Pro Football Rumors
The NFL will interview Tyreek Hill‘s wife, Keeta Vaccaro, as part of their investigation into the 31-year-old wide receiver’s alleged domestic violence, per Grethel Aguila of the Miami Herald.
Vaccaro filed for divorced from Hill in April. Court filings in September accused Hill of domestic violence, including multiple acts committed while Vacarro was pregnant. More recent documents reveal for the first time that the league is investigating those allegations.
This is the third known allegation of domestic violence against Hill. The first came during Hill’s time at Oklahoma State and led to his removal from the football and track teams, as well as several NFL teams’ draft boards. The second was in 2019 while he was on the Chiefs. Both came from Hill’s ex-fiancé and the mother of his children, Crystal Espinal. The NFL could not levy a punishment for Hill’s pre-draft conduct and their 2019 investigation produced no consequences, either.
The league will now be looking into Vaccaro’s claims, which include eight separate acts of domestic violence. The investigation will include an interview with Vaccaro, who is also asking that Hill’s deposition from their divorce case be provided to the NFL.
The investigation will hang over Hill as he enters the 2026 offseason. He is owed $36MM next year, a figure that the Dolphins nor any other team will want to pay. He is expected to hit free agency and search for a new team, a process that could be impacted by this investigation and a resulting punishment. Hill also hinted at the potential for retirement in late October.
