Lakeeta Vacaro Hill, the estranged wife of NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill, testified on Day 1 of a civil trial in Miami, alleging that Hill punched her in the stomach while she was pregnant in July 2024.

During the livestreamed testimony, Hill’s ex‑wife said he struck her because he “didn’t want the baby,” and that the assault lasted about 30 minutes, during which he allegedly destroyed items in her purse. She recounted that she tried to block the blow to protect the unborn child, and that first responders arrived at their Florida home in January 2024 after a reported incident.

Lakeeta added that after the assault she showered, attended an event an hour later, and later told Hill’s grandparents about the incident, who she says dismissed her claims. She filed for divorce in April 2025, a day after police responded to their home while an alleged assault was in progress. Speculation continues about Hill’s free‑agent future, with teams such as the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs mentioned as possibilities.
