Amy Sherrill is the former wife of San Antonio Spurs basketball star Tim Duncan. They married in July 2001, had two children together and divorced in August 2013 after 12 years of marriage. Contemporary reporting identifies her as Amy Duncan, the name used during their marriage.
Her documented history also includes cheerleading at Wake Forest University and an executive position with the Tim Duncan Foundation. University sources provide useful details about both connections without relying on the personal claims repeated in celebrity profiles.
Their relationship began at Wake Forest
Sherrill and Duncan were college sweethearts at Wake Forest, where he played basketball and she was a cheerleader, according to the San Antonio Express-News. Stanford Athletics independently confirms her cheerleading background in its official biography of their daughter, Sidney Duncan.
The couple married in July 2001 and became parents to two children during their marriage. Stanford’s profile identifies Sidney’s parents as Tim Duncan and Amy Sherrill, connecting the name readers search today with the Amy Duncan named in earlier news coverage.
Her role in the Tim Duncan Foundation
Sherrill’s charitable work is one of the clearest documented parts of her biography beyond the marriage.
Wake Forest’s 2003–04 basketball media guide states that Amy and Tim created the Tim Duncan Foundation in November 2001. It identifies Amy as the organization’s executive vice president at that time.
The guide describes the foundation’s focus as health education and research, education, and opportunities for young people to participate in sports and recreation. Its work served San Antonio, Winston-Salem and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This establishes a specific historical leadership role for Sherrill, rather than simply an association with her husband’s charitable activities.
The marriage ended in August 2013
Amy filed for divorce in late March 2013, citing discord and conflict in the marriage, KSAT reported. Tim subsequently filed a counterpetition. Those reported grounds describe the breakdown of the marriage; they do not establish the more detailed personal allegations that have circulated online.
The divorce was granted on August 20, 2013. The San Antonio Express-News reported that Judge David A. Canales conducted the hearing at the offices of Tim’s lawyer, with both spouses and their lawyers present.
KSAT’s report the following day said details concerning the division of assets and child custody had not been released. That coverage therefore provides no basis for assigning Sherrill a particular settlement amount. A divorce settlement would also be different from her present-day net worth, which would require separate financial evidence.
What is known about Amy Sherrill today?
The reliable sources reviewed for this article do not establish Sherrill’s current occupation, residence or relationship status, or a substantiated personal net worth. They also do not provide sufficient evidence to state an exact birth date.
Stanford’s official profile of Sidney continues to identify Sherrill as her mother and records her Wake Forest cheerleading background. It does not offer an update on Sherrill’s own career or relationships. Her university connections, foundation role and marriage history should therefore be understood as documented biographical facts, rather than a description of her life today.
