Chanel Iman & Sterling Shepard Move On After Divorce
Their romance news comes 10 months after Sterling filed for divorce from Iman.
The exes reportedly divorce over irreconcilable differences that ‘existed for at least six months’ prior to Shepard’s filing in January 2022, Page Six reported. Shepard requested joint legal custody of their two children, daughters Cali and Cassie.
Since the split, Chanel has moved on with another NFL star, Davon Godchaux, following her split from her husband. She debuted her new man on Instagram in April with a photo of them at Coachella, as Devon kissed her cheek from behind.
They still seem to be going strong.
