The pair met one evening when Sonya’s volleyball coach invited Dell to watch one of her games.
The pair eventually married in 1988, and Dell went on to have a long career in the NBA.
Sonya accompanied Dell to every one of his games, until their second child was born in 1990.

They said in a joint statement, “We are so thankful for all the many blessings and successes!
We stay committed to and supportive of our children and grandchildren and will remain on connected paths.
Dell submitted a court filing alleging that Sonya committed “acts of illicit sexual misconduct” during their marriage.

He also accused her of lying about the alleged acts.
Sonya claims that Dell had affairs with many women throughout their three decades-long marriage.
Aside from sharing children, the pair also own and operate the Montessori School in Charlotte, North Carolina.

They founded the institution together in 1994 (viaClutch Points).
Sonya said, “Montessori for my family has really been the staple of everything.
We’ll surely be pulling for them to find peace through this process.
