Dwight Howard's wife Amy Luciani files for divorce after 6 months of marriage
Dwight Howard's whirlwind marriage to rapper and reality star Amy Luciani has come to an abrupt end. Luciani filed for divorce on July 1, 2025, just six months after they tied the knot in a private ceremony in January. Court documents cite that the marriage is 'irretrievably broken' and request equal division of marital assets and alimony. A mutual restraining order was filed one day later. The couple first went public in December 2024 with an engagement announcement on social media, followed by wedding-related posts and a trip to Thailand, which Howard hinted was their honeymoon. The relationship was largely kept out of the spotlight prior to their engagement. Luciani, born Amber Rose in Detroit, rose to fame through her music and her appearances on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. A former member of the girl group Entrance, she began her solo rap career in Atlanta, releasing her first EP Amy's World in 2023. Outside of entertainment, she is also known for her charity work supporting unhoused communities and has authored a children's book on body safety. This was Howard's most public relationship since his split from WNBA star Te'a Cooper in 2021. The situation remains developing, and neither party has publicly commented on the divorce filing.
