Tyreek Hill’s wife claims the former All-Pro wide receiver attempted to punch her in the stomach during an argument while she was pregnant with the couple’s daughter in 2024, according to court testimony in a civil assault and battery trial against him in Florida.
Keeta Vaccaro testified for more than three hours on Tuesday, October 6, during which time she alleged a pattern of abuse from Hill, 32, dating back to January 2024, according to ESPN. She is seeking punitive and compensatory damages.
The trial is part of the couple’s ongoing divorce proceedings. Hill is currently a free agent, but is preparing for a return to the NFL, with the Kansas City Chiefs among his rumored suitors. If he does sign with a team, Hill’s alleged actions will be subject to disciplinary action under the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
Vaccaro, 30, testified that “probably the worst of all these times” that Hill allegedly abused her came in July 2024 when the couple visited ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. The two got into an argument and Hill allegedly tried to hit her in the stomach as Vaccaro said she deflected the punch with her hands.
“If I didn’t block it, it would just hit me,” she said.
Hill and Vaccaro married in 2023 and welcomed their only baby together, daughter Capri, in late 2024. Hill has a total of seven children.
Vaccaro also alleged that Hill pulled her hair, broke her sunglasses and cursed at her at a Bristol hotel.
Vaccaro’s testimony continued as she alleged several other incidents of abuse, culminating in an April 2025 argument that, she said, included Hill trying to grab her and throwing her computer to the ground. Nanny cam video from Capri’s room was shown in court as Vaccaro’s lawyers attempted to corroborate her story.
TMZ reports that Vaccaro could be heard screaming “Stop! Stop! Help! Help!” in the video, while Hill replied, “You don’t scare me, bro. You ain’t nothing but a broke bitch.”
Police were called at the time, but Vaccaro told officers their argument “never became physical” and that she was in the process of filing for divorce.
“I’ve been in this cycle with him for so long, being pregnant and realizing, ‘What am I going to do? How am I going to get myself out of this,’” Vaccaro explained Tuesday. “[The abuse] got worse and worse and worse. And it got to a point where, now I’m a new mom. I have to think of her. I have to think about what I’m putting myself through.”
