Knicks Head Coach Derek Fisher Files For Divorce

The New York Knicks head coach Derek Fisher has another challenge in an already difficult first season of coaching. According to court documents filed in L.A., Fisher has filed for divorce from his 38-year-old wife Candice, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Candice and Derek met when he was playing for the Lakers. The two were married for 10 years, celebrating their anniversary in February. They have a pair of seven-year-old twins, Drew and Tatum. Candice also has a son from her previous relationship with retired NFL running back Marshall Faulk.

The split appears amicable, with Fisher offering to split the legal costs. He’s seeking joint custody of the twins.

“This is a difficult time for me personally,” he said in a statement. “For the sake of our children, I ask that everyone respects our privacy during this process.”

Ironically enough, Derek posted the sweetest message to Candice last month on their anniversary.

There are things in your life that are specifically designed to change your life change your path change your destiny. And there are people in your life that are specifically designed, by God, to bring you closer to what your life is truly meant to be.@mrsladyfish #myrib is that one person. She has changed the way I view life and what’s most important to me. Life would not be the same without my queen. PERIOD!!! Happy Anniversary honey! Our best lives are ahead of us! Let’s GO!!! #itpouredrainonourweddingday #wetknot #westucktogether #myrib #blessedlife #beautifulwife

I guess everyone fronts on Instagram.
