Jed York, owner of the San Francisco 49ers, has initiated divorce proceedings against his wife, Danielle Belluomini. This development comes just months before his recent arrest for allegedly attempting to solicit a prostitute, an incident reported by the NY Post based on court documents. The alleged solicitation involved spending $140.
These personal challenges may impact York’s focus and decision-making regarding the franchise as the NFL season progresses.
A father of two has cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for his decision to terminate his marriage to Belluomini, as stated in York’s divorce petition acquired by The Post on Monday afternoon. He said that the couple was married on June 24, 2011, but did not specify a date for their separation, marking it as “TBD.”
The York family’s association with the 49ers began in 1977 when Edward DeBartolo Sr., the maternal grandfather of Jed, purchased the team for $13 million, with his son, Eddie DeBartolo Jr., acting as the owner. Jed York was initially named team president in 2008, later ascending to the role of team owner at the age of 46 in 2024, when he acquired his mother’s stake. The 49ers achieved remarkable success during their ownership, securing five Super Bowl titles and establishing themselves as one of the premier franchises in the NFL.
