Former Dwight Howard is once again at the center of public controversy after his wife, Amy Luciani, posted an emotional video on social media discussing the struggles in their marriage.
In the now-deleted video, which lasted about five minutes, Luciani appeared visibly distressed as she spoke about personal challenges in their relationship. She alleged that the situation at home had deteriorated significantly and claimed her husband has been battling drug addiction. She also said that authorities had previously been called to their home and that child protection services had taken their daughter during the ordeal.
While Howard has not publicly responded to the claims, the video quickly spread online before being removed, sparking debate among fans and followers.
Who Is Amy Luciani?
Amy Luciani, whose birth name is Amber Rose, is an artist and entrepreneur originally from Detroit in the United States. She reportedly changed her name to avoid confusion with model and television personality Amber Rose.
Luciani began her music career at a young age as part of an all-female singing group formed with her sisters. The group toured across several cities and even performed as opening acts for artists including Bow Wow and B2K.
She later relocated to Atlanta to pursue a solo career. In 2023, she released her debut project titled Amy’s World, marking her official entry as a solo recording artist.
Luciani also gained wider recognition after appearing in seasons 11 and 12 of the reality television series Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, where she promoted her music and shared aspects of her personal life.
Beyond entertainment, Luciani has been involved in community initiatives, including launching a charity aimed at helping people secure housing in Atlanta. She is also the author of a children’s book titled Good Touch Bad Touch, which focuses on child safety awareness.
Dwight Howard and Amy Luciani’s Relationship Timeline
Howard and Luciani kept much of their relationship out of the public spotlight. The couple reportedly share a five-year age gap.
In December 2024, Luciani hinted at their engagement by posting photos and videos showing a diamond ring on her finger. The social media post featured moments of the pair celebrating together, though it has since been deleted.
The couple later married in January 2025 in what appeared to be a private ceremony. Instead of a traditional announcement, the pair reportedly teased followers by asking for honeymoon destination suggestions online.
Divorce Filing and Brief Reconciliation
Only months after their wedding, Luciani filed for divorce, stating in court documents that the marriage was “irretrievably broken” and that reconciliation seemed unlikely. She also requested the division of marital assets and sought financial support from the court.
However, later that same year, Luciani publicly suggested that the divorce filing may have been a mistake. In a separate video shared online, she described the decision as emotional and said the pressures of being a newly married young wife had contributed to the conflict.
New Allegations Surface
The latest video shared by Luciani appears to signal renewed tensions in the relationship. In the emotional recording, she claimed repeated conflicts led her to contact law enforcement several times during their marriage.
She also alleged that child protection authorities had visited their home and removed their daughter following the incidents. The video has since been deleted, and details surrounding the claims have not been independently confirmed.
Howard, who is a former NBA champion and eight-time All-Star, has five children with different partners.
As the situation continues to develop, fans and observers are waiting to see whether Howard or his representatives will respond publicly to the allegations.
