Larry Wheels confirmed in May 2026 that he and his wife, Sheyla, had separated after roughly two years of marriage. The powerlifter and fitness creator shared the news during a livestream after viewers noticed that Sheyla was no longer appearing with him as usual.
Rather than blaming one dramatic incident, Larry said the couple had “grown apart.” When asked whether the relationship could still be repaired, he indicated that it had reached a point that he considered beyond repair.
The public announcement confirmed the end of their relationship, but reliable reporting has not clearly established that a final legal divorce decree has already been entered. For that reason, the most accurate description at present is that Larry and Sheyla are separated and the marriage has broken down.
Larry Confirmed the Split During a Livestream
The breakup became public in mid-May 2026 during an IRL livestream involving Larry and UFC cutman Brad Tate.
Tate asked why Sheyla was not present. Larry responded that they were separated and explained that they had grown apart. The exchange was quickly clipped and shared across social media, surprising followers who had seen the couple together only months earlier.
Larry did not use the moment to make accusations against Sheyla. His explanation was brief and focused on the relationship no longer working.
What He Said About the Reason
The clearest reason Larry has personally given is that the two simply grew apart.
He did not publicly identify infidelity, a financial dispute, another partner or a single argument as the cause. When Tate encouraged him to consider repairing the marriage, Larry said the situation was beyond repair.
That wording suggests the problems were serious and had developed over time, but it does not reveal the private details behind them. Any more dramatic explanation circulating online goes beyond what Larry himself has confirmed.
They Married in 2024
Larry and Sheyla had been together publicly for several years before marrying.
Their relationship became widely known in 2022, and Larry announced their engagement later that year. In February 2024, he shared wedding photographs and introduced Sheyla to followers as his wife.
The marriage therefore lasted a little more than two years before Larry publicly confirmed the separation in May 2026.
Why the Prenup Became Part of the Story
The breakup attracted extra attention because of comments Larry had made only a few months earlier about a prenuptial agreement.
During a February 2026 livestream, he said he had considered a prenup earlier in the relationship but ultimately decided not to proceed because he trusted Sheyla.
When the separation became public, those comments resurfaced and led to widespread discussion about how the couple might divide money or property.
However, no reliable public court record reviewed for this update provides a complete financial settlement. The absence of a prenup may become legally important depending on where and how any divorce is handled, but it does not by itself tell the public what either spouse will ultimately receive.
Larry Said He Still Wanted to Support Her
One of the more notable parts of Larry’s announcement was his attitude toward Sheyla after the split.
He said that even though they were separated, he still wanted to make sure she was financially comfortable. Reports based on the livestream said he intended to continue helping her and wanted her to be “good” after the relationship.
That led to online discussion about bills, luxury gifts and vehicles associated with the couple. But Larry’s general statement about supporting her should not be confused with a verified court-ordered divorce settlement.
Did the February Livestream Incident Cause the Breakup?
A few months before the separation, Larry and Sheyla attracted attention during a livestream involving boxer Deen the Great. The encounter became tense after Deen was perceived as flirting with Sheyla, and Larry slapped him during the broadcast.
Because the incident happened not long before the breakup, some viewers have tried to connect the two events.
There is no reliable evidence showing that the confrontation caused Larry and Sheyla to separate. Larry’s own explanation in May was simply that they had grown apart. Without a direct statement from either spouse linking the incident to the breakup, it should not be presented as the reason.
Has Sheyla Explained Her Side?
Public reporting about the May announcement has focused mainly on Larry’s comments.
Sheyla has not given a widely reported detailed public explanation identifying a different reason for the marriage ending. That leaves much of the private story unknown.
It is therefore safest to avoid assigning blame. The public knows that the couple separated and that Larry says the relationship had become impossible to repair, but not every event that led them to that point.
Is the Divorce Legally Final?
The legal status is less clear than the relationship status.
Some social-media videos and commentary posts have used the word “divorce,” but the stronger reporting reviewed for this update describes Larry and Sheyla as separated. I found no reliable public source confirming a final court judgment that legally dissolved the marriage.
That distinction matters. A couple may be separated and fully committed to ending a marriage while the legal divorce process is still pending or while details remain private.
Where Things Stand Now
As of October 2026, the clearest public information is that Larry Wheels and Sheyla are no longer together.
Larry confirmed the separation in May, said they had grown apart and made clear that he did not see the relationship as repairable. At the same time, he spoke respectfully about continuing to support her financially.
The couple’s lack of a prenup has generated considerable speculation, but no complete, verified divorce settlement has been made public. There is also no confirmed evidence that one scandal or another person caused the split.
For now, the most accurate conclusion is simple: their marriage broke down after the couple grew apart, according to Larry, while the deeper personal reasons and any final legal or financial arrangements remain private.
