Ben Zobrist and his now-estranged wife Julianna's marital problems stemming from her cheating with their family pastor Byron Yawn are still unfolding. The recent development in their story is how Julianna had "coaxed" Zobrist into going back to work in the face of him finding out that she had allegedly been cheating. This piece of information has been made public after Julianna claimed additional $4 million in divorce saying this is the money he failed to preserve by deciding to not honor his contract with his club which directly affected their household income.

Former Major League Baseball (MLB) star Ben Zobrist accused his wife of having an affair with their married pastor Yawn and sought $6 million in damages. He filed the lawsuit in May 2021 against Julianna who he has been married to since 2005 and they have three children. In the lawsuit, Zobrist also dragged Yawn for committing fraud via Zobrist's charity where he was employed. Yawn had also given marriage counseling to the Zobrists as well as individually counseled Zobrist who faced anxiety and depression in 2016. The lawsuit revealed Julianna and Yawn entered a sexual relationship in 2019, a year after using burner phones to communicate. The lid on their affair was blown after Yawn's wife found the burner phones and informed Zobrist.
