Tyreek Hill is asking a Florida court to keep two phone recordings out of his divorce case involving Keeta Vaccaro.
The NFL wide receiver says Vaccaro’s mother recorded both calls without telling him. His legal team argues the recordings should not be used as evidence because Hill did not consent to being recorded.
Tyreek Hill challenges two recordings
The first call happened in January 2024. According to Hill’s filing, Vaccaro’s mother brought up his relationships with other women during the conversation.
Hill argues that the discussion did not involve physical conduct. He also contends that the conversation does not have a proper connection to the issues being considered in the divorce.
The second call happened in May 2024. Hill says he contacted Vaccaro’s mother while he and Vaccaro were arguing. According to his filing, Hill hoped her involvement would help calm the dispute. He says he did not know the conversation was being recorded.
Hill says he was in Florida during both calls. Vaccaro’s mother was in Texas.
Why the recordings matter
Hill’s legal team is relying on Florida communications law in asking the court to exclude the recordings.
Florida generally requires consent from all parties before a private phone conversation can be recorded. Hill argues that Florida law should apply because he was in the state during both calls.
The court will ultimately decide whether the recordings can be used in the divorce proceedings.
Tyreek Hill divorce case began in 2025
The divorce case stems from a dispute at the couple’s Sunny Isles Beach home in April 2025. Police responded to the residence after a domestic dispute. No charges were filed.
Vaccaro filed for divorce the next day. She described the marriage as irretrievably broken. Hill and Vaccaro married in Austin, Texas, in November 2023. Their marriage lasted less than two years before the divorce case began.
Vaccaro later amended her filings. She alleged eight incidents of domestic violence during the marriage, including some incidents she said happened while she was pregnant. Hill has denied the allegations and is expected to present his account during the court proceedings.
More evidence disputes are emerging
The recordings are part of a larger battle over evidence in the divorce case.
Earlier in the proceedings, Hill sought communications and call records from Vaccaro’s mother. Hill argued that a previous court order requiring the records had not been followed.
He later pushed for the material to be turned over within a week. Another dispute involved Hill’s contact with a former partner connected to the case. The woman was scheduled to provide deposition testimony in the divorce proceedings.
Vaccaro’s legal team questioned the timing of Hill’s contact with her. Hill denied trying to influence her testimony. He also asked the court to sanction Vaccaro and her attorney over what he described as an unsupported accusation.
What happens next
The court still has to decide whether the two recordings can be admitted as evidence. That decision could affect what information reaches the court during the divorce trial. Both sides continue to challenge evidence and allegations as the proceedings move forward.
For Hill, the case has attracted significant attention because of his profile as an NFL wide receiver. The upcoming trial will determine how the competing claims and evidence are handled in court.
