Abby Wambach's Divorcing Wife, Reveals Rx Abuse

Abby Wambach says she's divorcing her wife Sarah Huffman -- the woman she famously kissed after winning the 2015 World Cup.

Wambach and Huffman were married in 2013. Huffman is a former soccer player who played on a pro team with Wambach.

Wambach says their marriage had been on the rocks since at least April ... when Abby was arrested for drunk driving.

In related news, Wambach is also opening up about her struggles with alcohol and prescription pill abuse -- saying she's been abusing Vicodin, Adderall and Ambien for years.

"I was stubborn and I was in denial," Wambach told the AP.

"That night getting arrested was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Because if I don't get so publicly shamed and publicly humiliated, I don't think I wake up."

Wambach was arrested for DUI in Portland, Oregon on April 3rd. She later pled guilty in the case and has been sober ever since.
