Estranged Wife of Baltimore Ravens’ Ben Cleveland Denies Cheating Claims After Sudden Divorce Filing

The estranged wife of Baltimore Ravens lineman Ben Cleveland denied allegations of adultery raised in a divorce filing in February.

Kaitlyn Terrell Cleveland called the accusations “knowingly false” in a response submitted to the court on Thursday, June 5, according to TMZ. 

She “vehemently” denied the infidelity claims, alleging they were made in “bad faith.”

In her response, Kaitlyn said she hoped to resolve all “matters and controversies”’ surrounding their split. If she and Ben are not able to reach an agreement, however, Kaitlyn asked the judge to divide their assets and award her alimony. 

Ben filed for divorce in February and cited the reason as “adultery.” The official separation date was listed on or around December 29, 2024. 

The couple got married in July 2022. 

Days after Ben filed for divorce, Kaitlyn cryptically broke her silence about the split with the help of country singer Kelsea Ballerini. 

Kaitlyn posted lyrics to Ballerini’s 2023 song “Interlude (Full Length)” via her Instagram Story, which is about Ballerini’s own 2022 divorce from ex-husband Morgan Evans. 

“‘Cause people that I loved are just people that I knew once,” the lyrics read. “The rumors goin’ ‘round, but the truth is kinda nuanced / I wanna set it straight, but my lawyers said I shouldn’t.”

Kaitlyn has since deleted her Instagram account. 

Ben’s divorce filing came just 16 days after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He was pulled over in Milledgeville, Georgia, after he was allegedly observed weaving between lanes and swerving on the road, per an arrest report shared by the NFL.

According to the report, Ben registered a .178 blood alcohol content — more than double the legal limit.

Ben was charged with DUI and failure to maintain lane, admitting to officers he had consumed three to four beers at a country club but had not had any alcohol within the last two hours.

He was released on $1,000 bond. 

The NFL player re-signed with the Ravens in March, just weeks after his DUI arrest, on a one-year contract worth $1.17 million. 

Ben proposed to Kaitlyn in Las Vegas in February 2020, which he revealed in a since-deleted Instagram post. 

“If I’m being honest, your first and my last name will just sound better together and probably always will,” Ben wrote alongside a photo carousel in front of the Bellagio Hotel & Casino fountains. “Nobody I’d rather spend my forever with and now we get to try that out.”

In another since-deleted Instagram post from June 2020, Ben said he and Kaitlyn were taking their time with getting their nuptials in order. 

“Two years and then some until you’re actually my wife,” he wrote. “Not sure, we haven’t really started wedding planning yet and we’ve been engaged 6 months so that’s on her. But she’s gonna be my wife so that’s kinda cool.”
