Edwin Encarnación and Karen Yapoort announce divorce

Former MLB player Edwin Encarnación and communicator Karen Yapoort have announced their divorce following years of marriage. Encarnación released a video stating he had instructed lawyers to file for divorce, expressing disappointment over behaviors he claimed to have recently discovered.

Yapoort responded by clarifying that she had actually initiated the divorce process by mutual consent over a week prior to the public announcement. Her legal representative, Alberto Fiallo, noted that the couple is married under a regime of separation of assets, a decision made by Yapoort.

Amid the public dispute, Yapoort used social media to deny rumors of a shooting incident involving her, stating that she and her family are safe. Both parties have requested privacy and consideration for their children during this transition. Psychologists have noted the potential emotional impact on children when high-profile separations are heavily publicized in the media.
