On Wednesday, court documents obtained by TMZ show that Jalen Rose filed for divorce from "First Take" moderator Molly Qerim back in April 2021. In an Instagram story, Rose revealed that the pair have been officially separated for a year. "After being separated for almost a year, Molly and I have officially decided to go our separate ways," Rose said on social media, according to USA Today. "We both agree remaining friends and colleagues is the best course of action for our relationship moving forward. Please respect our privacy at this time." According to the court documents obtained by TMZ, Rose is not seeking alimony and Qerim is not asking for spousal support. They did not sign a prenup and Rose was moved to file for divorce after Qerim moved from their home to Connecticut.
While they may be getting a divorce, a source close to the couple told the New York Post that they are still friends and ended things amicably. "They were friends before they were together and are still friends," a source told the New York Post. "They saw each other at work today and it was totally normal. They worked to keep their relationship status private over the last year because they have a lot of respect for each other."
