BOMBSHELL ANNOUNCEMENT: BYU Football Fans React in Shock as Coach Kalani Sitake ‘Files for Divorce’ — But There’s a Twist

In a surprise that stunned Cougar Nation, a viral headline erupted across social media late Friday night claiming that BYU head football coach Kalani Sitake had officially filed for divorce from his longtime wife, Timberly Sitake. The alleged bombshell triggered widespread speculation among fans — until closer inspection revealed something very different.

Fans React: “We Didn’t See This Coming!”

Within hours, forums like CougarBoard and Twitter (now rebranded as “X”) exploded with reactions ranging from disbelief to confusion:

“I thought he only divorced zone coverage last season,” joked one fan.
“As long as he doesn’t divorce the run game, we’ll survive,” another added.

Some fans expressed concern about the impact such personal matters could have on team morale, especially with the Cougars entering a critical Big 12 stretch.

But it didn’t take long for the true story to surface.

The Truth Behind the Headline

Despite the dramatic tone of the headline, no court documents exist, and no credible sources have confirmed any divorce proceedings. In fact, Kalani and Timberly Sitake were spotted together just last week attending a community event in Provo, laughing and posing for photos with fans.

A source close to the family called the rumors “completely baseless” and suggested the viral post may have been a poorly executed joke — or a clickbait hoax designed to mislead.

Coach Sitake Responds: “Only Thing I’m Divorcing Is Turnovers”

In classic Kalani fashion, the head coach took the fake news in stride.

“Look, I love my wife, I love my team, and I love this university,” Sitake said during a post-practice press scrum.
“The only thing I’m thinking about divorcing is the idea of giving up 400 yards a game.”

The team burst into laughter, and social media quickly shifted focus to this weekend’s matchup.

The Bigger Picture: Rumors in the Age of Virality

This fake headline highlights the dangers of misinformation in the digital age, especially when it involves personal lives. Even a poorly written post can go viral, causing unnecessary stress and confusion for families, fans, and public figures alike.

As one media analyst put it:

“If you can’t trust a headline that starts with ‘BOMBSHELL,’ what can you trust?”

Final Word

Kalani Sitake remains happily married, fully committed to BYU Football, and focused on building a winning season — not battling fake tabloid drama.

So, Cougar Nation, rest easy. The only thing exploding in Provo this weekend should be the scoreboard.
