The Mercury. Neither Uso nor Parker has confirmed any relationship.
The divorce filing itself makes no mention of Parker or any other person. Uso's social media post appeared aimed at shutting down exactly this kind of talk. He did not deny or confirm the rumors directly — he simply told fans to stay out of it.
