Former Auburn football star Robert Shiver has been in the news for a couple of weeks now.

Shiver, a long snapper for the Auburn Tigers between 2006 and 2008, made headlines following his wife's arrest in the Bahamas. His wife, Lindsay Shiver, was arrested by the Bahamian police in July after they uncovered a plot by her and two others to kill her husband.

After Robert Shiver's college football career at Auburn, he didn't proceed to have a professional football career. Although he got an opportunity to train with the Atlanta Falcons in 2009 after signing as a free agent, nothing came of it. Instead, Shiver entered the insurance industry and started working for Senior Life Insurance Company the same year.

He has remained at the company since then, rising through the ranks to become an “integral part of the company's operations” through his “persistence and commitment,” according to the company’s website. Shiver's present role within the company includes agent development, recruitment and strategic growth.


Robert Shiver's marital troubles

Robert Shiver and his wife, Lindsay, met in 2007 while they were both students at Auburn University.

The couple took steps to solidify their relationship and got married. They were blessed with three kids.

However, things turned sour after Shiver reportedly became suspicious of his wife's infidelity. He filed for divorce on April 5, 2023, while his wife filed for divorce the following day.

In his suit, Robert Shiver listed his wife's infidelity as his reason for wanting a divorce. He also stated that he believes the marriage is broken beyond repair. In her filing, Lindsay Shiver mentioned that she'd incurred debt beyond her means to pay. She stated that her husband should be made to pay the debt.

The Bahamian police, while investigating a separate matter, discovered incriminating chats between Lindsay and her barman boyfriend, Adrien Bethel. The duo and another conspirator, alleged assassin Faron Newbold Jr., were arrested and charged with conspiracy to murder.

They appeared in court in July. They were not required to enter a plea during that hearing. However, the three have been granted bail while they await subsequent hearings. Reportedly, it was Shiver who paid the bail.

Lindsay Shiver is scheduled to appear in court again on Oct. 5.
