Influencer Haley Baylee Breaks Silence in Bitter Legal Battle with Ex-Husband
Popular social media influencer Haley Baylee has publicly addressed her feelings amid an escalating legal dispute with her ex-husband, former NFL player Matt Kalil. The couple, who married in 2018 after dating since 2015, finalized their divorce in 2022. While their separation was initially described as amicable, the situation has now turned contentious with Kalil filing a lawsuit seeking $75,000 in damages.
Emotional Response to Legal Action
Haley Baylee expressed shock and hurt upon learning about the lawsuit. She stated, "I am genuinely shocked and incredibly hurt upon receiving the news of this filing." The influencer emphasized that she believes the truth about their relationship remains accessible through her original livestream content, which she claims still exists on a YouTube account.
"The truth is in the original livestream," Baylee asserted. "I speak highly of him in multiple ways throughout that conversation."
She described the litigation process as particularly difficult, saying, "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."
Legal Team Challenges the Lawsuit
Baylee's legal representatives have strongly criticized the lawsuit filed by Matt Kalil. They argue that the claims attempt to establish dangerous new legal precedents that could restrict free speech about past relationships.
"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," her legal team stated.
They further emphasized constitutional concerns, noting, "That raises serious First Amendment concerns, especially in a case involving two public figures."
Recent Public Appearances and Comments
Despite the ongoing legal battle, Haley Baylee continues her public engagements. She recently attended the WWD 2026 Style Awards, where she spoke to media about her personal outlook for the coming year.
"In is going to be good guys," Baylee remarked about her future expectations. "We need some good guys."
She also shared what she plans to leave behind, stating, "Out is going to be ego, pride, being a mean anybody. Like, say 'goodbye' to mean and 'hello' to nice."
Diverging Life Paths After Separation
Since their 2022 divorce, the former couple has taken different life directions. Matt Kalil has remarried and now has a child, while Haley Baylee remains single. Their relationship timeline shows they began dating in 2015, married several years later, and ultimately separated four years into their marriage.
The $75,000 lawsuit centers on controversial comments Baylee made about her ex-husband, though specific details of those remarks remain undisclosed. The case continues to develop as both parties prepare their legal arguments.
