“She has filed for dissolution of her marriage,” it continued.

Derek and Kellie have no children together, and it is unclear at this time how long they have been married. Derek was arrested on Friday for his involvement in the death of Floyd, who tragically died in police custody on Monday, Video has since gone viral showing Derek kneeling on Floyd’s neck as he desperately tells the officer that he can’t breath.

Newsweek reported that Kellie was crowned United States of America’s Mrs. Minnesota in 2018, and at the time, she opened up about her husband.

“Under all that uniform, he’s just a softie,” Kellie said of Derek. “He’s such a gentleman. He still opens the door for me, still puts my coat on for me. After my divorce, I had a list of must-haves if I were ever to be in a relationship, and he fit all of them.”

Kellie was born in Laos in 1974, and her family fled to Thailand three years later, living in a refugee camp there before moving to Wisconsin in 1980.

“They say ‘land of the free,’ but I still didn’t feel like we were free,” Kellie said. “We didn’t know English. My parents didn’t want us leaving the house because they didn’t trust the world. You land into this brand-new world and you don’t know what to expect, and so we were always kept inside.”
