Bills Star Von Miller Was Arrested on the Charge of Third Degree Felony Assault of His Pregnant Girlfriend

The Gist:

• An arrest warrant was issued for Von Miller following allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend, Megan Denise.
• Miller turned himself in at a police station and was subsequently arrested.
• Denise has since recanted the assault allegations, and the Buffalo Bills general manager is not pulling Miller out of the season.
• Denise is the mother of both of Miller's children, and the two have been together since 2018.

On Nov. 30, 2023, news broke that Bills edge rusher Von Miller had been accused of domestic assault and a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Later that same week, Miller turned himself in at a police station and was arrested. According to NBC, He was released on $5,000 bail. Miller's girlfriend has since recanted the assault allegations against Miller, even though police observed abrasions on her left arm, as well as bruising on her neck, hand, arm, and abdomen.

Following the news, many naturally wanted to learn more about the football player, including who his girlfriend is and how long they've been together.

Miller is currently dating Megan Denise, who was pregnant at the time of the alleged assault, and the two of them share a home in Dallas. Denise is a model and licensed medical esthetician, and she used to be an exotic dancer. She is also a fairly prominent influencer with 1.2 million followers on Instagram. According to The U.S. Sun, Miller and Denise were first spotted together in 2018. Some news outlets are reporting that they are no longer in a relationship.

Denise and Miller share two children, who were born in 2021 and 2023. The children are both quite young, so not much information is publicly available about either of them.

Miller was arrested following Denise's accusation that he physically assaulted her. A physical argument reportedly broke out on Nov. 29, where Miller allegedly bruised Denise's neck, pulled out a chunk of her hair, and threw her on a couch. Miller left the scene before police arrived.

The Bills released a statement after the news broke, saying that they were aware of the situation. “This morning, we were made aware of an incident involving Von Miller. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at this point," the statement said.

The NFL has since published an article stating that Miller believes the assault allegations against him are "100 percent false." Buffalo Bills manager Brandan Beane said he will allow Miller to play out the season.

Beane told NBC, "No one wants their name associated with any accusation like that, so that’s a natural disappointment. I’m sure he’s disappointed,” Beane said. “But things happen sometimes, and again, we have to remember people, we have to give them their fair due process. That can happen to anyone in this room. And I would hope we would all wait and let that play out before we rush to judgment.”

This is not the first time that Miller has been accused of behaving badly toward Denise. In 2021, she released text messages that she said were from him in which he allegedly said he was "praying for a miscarriage" and urged her to get an abortion.
