The Ravens' Ben Cleveland may have to part with quite a lot of money to finalize his divorce from partner Kaitlyn Terrell.
NFL offensive lineman Cleveland filed for divorce just over two weeks after he was arrested for a DUI in 2025, and it's now been reported that he has agreed to pay a lump sump payment to Terrell to make it all official.
According to court records, seen by TMZ, Cleveland submitted the necessary documents for divorce to Baldwin County, Georgia on February 28 2025, just 16 days after being arrested, following claims he had been drinking and driving.
Regarding his DUI, police at the time said he blew a .178 during a traffic stop and he was issued two citations - one for DUI - alcohol, and another for failure to maintain lane.

The documents note that the couple got married in July 2022, but have been formally separated since December 29, 2024.
To see the divorce finalized, according to a New York Post report, Cleveland is willing to part with over half a million dollars.
The NFL star has vowed to give Terrell a total lump sum of $550,000, however some of that money will go towards paying off a 2024 Land Rover he agreed to give her.
This agreed payment is suspected to be return for Kaitlyn relinquishing her rights to some real estate owned by the couple.
The agreement also goes into more details about how the pair will divvy up their possessions, including a golf cart, rugs and kitchen dishes.
Terrell has also agreed to return Ben’s gun and thermal scope while allowing him to retain possessions of two properties in Georgia.
Both sides have stated that they will pay their own attorney fees and the two acknowledged they would not make ‘any disparaging comments about the other party in any form’ or ‘post anything about the other party on any social media platform.’
Despite significant progress being made, a judge has not yet signed off on the settlement agreement meaning there could still be some changes. Cleveland did file a motion in the case last week to expedite that process, however.
Kaitlyn’s attorney, J. Chase Wilson, spoke to the Post on March 2 and said: “We are prohibited by the terms of the settlement agreement from making any public comment.”
