Dwight Howard's wife, Amber Rose Howard, released a statement following news of her divorce filing against the NBA legend. Amber, famously known as Amy Luciani, cleared the air about being called a "gold digger" after a report claimed she was requesting alimony and asking the court to divide their assets equally.
In a statement on Instagram, Amber clarified that Dwight didn't sign a prenuptial agreement, even though she encouraged him to. She also mentioned that she's not looking to get any assets or properties from the one-time NBA champion.
"The value I add cannot be bought. I rather build the empire with you. You ever met a gold digger who went her entire relationship without asking for a penny & asked for a prenuptial agreement & doesn’t want any part of his assets when it ends 👂🏾oh okay. I won’t bother asking for privacy. This is the internet so I’ll accept the good with the bad. Right now is just a bad moment but God oversees it all and this too shall pass 🤎," Amber wrote.

TMZ first reported Amber Rose Howard's divorce filing, having obtained documents regarding the matter. While she didn't deny the alimony claim, the TV personality disputed claims that she wanted half of Dwight Howard's assets.
According to MoneyWise, the divorce filing was made in Georgia, which is an equitable distribution state. The court will be fair in dividing their properties equally, although alimony will be based on factors such as the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, the age and health of the couple, and other relevant considerations.
The couple was married in January, with Amber Howard filing for divorce on July 1. She cited that their marriage is "irretrievably broken." It's Dwight's second marriage, and he has five children with five different women. His first wife was former WNBA player Te'a Cooper.
