Chanel Iman & Sterling Shepard Split After Almost 4 Years of Marriage

In a July 2019 interview with Haute Living, Shepard recalled their love story, revealing that the two immediately hit it off after he approached her at a birthday party for former teammate Victor Cruz in 2016.
 
“[Someone else] wanted to go talk to her, and I was like, ‘No man, let me go talk to her,'” he said. “So, I approached her and asked her if she wanted a drink, and we were just talking for the rest of the party, and then we went to some club for the after-party and kept talking. I got her number, and we went our own separate ways, but we stayed in contact. It was kind of crazy.”
