"I'm off the market y’all": Malik Beasley’s ex-wife, Montana Yao, teases personal announcement while enjoying couples massage with her “wife”

The social media activity featured Montana Yao and her girlfriend, Autumn Jones, enjoying a couples massage. Sharing a photo of the activity, Yao also introduced her followers by referring to Autumn as her “wife”.

Yao’s relationship with Autumn Joness caught many off-guard, especially as Joness maintains a low profile. She has a private Instagram account with 187 followers and has stayed out of the spotlight. Before Yao shared her now-deleted Instagram Story, there were no signs that they were together, and they weren't spotted in public together as well

This quiet romance is a big shift from Yao’s past relationship with NBA player Malik Beasley. They started dating in 2018 and had a son in 2019. A year later, they tied the knot.

Things, though, took a turn in December 2020 when photos surfaced of Beasley holding hands with Larsa Pippen, following which, Yao filed for divorce. Beasley eventually apologized publicly, and the couple found their way back to each other and welcomed a daughter in November 2022.

Yao filed for legal separation in March 2025, just a day before what would have been their fifth wedding anniversary.

In June, the pair continued to enjoy each other’s company with a romantic getaway to Turks & Caicos.

However, shortly after the vacation, Beasley found himself in the spotlight again, due to a betting scandal.
