Owens married Rachel Snider last January, but the union ended two weeks later when she filed for divorce. Snider, a former postal worker, told TMZ she was used so that he could obtain a $2 million home loan in California.
Despite Snider's claims, Owens said he is keeping a smile on his face.
"I have to put on a good smile and keep my head up … I can't worry about what everybody else thinks or any allegations," the former NFL star told Hip Hollywood previously.
Last year, Owens opened up about having emotional issues when speaking to spiritual counselor Iyanla Vanzant. Vanzant, the host of the OWN Network's "Iyanla Fix My Life" where Owens appeared, helped the former NFL wide receiver realize that his talent has overshadowed his emotional well being.
"You've become a victim of your talent. People never stopped to ask you, 'Terrell Owens, how you be? How you be,'" Vanzant told Owens. "You can run fast but how's your heart? You can catch a ball but how's your soul?"
Owens took to his Twitter to share Vanzant's prayer for him last year.
"My prayer is that TO's story will teach us not to be so quick to judge and condemn w/o knowing the whole story," Vanzant tweeted to a fan in a message that Owens reposted.
After the most recent negative reports about him, the football player reposted a spiritual prophecy that Reverend Derrick L. Young of Abundant Life International Fellowship Inc. shared with him on Twitter recently.
"@terrellowens #Prophecy: #God just said, 'I am about to turn your setback into a set up!' #Jesus," the message reposted by Owens reads.
