Baltimore Ravens star Ben Cleveland and his wife, Kaitlyn Cleveland, had a fairytale love story before a shocking cheating allegation brought an abrupt end to their marriage.
Ben, 26, and Kaitlyn met during their time at the University of Georgia, where Ben was a star offensive lineman from 2017 to 2020. He was drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Ravens.
Kaitlyn, meanwhile, graduated with her Bachelor’s degree in Fashion and Merchandising – Brand Management in May 2022.
Before Ben was drafted and Kaitlyn earned her diploma, the couple signified their commitment to each other by getting engaged in Las Vegas in February 2020.
The pair got married in July 2022. Ben filed for divorce less than three years later.
