Troy Aikman’s separation from Catherine “Capa” Mooty has been a topic of interest, especially when details of their split gradually emerged. Before marrying Mooty, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback was in a ten-year marriage with Rhonda Worthey, which ended in 2011. Initially, Aikman aimed for privacy during that period and chose to keep his subsequent divorce from Mooty even more discreet. Initially, he openly shared about their relationship, as evidenced by his announcement of their engagement on Instagram in June 2017, followed by their marriage in September of the same year.
Five years later, a bit of controversy stirred when Aikman appeared to have a new girlfriend, Haley Clark, with photos of them vacationing in Italy surfacing on her Instagram. This led fans to question his marital status, as there was no public mention or indication of his separation from Mooty. However, reports surfaced in June 2023, notably by The New York Post, revealing that Aikman and Mooty had been separated since 2020 but hadn’t made it public. Insights from Mooty’s Instagram hinted at their post-divorce relationship, revealing her continued interactions with Aikman’s children.
Despite the divorce, Mooty remained connected to Aikman’s kids. Reports in July 2023 suggested an amicable relationship, with both still involved in each other’s lives, particularly with regard to their respective children. This closeness was evident in Mooty’s Instagram posts, where she celebrated and congratulated Aikman’s daughter on various milestones, showcasing a continued bond between them.
Mooty maintained a visible online presence regarding the Aikman family, regularly posting about her former stepdaughters even years after her divorce from Troy. In these posts, she expressed joy and fondness for spending time with them, exemplifying an enduring connection. In contrast, Aikman took a more private stance, removing shared photos, including engagement and wedding snapshots, from his Instagram. Meanwhile, Mooty, under the username “CapaAikman,” retained photos of her time with Aikman, indicating a mutually respectful relationship between the former couple.
Notably, Mooty kept several Instagram posts expressing affection for her ex-husband, such as a heartfelt tribute on their second wedding anniversary. Her continued display of these moments alongside the former NFL quarterback implied a cordial rapport between them. However, minor controversy arose when romantic photos of Aikman and his girlfriend, Haley Clark, circulated online, marking their relationship public, while Aikman himself refrained from sharing about his new partner on his Instagram profile.
