Picture this: A college sweethearts story straight out of The Notebook, but with more bulldog pride and fewer rain-soaked kisses. Ben Cleveland, the Baltimore Ravens’ hulking offensive guard, and his wife, Kaitlyn, seemed to have it all—until life threw a curveball sharper than a Star Wars lightsaber twist. Let’s peel back the helmet and meet the woman who’s been by his side since their Georgia days.

Like a perfectly timed touchdown pass, Ben and Kaitlyn’s romance began at the University of Georgia. Think Titletown High meets Southern charm with a dash of SEC football frenzy. But who is Kaitlyn beyond the jersey? Buckle up—we’re diving into the life of the woman who stole the heart of this 6’6”, 360-pound lineman.

Kaitlyn Cleveland: from UGA to digital stardom

Kaitlyn Terrell Cleveland isn’t just “Ben’s wife.” She’s a Georgia-born go-getter with a knack for turning life into content. A 2022 UGA grad, Kaitlyn swapped textbooks for Instagram grids, branding herself as a “digital creator” with the vibe of a Big Bang Theory character who’s way cooler than Penny.

Before pixels, she slayed retail at Red Dress, a women’s fashion hotspot. Talk about a glow-up!

“If I’m being honest, your first and my last name will just sound better together and probably always will,” Ben once gushed on Instagram during their Vegas proposal in 2020. “Nobody I’d rather spend my forever with and now we get to try that out.” Cue the Friends “awwws.”

Their July 2022 wedding was pure Southern fairy tale—think peach blossoms and BBQ buffets. But even the juiciest brisket can’t hide a few burnt edges. Which brings us to…

The playbook of their marriage: touchdowns and fumbles

Ben and Kaitlyn’s love story had more chapters than a Harry Potter book. After two years of marriage, though, the plot thickened faster than a Game of Thrones finale. In February 2025, Ben filed for divorce, citing adultery—a twist no one saw coming. The timing? Just 16 days after his DUI arrest, where he reportedly blew a 0.178 BAC. Yikes!

But let’s rewind. Their social media once screamed #CoupleGoals. From sideline selfies at Ravens games to beachy engagement posts, they were the definition of “ride or die.” Yet by December 2024, the gridiron romance fizzled. Kaitlyn’s Instagram lately screams solo trips—think Mardi Gras beads and island sunsets—while Ben’s prepping for free agency.

So, what’s next? For Ben, it’s NFL free agency and rebuilding his rep. For Kaitlyn, it’s influencer hustle and maybe a redemption arc worthy of Brooklyn 99. Though their love story might’ve ended like a Lost finale—abrupt and confusing—their Georgia roots run deep.

Whether Ben pancakes defenders or Kaitlyn dominates the ‘Gram, one thing’s clear: These Dawgs aren’t done chasing wins. And hey, in the words of every rom-com ever, sometimes love means knowing when to call audibles.

Stats Snapshot:

• Ben’s NFL Career: 54 appearances (2021–2024)
• Kaitlyn’s Grad Year: UGA ‘22
• Wedding Date: July 21, 2022
• Separation Date: December 29, 2024 (around)

Keep your eyes peeled—this isn’t the last snap for either Cleveland.
