Rhonda Worthey Ran into Trouble with the Law Shortly after Her Divorce from Troy Aikman

Rhonda Worthey begged for police officers to spare her and her ex-husband the "hurt" of appearing on TV after she was caught intoxicated in public. Her run-in with the law was one of the few times she made headlines, as she has led a private life following her divorce.

After years of marriage and welcoming two children, Rhonda and Troy went their separate ways in a discrete divorce hearing in 2012. According to her social media, Rhonda has remained a single woman while her retired quarterback ex-husband has given marriage a second chance.

She has kept a low profile since her arrest, and while she was fearful of causing Troy "hurt" after her arrest, the exes have been able to co-parent their two children and posed for a picture at their daughter's graduation.

Rhonda Worthey's Marriage to Troy Was Not Her First Marriage

Born in November 1968 in Paris, Texas, Rhonda was 31 when she and Troy, who was 33, said, 'I do.' While Troy only has two children from his relationship with Rhonda, she entered her second marriage with a 9-year-old daughter from her first marriage.

Rhonda and her former husband tied the knot in the suburbs of north Dallas, his hometown. And while their marriage did not last, on their wedding day, a member of Troy's security staff said:

"Troy is very, very happy."

Rhonda's ex-husband announced his retirement from the NFL during a press conference

Rhonda began working in Public Relations for the Dallas Cowboys in 1992 but no longer holds the position. It is unclear what she does for a living currently, but over the years, she has remained in her home of Texas.

Rhonda and Troy's Wedding Was Not a Raucous Affair

Before their April wedding in 2000, Rhonda and Troy, a former Cowboys player, were joined by their family and friends at their rehearsal dinner. The guest list included Cowboys coaches and teammates Daryl Johnston, Bill Bates, Emmitt Smith, Mark Stepnoski, and Kevin Gogan.

On their special day, the ex-couple opted for an intimate ceremony consisting of only their closest friends and family in their home on a Saturday afternoon. Later, they celebrated their marriage with a larger crowd of guests surrounded by bouquets of yellow and pink flowers.

A year after getting married, Rhonda's ex-husband announced his retirement from the NFL during a press conference on April 9, 2001, in Dallas. Troy won 3 Super Bowl Championships following 12 years with the Dallas Cowboys.

Nuances of Troy and Rhonda's Divorce

Rhonda was arrested for public intoxication after police officers found her in a high school parking lot in Texas.

In January 2011, Rhonda and her ex-husband announced that they were getting a divorce after ten years of marriage. They shared the news in a joint statement that read:

"We remain deeply committed to our children ... during this period of adjustment."

In the documents obtained, Rhonda's second marriage was legally terminated on April 12, 2011. In the months leading to their separation, Rhona and Troy divided their family assets, and it was revealed that Rhonda gave up her stake in the family mansion.

She took her name off the deed to the home in Dallas but bought a house worth $1.5 million in Dallas as well months later. In 2012, Rhonda's ex paid her $1.75 million as part of their marital property agreement.

Rhonda Worthey Broke the Law Shortly after Her Divorce

In August 2012, Rhonda was arrested for public intoxication after police officers found her in a high school parking lot in Texas. Officers of the Murphy Police Department were dispatched to McMillen High School on a Monday morning to investigate a suspicious car parked in the high school parking lot.

Rhonda was transported to the police station and later released from custody.

Upon arrival on the scene, they found Rhonda in the driver's seat with the engine switched off. In the police report, Rhonda was said to have "fumbled" out of the car, and there was "a strong odor of alcohol" permeating from her vehicle.

Through slurred words, Rhonda denied being intoxicated. However, the police report said she could barely control her body movement.

Rhonda pleaded "no contest" to her charge in exchange for 30 days probation

After refusing to step out of her car, officers "forcefully removed" Rhonda and detained her, declaring her a danger to herself and others.

Officers found two bottles filled with a yellow liquid that smelled like alcohol, a prescription drug used to treat seizures and panic disorders, and a small dog in the car. Rhonda was transported to the police station and later released from custody.

An unidentified male who said he was dating Rhonda claimed she was on her way to her mother's house when she got lost and ended up in the high school parking lot.

In video footage of Rhonda's arrest, she can be heard saying, "If you do this, it'll be on the TV... it's going to hurt Troy; it's going hurt me. Is that what your goal is?"

Rhonda pleaded "no contest" to her charge in exchange for 30 days probation, after which the underlying charge would be dropped if she stayed out of trouble.
