NFL superstar Tyreek Hill is used to racking up big numbers on the field – but the stats involved in the wideout's divorce proceedings are every bit as eye-popping.

Hill's 15-month marriage to Keeta Vaccaro has become a pricey fumble for the eight-time pro-bowler who is about to start his fourth season with the Dolphins.

He's paying his estranged wife between $20,000 and $50,000 per month in 'spending money' on top of a one-off check for $500,000, according to court filings obtained exclusively by Daily Mail.

She's getting a further $457,517 towards her legal fees, $100,000 to spend on a new car and exclusive use of their former marital home, a $5.5million waterfront condo in Miami with Hill picking up the tab for the mortgage, insurance, utilities and internet.

The astronomical sums are simply to maintain the 'status quo' while the bickering pair duke it out in divorce court – and have nothing to do with the eventual settlement which could run into millions.

Fitness influencer Vacarro, 29, filed for divorce on April 7, a day after police responded to reports of an 'assault in progress' at the couple's 35th floor apartment.

Hill hurled a laptop on to the floor and was 'aggressive and impulsive', according to Vaccaro's mother Alesia – but cops determined that 'no crime was committed' by the $30 million-per-year player.

An astonishing 133 court documents have been submitted since then as the pair battle over spousal support and custody of their seven-month-old daughter Capri.

Hill – nicknamed Cheetah because of his blistering speed – scored some relief last week when Judge Spencer Multack blocked some of Vaccaro's costliest demands.

She wanted to keep using Hill's luxurious Bentley Bentayga SUV – worth more than $200,000 – but was told to find a new car instead and bill the athlete for $100,000.

The judge told Hill to keep paying all debts, taxes, insurance, utilities and internet associated with the marital condo, as well as health insurance for Vaccaro and Capri.

But his August 15 order nixed Vaccaro's demand for the return of her debit card and access to Hill's bank accounts.

A previous hearing heard how the Super Bowl winner cancelled the card after the mom-of-one used it to pay off debts.

'The wife testified that she was provided between $20,000 and $50,000 per month in spending money via the husband's debit card. She is seeking $50,000.00 per month in "status quo" spending,' wrote Judge Multack.

'The testimony also revealed that in early July 2025, the husband gave the wife a check for $500,000 to do with what she pleased (pay personal expenses or legal fees).

'He has also offered to give her an additional $100,000 to secure a vehicle and has agreed to temporarily maintain her in the exclusive condominium they once shared.

'The wife testified, consistent with her husband, that after the parties separated, she paid off her student loans with the husband's debit card.

'The husband testified that this expenditure, along with the wife's transfer of debit card funds to her mother, prompted him to restrict the wife's access to the debit cards.'

Vacarro was also ordered to slash her legal fees after Judge Multack pointed out that her divorce lawyers Evan Marks and Carolyn West were charging more than the court considered 'reasonable'.

With reduced hourly rates factored in, he said Hill owed his wife $457,517 to 'level the playing field' instead of the $1,100,857.51 she requested.

He told Vacarro to take it out of the $500,000 one-time payment she got from Hill, a decision her lawyers urged him to reconsider in an August 18 response.

Relationship drama is nothing new to Hill who filed for divorce just two months after marrying Vaccaro in November 2023 after a long on-again, off-again engagement.

He immediately declared it was an error and said he had fired members of his legal team for submitting the paperwork without his authorization.

The star athlete has been dogged by controversies dating back to 2014 when he was kicked off the team at Oklahoma State and received three years' probation for choking ex-fiancée Crystal Espinal while she was pregnant with their first son, Zev Carter.

In 2019 he was suspended by Kansas City, his former team, over alleged child abuse allegations but was reinstated after he pleaded his innocence and a district attorney determined there was insufficient evidence to prove he had broken Zev's arm.

Hill is also fighting a lawsuit filed by influencer Sophie Hall, who claimed he broke her leg during a practice football scrimmage in his backyard

More recently, Hill – said to have as many as 10 kids - has been ensnared in paternity battles with multiple women.

He's also fighting a lawsuit filed by plus-sized Influencer Sophie Hall who says he broke her leg during a practice football scrimmage in his backyard.

Last year Hill was hauled from his McLaren supercar and bundled to the ground in a September 8 traffic stop that was caught on shocking police bodycam footage outside Hard Rock Stadium.

He was cleared of careless driving and failing to wear a seatbelt when the officers involved failed to show up to court.
