Skylar Diggins Files for Divorce from Husband Daniel Smith

Seattle Storm star Skylar Diggins has filed for divorce from Daniel Smith, her husband of eight years.

Diggins, who plays guard for the WNBA team, married Smith in a Chicago ceremony in 2017. She filed for dissolution of marriage in King County Superior Court in Washington.

The date of the couple’s separation is listed as Nov. 1, 2024, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE. In the request, the documents read, “This marriage is irretrievably broken.” The couple does not have a prenuptial agreement, and spousal support is not needed.

The couple share two children, Rowen Seven Smith, 6, and Ana Lia Irie Smith, 2. They have agreed that Smith will pay child support by way of daycare expenses, educational expenses and post-secondary school (college or vocational school) expenses.

At a press conference on April 29, Diggins, 34, told reporters to drop the “Smith” from her last name, saying people have always called her “whatever you want to call me anyways.”

Smith once played wide receiver for Notre Dame University. Following a career-ending injury, he pivoted into the art world, establishing Doperman Studios in Dallas, per Mandatory.

The WNBA star previously opened up to PEOPLE about the legacy in womens’s sports she hopes to leave for her daughter.

“I have the thought that one day I want my daughter to have the opportunity to play in this league and [I’m] just doing my part to make sure that’s a possibility,” Diggins told PEOPLE in 2020.

“We have a lot of great players who have a lot of great stories,” she continued. “A lot of people didn’t think that the WNBA would last 20 years, but we’re still here and we’re still standing. [I want] to encourage and motivate young girls or anybody to pay attention to the league.”
