MIAMI — The wife of Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill will sit down with the NFL for an interview amid the league’s investigation into domestic violence during their marriage, which have included accusations that he tried to punch her stomach while she was pregnant, according to a court document filed Monday.

Keeta Vaccaro, 29, — Hill’s wife, who filed for divorce in April — is seeking that the wide receiver’s deposition, taken in their divorce case, be provided to the NFL before she has a scheduled interview with league officials. The couple was married for a year and half at the time of the divorce filing.

The NFL is investigating Hill, 31, for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, according to the document. The Monday filing marks the first time details about the NFL investigation have been publicly discussed. The NFL generally does not disclose which players are being investigated. From the document, it appears that Vaccaro is cooperating with the probe.

“Pursuant to their investigation of [Hill] and in preparation for their interview of [Vaccaro,] counsel for the NFL has requested the transcript of [Hill’s] deposition,” the document said. The court filing didn’t mention when Vaccaro will meet with the NFL. The Miami Herald reached out to Hill’s attorneys but did not receive a response.

The couple’s divorce proceedings have painted an unflattering picture of Hill, who has faced previous allegations of violence toward women dating back to his days at Oklahoma State University.

In September, Vaccaro filed an amended divorce petition, detailing eight incidents of alleged abuse by Hill, including that he shoved her on the floor, ripped her hair out and tried to punch her stomach while she was pregnant. Vaccaro and Hill had their daughter in November 2024.

“Throughout the marriage [Hill] repeatedly committed acts of physical violence against [Vaccaro] including but not limited to spitting in [Vaccaro’s] face, attempting forcibly to remove [Vaccaro’s] wedding ring from her finger, grabbing [Vaccaro], pushing [Vaccaro], shoving [Vaccaro], pinching [Vaccaro], throwing [Vaccaro] to the ground, twisting and tugging on [Vaccaro’s] intimate body parts, ripping [Vaccaro’s] hair, grabbing [Vaccaro’s] jewelry and clothing, and physically cornering and restraining [Vaccaro] against her will including while she was pregnant with the parties’ minor child and on the day before [Vaccaro] gave birth to the parties’ child,” the amended divorce petition said.

Vaccaro requested that Hill’s deposition be released as Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Spencer Multack in August issued an order to protect evidence in the case from being made public.

Previously, Vaccaro’s attorney Evan Marks did not respond to three Herald inquiries asking if she would cooperate. But TMZ reported that Marks met with league officials in mid-September.

If Vaccaro’s request is granted, the deposition may not be released publicly and its use would be “limited strictly” to the NFL investigation.

Beyond Hill’s major knee injury, an offseason suspension would likely affect Hill’s market value next offseason, if the Dolphins release him.

Hill, who sustained a season ending knee injury in Week 4 against the Jets, is making $27.7 million this season. He’s due to make $29.9 million next season under terms of his current contract, but none of that money is guaranteed and the Dolphins aren’t expected to retain him on that contract.

Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told WSVN-7 that Hill would be interested in playing for the Dolphins next season, if the wide receiver decides to play and if he and the team can reach a contract agreement.
