The off-ice drama surrounding Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic continues. Just five months after his arrest for alleged domestic violence, Lucic’s wife, Brittany, has filed for separation, citing “irreconcilable differences” according to TMZ Sports.
The news comes after a tumultuous November for Lucic. He was arrested on November 18th following a reported domestic dispute at their Boston condo. Brittany Lucic alleged that Milan pulled her hair and choked her during a heated argument. Lucic was placed on indefinite leave by the Bruins and faced assault and battery charges.
However, the case against Lucic was ultimately dismissed in February after Brittany declined to testify. Lucic never played another game for the Bruins in the 2023-24 season due to the incident and an unrelated injury.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, Brittany listed the couple’s separation date as November 17, 2023 – the day before Lucic’s arrest. She is reportedly seeking custody of their three children and spousal support while requesting supervised visitation for Milan.
The Bruins have yet to comment on the situation. Lucic’s future with the team remains uncertain.
