Joumana Kidd is the wife of Jason Kidd, NBA basketball point guard. Joumana Kidd is also a television reporter for NBA Entertainment.
Jason Kidd filed for divorce from his wife of 10 years on January 9, 2007.

According to the complaint, Joumana Kidd used the couple's 8-year-old son on Dec. 27 to sneak into the Nets locker room and rummage through Jason Kidd's locker to find his cell phone. After looking up the names and numbers on it, the complaint said Joumana Kidd left her son behind as she went upstairs to take a front row seat, where she shouted insults at Jason Kidd throughout the game.
The papers accuse Joumana Kidd of kicking, hitting, punching and throwing household objects at her husband as Joumana Kidd became "increasingly controlling and manipulative" in the last few years of their union.

According to Kidd, his wife allegedly had tracking devices installed on his cars and computers and has harassed his trainer, friends and family.

The Kidds were married in 1997 and live in Saddle River, NJ. They were involved in a domestic violence matter six years ago when he was playing for the Phoenix Suns.
In that incident, Jason Kidd was arrested in January 2001 after his wife told police he hit her during an argument over their son, Trey Jason (T.J.), who was 2 at the time. Kidd pleaded guilty to spousal abuse, was fined $200 and ordered to take anger management training.

The Kidds have 4-year-old twin daughters, Miah and Jazelle, and an 8-year-old son, T.J.
