Within the years they have spent together, the couple has welcomed three kids together; Gloria Griffin, Gameya Griffin, and Gia Griffin. They had their first child, a daughter named Gloria Griffin, on July 12, 2017. At the time, Griffin and Šadeiko were not yet married, but they were already engaged.

What Does RG3’s Wife Do For a Living

Griffin and his wife have towed the path of athletics for a very long time, even before their paths crossed. Grete used to be a professional heptathlete before she called it quits. Nonetheless, she has not strayed very far from what she has always been involved with.

Grete now owns and runs a fitness center known as Glow Fitness, which is in Texas. She is also into at-home workouts, and is equally a social media influencer, with more than sixty thousand followers on Instagram.

What happened to RG3’s first wife?

As indicated, Grete is not the first wife of RG3. He was initially married to Rebecca Liddicoat. Robert and Rebecca’s history goes back to their days in college when they started dating. They were first introduced by mutual friends and since they liked each other, they soon began dating. They were together until 2013 when Robert was playing for Washington Redskins, and then they got married.

Their marriage seemed to be a happy one in the initial stages and they were later blessed with a daughter, Reese Ann Griffin. Reese was born on May 21, 2015, which means she is now 8 years old.

Only a few months after Robert welcomed his baby with his first wife, the former NFL star began flirting with Grete, who was a college student at the time, after meeting on Instagram when he slid into her DM. In no time, the online flirting turned into a full-blown affair.

When RG3’s first wife found out that her husband was cheating on her, it was revealed that she was ready to mend fences with him and work on their marriage, but Robert was already done with it. He filed for divorce, which marked the end of their marriage in 2016, after spending only three years as man and wife.

After what happened to her and their divorce, Rebecca Liddicoat was awarded  $1.1 million and full custody of their daughter. She also got child support of $36,000 per month. to say the least, the divorce was a rather messy one, as while she did her best to keep her ex-husband away from their daughter, Robert did all he could to cut her away from any finances.

With everything now behind her, Rebecca has since stayed away from the public, raising her daughter away from the eyes of the media.
