Divorce, Adultery, and DUI Scandal Rock Ravens Lineman Ben Cleveland’s Offseason

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Ben Cleveland has faced a challenging offseason marked by personal turmoil. Recent court documents reveal that Cleveland filed for divorce from his wife, Kaitlyn Terrell, citing adultery as the reason for their separation. The divorce papers were filed in Baldwin County, Georgia, on February 28, following Cleveland’s DUI arrest in the same county just 16 days prior.

Details regarding the allegations of adultery against Kaitlyn Terrell were not elaborated upon in the court documents, leaving the exact circumstances surrounding the situation unclear. The documents list the date of separation as December 29, 2024, noting that the couple had tied the knot on July 21, 2022.

Despite the public nature of the divorce filing, both Ben Cleveland and Kaitlyn Terrell have chosen to remain silent on the matter as of Tuesday. However, a glimpse into their relationship was shared with the public through a heartwarming photo posted by Kaitlyn on Facebook, capturing a sweet moment shared on the sidelines before a Ravens game in Houston.

Earlier this offseason, Cleveland found himself in legal trouble after being arrested for driving under the influence with a reported blood alcohol concentration of .178 during a traffic stop on February 12. The 26-year-old offensive lineman attributed his intoxication to consuming “approximately 3-4 beers” before getting behind the wheel.

As a free agent in the upcoming season, Cleveland’s future with the Ravens remains uncertain. The former Georgia guard has amassed 54 games and seven starts throughout his four-year career with the team, with his recent season seeing him play in 17 games without any starts. The Ravens’ 2024 season culminated in a heartbreaking loss to the Bills in the AFC Divisional Round.
