Former American football star Matt Kalil has launched a significant legal action against his ex-wife, Haley Kalil, following deeply personal remarks she made about their intimate life during a public online broadcast.
The Livestream Allegations and Legal Response
In November 2025, Haley Kalil participated in a livestream with YouTuber Marlon, where she made graphic comments about her former husband's anatomy. She reportedly compared his genitalia to "two Coke cans, maybe even a third" and suggested that only "0.01 percent" of men shared a similar physical characteristic. The couple had finalised their divorce in 2022.
In response, Matt Kalil filed a lawsuit, obtained by media outlet TMZ, in early January 2026. The legal documents state that Haley implied "the size of Plaintiff's genitalia was a primary factor in the parties' divorce." He further contends she claimed sexual intercourse with him would leave her "in tears." Kalil is seeking $75,000 in damages and has requested a jury trial.
Impact on Families and Conflicting Narratives
The lawsuit details the wider fallout from the broadcast. Kalil alleges that his current wife, model Keilani Asmus, received "increasingly frequent, disturbing and alarming" online messages as a result. He also states that his family members have been subjected to the public circulation of these "degrading and deeply personal statements."
Haley Kalil provided an official statement to The Independent, expressing shock and hurt over the lawsuit. She maintains that "the truth is in the original live stream," pointing out that she also referred to him as "the greatest guy in the world" and "the best dude." She described litigation as a "harrowing and emotionally draining experience."
Background and Broader Context
Matt and Haley Kalil married in a lavish 2015 ceremony in Kauai, Hawaii, while he was an offensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings. His career later included a $55 million contract with the Carolina Panthers and a stint with the Houston Texans before his 2019 retirement. He married Keilani Asmus in Las Vegas following his divorce.
Haley Kalil, named in the TIME100 Creators list last year, has built a substantial online presence. The lawsuit suggests she gained "substantial financial benefit, increased viewership, increased engagement, and monetization" from the controversial livestream and subsequent coverage.
Matt Kalil's legal filing concludes that his attempts to live a private life were shattered by his ex-wife's "invasive commentary" on their sexual relationship, which he claims disclosed "highly intimate and private facts." The case highlights the intense personal and legal conflicts that can erupt from public disclosures about private lives.
