Baltimore, MD – October 1, 2025
Another NFL legend just put points on the board — not on the field, but in the courtroom. Earl Thomas, the former All-Pro safety for the Baltimore Ravens and Seattle Seahawks and a Super Bowl champion, has won a high-profile divorce battle with his ex-wife.
Thomas, who earned roughly $55 million in NFL salary and bonuses from 2010–2020 and has since grown his wealth to over $30 million through investments and endorsements, saw that fortune threatened during divorce proceedings with Nina Thomas, whom he married in 2016.
Court records show Nina sought more than 60% of the marital estate — estimated at about $20 million — along with monthly support of up to $80,000, alleging infidelity and neglect. Thomas’s legal team, however, presented financial evidence indicating Nina had transferred nearly $2 million from joint accounts to shell companies registered under relatives’ names. They also cited lavish spending on travel, jewelry, and private parties — all without Thomas’s consent.
Maryland State Court Judge William R. Matthews ruled largely in Thomas’s favor, finding that Nina had “intentionally concealed and dissipated marital assets.” The decision awards Thomas 50% of the marital property — roughly $10 million — and orders Nina to repay $1 million of the diverted funds.
Crucially, Thomas avoided permanent spousal support. Instead, he is required to provide temporary assistance for one year to allow Nina time to relocate and stabilize financially.
Speaking outside the courthouse, Thomas said: “I’ve dedicated my life to my family and my career. When someone tries to take everything you’ve built, you have to stand up and fight. I believe in fairness — she’s entitled to her share, but she can’t take it all.”
Legal analysts say the ruling could set a strong precedent for high-profile athlete divorces, where hidden assets and excessive demands often surface. Ravens fans on social media hailed the outcome as “an elite interception” — fitting for a player known for resilience and clutch moments.
For Ravens supporters, the victory carries special meaning. Earl Thomas built his name on toughness and perseverance, and even off the field he’s shown again that champions shine brightest under pressure.
