While the results are still marked as pending, a court granted Yao’s request for $6,500 per month in child support. Her $5,300 per month spousal support request was denied by a judge as well as her request for Beasley to pay $20,000 for her attorney’s fees. 

The estranged couple first married on March 20, 2020, but Yao filed for divorce nine months later, on Dec. 8, after pictures of Beasley surfaced holding hands with Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of NBA star Scottie Pippen, the New York Post reports.
