Haley Kalil and ex-husband Matt Kalil were on friendly terms following their 2022 divorce, but a recent viral comment from the influencer may have caused a rift between them.
In November 2025, Haley declared during a livestream that the size of Matt’s penis was the “biggest factor” in their split. The TikToker’s confession rapidly circulated on social media at the time, which led Haley to issue a follow-up statement.
“I care deeply about respecting his privacy and the integrity of what we shared together. During our livestream we talked about so much more than what’s being highlighted — the love in our marriage, the growth we experienced, the depth of our connection,” she told TMZ Sports shortly after the livestream. “It’s unfortunate that only one fragment is being amplified because it doesn’t capture the full story of how meaningful things were to me. I hope [the] hour-and-half-long conversation reflects more than a funny soundbite.”
Despite her clarification, Matt later filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife in January 2026, claiming that she provided “invasive commentary” and drew “unwanted attention” to him with her livestream comments.

When Did Haley Kalil and Matt Kalil Get Divorced?
Haley tied the knot with Matt in Hawaii in July 2015, when she was around 21 years old. The marriage lasted until May 2022, when the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model filed for divorce from the former Minnesota Vikings player, citing “irreconcilable differences,” TMZ reported at the time.
Haley, who first went viral on TikTok with an apartment tour video shortly after the divorce, has reiterated to fans on multiple occasions that she and Matt ended their relationship amicably. The internet personality discussed her marriage and subsequent split from Matt in a January 2024 YouTube video, prefacing her comments by saying that her ex “really likes his privacy” and she wants to “respect that.”
“So please, guys, be kind,” she continued. “If you don’t know, I grew up in a smaller town in Minnesota and I spent pretty much my entire life there. I met my ex when I was 20 at a local Minnesota restaurant when we were with friends, and literally six months from that date, we were married, which looking back is crazy because we were only 21 and that is so, so, so young to get married. But in Minnesota, a lot of people get married young, so it also was very normal because my ex and I were so young.”
Haley added that she and Matt had “absolutely no idea what being married was like, what being in love was like, or what both of us needed from a marriage.”
“Even though we were best friends, marriage was hard and eventually years, later we decided to just stay friends, so we ended up getting a divorce and thankfully, because we were friends, the divorce was really easy,” she continued. “There wasn’t any fighting, there wasn’t any arguing even while we were getting divorced. We continued just to hang out as friends because at the end of the day, we are friends.”
Haley said the marriage taught both of them “so much about what we need in a marriage and what love really means to us.”
“We are both so happy and we’re still friends because if you care about somebody and love them you’ll be able to navigate almost any situation, yes, even divorce, and now I know why it’s so important to surround yourself with good people because when you truly care about somebody and they truly care about you, you have each other’s best interest at heart,” she added.
Matt has since moved on with model Keilani Asmus. The pair tied the knot in April 2024 and welcomed one son. As for Haley, it’s unclear if she is currently in a relationship. She most recently dated model Kyle Vieira, but she confirmed their split in August 2025.
Haley Kalil Comments on the Size of Matt Kalil’s Penis During Livestream
In November 2025, Haley claimed during a Twitch livestream that the size of Matt’s manhood caused issues in their relationship.
“[This happened] our whole marriage,” she said. “I was going to try it all — therapists, doctors [and I] looked up lipo-type s***, you know what I mean? That’s why it’s kinda funny. It’s like my life is a comedy, and it kind of writes itself.”
Less than two weeks after her split from Matt James rocked Bachelor Nation, Rachael Kirkconnell is ready to tell her side of the story, revealing that the breakup came “out of nowhere” during a fight. “It’s different every day. I’m doing OK,” Kirkconnell, 28, began to “Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper on Tuesday, January […]
Haley added, “It was, like, he’s .01 percent of the population. We tried everything [and it was] impossible unless you’re going to be in tears.”
Matt Kalil Sues Haley Kalil for Invasion of Privacy
Though Matt initially remained silent amid his ex’s viral livestream soundbite, he later filed a lawsuit against Haley on Tuesday, January 6.
Matt claimed in his filing that Haley’s words “implied that the size of [Matt’s] genitalia was a primary factor in the parties’ divorce and claimed that sexual intercourse … would leave her ‘in tears,’” according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. As a result, he allegedly has been forced to “endure the ongoing public circulation of these degrading and deeply personal statements.”
Matt also claimed that Haley was able to “financially benefit from this surge in traffic.” He sought to receive damages “on all causes asserted in the complaint,” with the total amount “exceeding $75,000,” per the outlet.
Haley responded to the lawsuit in a statement to Us.
“I am genuinely shocked and incredibly hurt upon receiving the news of this filing. Litigation is a harrowing and emotionally draining experience, and I am heartbroken that he is choosing to subject us and our families to this ordeal,” the statement read, adding that Haley also complimented Matt several times during the livestream, including a moment where she called him the “greatest guy in the world.”
“The truth is in the original livestream. I speak highly of him in multiple ways throughout that conversation,” she concluded.
Haley Kalil Plans Move to Dismiss Matt Kalil’s Lawsuit
Haley’s attorney Matthew Bialick said the influencer plans to move to dismiss Matt’s lawsuit in a statement to People on January 7, 2026, saying the “case is legally unsupported.”
“The claims seek to dramatically expand existing law and establish damaging new precedent by imposing liability on a woman for merely speaking openly and truthfully about a prior relationship,” Bialick told the outlet. “That raises serious First Amendment concerns, especially in a case involving two public figures.”
Matt’s attorney Ryan Saba argued in a statement to Us that Haley “disclosed private and intimate details about Matt Kalil that were of no legitimate public concern and subjected Matt Kalil and his family to widespread ridicule and unwanted attention.”
“[Haley] Kalil shared these sensitive personal details about her ex-husband in an apparent quest to seek fortune and fame,” the statement continued. “Her actions were extreme, outrageous, beyond all possible bounds of decency, and have caused substantial harm to Matt Kalil, his family and his business.”
In a separate statement to Us, Haley’s lawyer added, “The lawsuit alleges that Ms. Kalil claimed that sexual intercourse with Mr. Kalil would leave her ‘in tears.’ Allowing this allegation to form the basis of a legal claim would mean that a woman could be sued merely for truthfully describing physical pain during sex, which is not consistent with the First Amendment.”
