Longtime Dallas Cowboys QB Troy Aikman Announces Divorce

January 29, 2011DivorceWayne Ward

Troy Aikman confirmed to the Dallas Morning News that he and his wife Rhonda have separated and will divorce. The couple have been married for ten years and have two children. Rhonda Aikman also has a daughter from a previous relationship. The couple did not announce a reason for the split.

Aikman, a legendary quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, won three Super Bowl championships with the franchise and led the team to numerous other NFC Division titles during his career from 1989 to 2001. Before the couple married in 2000, Aikman was known as a sought-after bachelor, dating Hollywood starlets like Sandra Bullock and Janine Turner. Rhonda Aikman was a publicist when they met.

Since retiring from the NFL, Aikman has started another lucrative career as a sports analyst for Fox News. He also hosts a weekly Dallas sports radio show. He will be the lead analyst for Super Bowl XLV, hosted in Dallas next weekend, and may have plans to return to the NFL, this time in a front-office role.

It’s unclear when the couple separated – some speculate it actually occurred last November when Rhonda bought her own home in a Dallas neighborhood. With two daughters under ten, the soon-to-be ex-spouses presumably are planning to remain in the Dallas area to share custody of their children.

The reticent sports celebrity couple have asked for privacy and the terms of their marital dissolution have not been disclosed to the media.

Mr. Ward is an energetic attorney who has developed clear definitions of proper legal pathways for solving complex social problems. My case involved the kidnapping of our daughter and other legal issues. It is clear that Alzheimers, dementia, and greed bring new components to our American Democracy. Mr. Ward is an exceptional lawyer and is perfect in his judgement of people and their actions. He is level-headed and focussed and at the same time empathetic and compassionate. He is a dedicated profession and his clients well-being. He is patient and communicates effectively with his clients throughout the legal process.

I retained Mr. Ward after careful research and a personal recommendation. You can't always believe what you read on a posted review. However, in my case I can only add to those endorsements. Mr. Ward's knowledge of the legal system and Texas law have been honed over 40 years. His reputation and relationships in Tarrant County have been built on integrity and respect. Mr. Ward is very personable and caring. He fights for what is right and just for all of his clients.
His office runs like clockwork due to a professional and caring staff. My experience in what was a difficult divorce was made immensely more favorable because of Mr. Ward and his team.
