EX-49ERS RECEIVER BLAMES DIVORCE ON CHORES: “MY WIFE WANTED ME TO BE HER HOUSEKEEPER”
Years after leaving the field, a former San Francisco 49ers star has shocked fans with a bitter story about his divorce that’s now making waves across the sports world.
The reason behind the split sounds almost unbelievable — household chores. American media outlets quickly picked up the story, sparking widespread debate among fans and commentators alike.
The man in question is John Taylor — the former 49ers legend who helped the team capture multiple Super Bowl titles and is now back in the spotlight for an entirely different reason.
“I loved football, but my marriage became another kind of game. She didn’t want a husband — she wanted a housekeeper,” Taylor revealed in a candid interview.
Sources close to the player say the tension began when Taylor felt he was being treated like domestic help instead of a partner. Despite his efforts to keep things balanced, nothing seemed to work.
Former teammates expressed surprise but offered their support, describing Taylor as a responsible man both in the locker room and in life beyond the field.
The divorce has not only drawn attention for its unusual cause but has also reignited conversations about the balance of roles in marriages involving retired athletes.
Still, John Taylor remains optimistic. “I’ve caught some of the toughest passes in the NFL,” he said. “Getting through this pain? I’ll handle it just like I did on the field.”
