Darren Waller made some major changes in his life after he shocked fans by retiring at the age of 31. <\/p>\n
The former Giants tight end \u2014 who announced in a YouTube video Sunday that he\u2019s retiring after a near-death health scare in November \u2014 revealed he changed his phone number and is evaluating his definition of love following his April divorce from WNBA champ Kelsey Plum. <\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely want to pour a lot into my creativity,\u201d Waller said in a recent interview with TMZ, referring to his music, adding his passions are elsewhere now. \u201cI want to do things that I want to do and I\u2019m going to invest time in that. But I\u2019m also going to continue to be what I\u2019ve done for addiction and mental health, that kind of advocacy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to see the world. I want to travel. I want to be more involved in my family\u2019s lives, be a better friend be a better sponsor, just be more present in the lives of people because I don\u2019t really feel like I have been while chasing football.\u201d <\/p>\n
Waller dealt with drug and alcohol addiction and got sober after an overdose in 2017. He said he\u2019s maintained his sobriety. <\/p>\n
The former Pro Bowler explained that a recent trip to Utah, where he visited some national parks, helped \u201cbring some closure\u201d in his decision to retire \u2014 which he doesn\u2019t regret. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been relatively calm,\u201d Waller said, referring to his life after hanging up his jersey for good. \u201cI changed my phone number recently and got, like, a dumb phone. So now the people that have my number, the messages I\u2019ve been receiving have all been supportive and loving and what not. So, I just appreciate people allowing me the space to really come to this decision.\u201d <\/p>\n
In his eight-season NFL career, Waller recorded 350 catches for 4,124 yards and 20 touchdowns. He was a Pro Bowl selection in 2020.<\/p>\n
Waller, who was acquired by the Giants in March 2023, spent one season in East Rutherford, which was disrupted by a hamstring injury on Oct. 29.<\/p>\n
\u201cFootball was a big part of me something that I loved since I was a kid but there was also this element that I continued to do it because I knew it was a tool for people to accept me as well,\u201d Waller said. \u201c\u2026 I reached a point where I don\u2019t have that 100 percent to give to the process. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s fair to teammates, or fans, or organizations that are expecting me to give that. That\u2019s why I came to the decision I made.\u201d<\/p>\n
Waller went on to say that he\u2019s still working out and training for his mental health and \u201ctrain to keep my mind and my body right.\u201d <\/p>\n
He announced his retirement nearly three months after his split with Plum. <\/p>\n
The couple filed a joint petition for a divorce on April 23 in Clark County, Nevada, according to online records viewed by The Post, after one year of marriage.<\/p>\n
Waller and Plum tied the knot in a quiet Vegas ceremony in March 2023.<\/p>\n
The former tight end said he \u201cabsolutely\u201d wants to find love again, but first, he wants to redefine what love means to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing into relationships, I had to be co-dependent and tap dance to please the partner,\u201d he said. \u201cOr I had to self-sabotage the relationship before the other person did because of things that happened to me when I was younger. My whole definition of love has to change, and that\u2019s a lot of the work I\u2019m doing right now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
