Tim Duncan is officially divorced, according to the San Antonio Express-News (via My San Antonio).

The site reports that Duncan and his ex-wife, Amy Dunca, chose to finalize their split in a secret hearing outside the court.

The NBA star's divorce has been in the public eye since his estranged wife, Amy Duncan, filed for divorce in March 2013. Tabloid stories include infidelity allegations on both sides and reports that he hired a private investigator to follow his ex.

The judge who granted the divorce told the San Antonio Express-News that the Duncans felt uncomfortable holding the hearing in court because of the publicity that surrounds their case, and they wanted to protect their privacy.

The specifics of the divorce settlement, including child custody and division of marital assets have not been made public.

Tim and Amy Duncan met while students at Wake Forest University, where he played basketball and she was a cheerleader. They married in 2001 and have two children together.

Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada's whirlwind 41-day marriage came to an end in August 2012 when Lozada filed for divorce from the former NFL wide receiver. Earlier that month, Johnson reportedly head-butted his now-ex-wife during an argument. "Basketball Wives" star Lozada was hospitalized for a laceration on her head, and Johnson was arrested on misdemeanor domestic violence charges. The following day, the Miami Dolphins announced that they were terminating Johnson's contract. In a possible attempt to win her back, Johnson had Lozada's face tattooed on his right calf.The couple's divorce was finalized on September 19. (credit:AP)

NBA star Dwyane Wade's divorce from high school sweetheart Siohvaughn Funches lasted almost four years -- it began in November 2007 and wasn't finalized until June 2010. In May 2010, Funches-Wade filed a lawsuit against Wade's girlfriend, actress Gabrielle Union, for "engag[ing] in sexual foreplay" with Wade in front of their two young children. It was later dismissed by an Illinois judge. She also accused her ex-husband of giving her chlamydia, although sworn witness testimony proved otherwise.In addition to the messy divorce proceedings, the ex-couple was also embroiled in a nasty custody battle over their two sons, Zion and Zaire. Wade was awarded sole custody in March 2011, which his ex-wife later unsuccessfully attempted to appeal. In June 2012, she was arrested for trying to abduct their two children. (credit:AP)

In 2009, Tiger Woods made headlines for something other than his golf skills when reports of his numerous extramarital affairs began to surface. First, the National Enquirer published a story about his alleged affair with Rachel Uchitel, a New York nightclub hostess. Days later, Woods was involved in a minor car crash outside of his Florida home which led to widespread speculation about the circumstances of the accident. In the following weeks, roughly a dozen reported mistresses came forward, releasing incriminating voicemails and text messages Woods had sent -- all while married to Elin Nordegren.The ex-couple finalized their divorce in August 2010 after almost six years of marriage. Nordegren walked away with joint custody of their two children and a reported $110 million settlement. (credit:AP)
