The wife of the white police officer charged with killing
George Floyd is divorcing him.
Her lawyers confirmed that Kellie Chauvin, a former Mrs.
Minnesota winner, is seeking a divorce from Derek Chauvin.
'This evening, I spoke with Kellie Chauvin and her family.
She is devastated by Mr. Floyd’s death and her utmost sympathy lies with his
family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving this tragedy. She
has filed for dissolution of her marriage to Derek Chauvin,' Sekula Law Offices
said in a statement obtained by WCCO.
'While Ms. Chauvin has no children from her current
marriage, she respectfully requests that her children, her elder parents, and
her extended family be given safety and privacy during this difficult time.'
Derek Chauvin, 44, was taken into custody on Friday and
charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. His bail was set for
$500,000.
