TMZ – RVD’s wife files for divorce after 17 years

Former WWE/ECW star Rob Van Dam is going through a divorce, reports TMZ.

RVD’s wife, Sonya, reportedly filed for divorce in Los Angeles court citing “irreconcilable differences.” The couple had been separated since December.

TMZ talked to Sonya, who says they’re still talking to each other and on “relatively good terms,” but “it’s a private time; it’s a hard thing for me to even talk about.”

RVD and Sonya had been married since 1998. Sonya is asking for spousal support, RVD to pay her attorney’s fees, and for her last name to be restored from Skatkowski to Delbeck.

Van Dam has been off WWE TV for about two years. He did appear at the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony in April in Dallas supporting The Godfather.

RVD told WWE’s website at the time that he’s been working on movie projects since his last WWE run.
