With Only 6 Months of Marriage, She Could Walk Away with $50 Million: The Curious Case of Amber Rose Howard

With Only 6 Months of Marriage, She Could Walk Away with $50 Million: The Curious Case of Amber Rose Howard

In the USA – Celebrity Gossip.

The news as it trends.

Reality star and rapper Amber Rose Howard, also known by her stage name Amy Luciani, is trending after allegedly filing for divorce from former NBA superstar Dwight Howard just six months into their marriage.

The couple tied the knot on January 11, 2025, but by July 1, Amber filed court papers in Georgia, citing that the marriage was “irretrievably broken” with “no prospects for reconciliation”.

The reason behind the sudden split remains unclear, but the internet is buzzing with speculation.

Amber, known for her appearances on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta and her 2023 album Amy’s World, is requesting alimony and an equitable division of marital assets.

She has also deleted all traces of Dwight from her social media.

The divorce filing comes just weeks after Howard mourned the death of his dog and was involved in a courtside scuffle during a BIG3 League game.

Fans are stunned by the collapse of what seemed like a whirlwind romance.

The couple had only gone public with their relationship in December 2024, announcing their engagement on Instagram.

Now, just months later, they’re headed for a legal split.

Amber has since responded to rumors that she’s seeking a massive payout.

In a now-viral Instagram story, she claimed she was the one who suggested a prenuptial agreement, but Howard declined.

“I told him, ‘I want to sign a prenup because I believe what you’ve worked for is yours,’” she wrote. “I do not want any of his assets. Not a car. Not a business. Not even 30 cents”.

Still, legal experts say that under Georgia’s equitable distribution laws, she could walk away with a significant portion of the marital estate — especially since no prenup was signed.

Some divorce attorneys estimate she could be entitled to as much as $50 million, depending on how the court views the division of assets.

So, who is Dwight Howard?

Howard, 39, is a former NBA champion and eight-time All-Star.

He played 18 seasons in the NBA and earned over $245 million in salary alone. As of 2025, his net worth is estimated at $140 million.

He currently plays in Ice Cube’s BIG3 League and has appeared on shows like Dancing with the Stars and Special Forces.

While neither party has publicly addressed the divorce in detail, Amber’s cryptic posts suggest emotional exhaustion and a desire to move on. Dwight, meanwhile, was recently spotted vacationing in Jamaica.

Whether this ends in a quiet settlement or a drawn-out legal battle, one thing is certain: this is no ordinary celebrity breakup.

It’s a high-profile split with millions — and reputations — on the line.
