The breakup between Dwight Howard and Amy Luciani has taken another turn this week, with the former NBA player officially dropping his restraining order against his estranged wife. Check out the relationship timeline between the two stars inside. 

As both parties move toward what Howard’s legal team describes as a more “amicable resolution,” it looks like the pretty private couple has decided to officially part ways. According to PEOPLE, the decision shows a shift in tone after weeks of public tension, legal filings, and viral accusations that kept their relationship in headlines.

The couple’s split has been anything but quiet. PEOPLE reports that authorities were called to Howard’s Georgia home multiple times in early March over separate incidents involving a domestic dispute, a reported theft, and a wellness concern. Howard also alleged that Luciani took personal belongings, including cash and valuables. The claims added another layer to an already complicated situation.
