DJ Kaskade’s wife, Naomi Raddon, has filed for divorce from the entertainer after nearly 30 years of marriage.
According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, Naomi requested a dissolution of marriage from DJ Kaskade, whose real name is Ryan Gary Raddon, citing irreconcilable differences.
The former couple’s marriage date is noted as August 24, 1996, with the separation date recorded as June 27, 2024, totaling 27 years and 10 months. Naomi and Ryan, 53, have one child together, Isla Raddon, who is 14.
In the filing, Naomi is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their daughter.
She is also requesting that the court hold Ryan accountable for spousal support and her legal fees
“Petitioner [Naomi] will list and itemize any and all separate assets and obligations as and when the same are fully ascertained, and/or will seek leave to amend this Petition accordingly, and/or will list such separate assets and debts in her Declaration of Disclosure,” the dissolution of marriage states.
In a June 2023 profile of the “I Remember” hitmaker, Deseret News reported that Kaskade met Naomi, a helicopter pilot, through mutual friends at a show in Provo, Utah, while he was taking classes at the University of Utah.
The couple connected over their mutual passion for snowboarding, according to the outlet.
“Honestly, my story begins there,” he told the outlet of his very first gig as a DJ in a downtown venue called Club Manhattan.
“I made, like, $300 or something,” Ryan said. “I was like, ‘They pay me to play records? This is insane. This is what I’m supposed to do with my life.’ ”
DJ Kaskade is said to be one of the highest-paid DJs in the world, with an estimated net worth of $60 million in 2023.
