Nearly 15 years after tying the knot in April 2006, Joe Don Rooney quietly filed for divorce from Tiffany Fallon in January 2021, TMZ reported in January. Two years into it, the legal dissolution of their marriage remains far from over. Rooney and Fallon, who share three children born between 2008 and 2014, indicated the divorce would be difficult from the get-go. In April 2021, the 2005 Playmate of the Year responded to his petition with one in which she contended the guitarist’s “inappropriate marital conduct” caused the end of the relationship, according to People.
This is where things got really ugly. In her filing, Fallon accused Rooney of abusing drugs and alcohol, which he denied. Then both brought up affairs, with Rooney pointing out Fallon had been seeing her personal trainer since before he filed for divorce. Fallon reportedly admitted to the affair but argued that her relationship with Rooney was already broken as a consequence of his behavior. “[Rooney] had fully withdrawn from their marital relationship due, [among other things], to habitual alcoholism and drug use,” her document claimed.

Amid the back and forth, Rooney also admitted to adultery, but continued to deny his alcohol use caused the rift between them. Here is where Rooney’s personal life affected his career. Because Fallon is requesting that Rooney pay her alimony in case Rascal Flatts goes on tour again, he is refusing to play again, according to Radar.
