The thread title, didn't initialy have D'Amato's last name in it. The NY Times article states the following: "Real life is full of loose ends, and that message was underscored for Ms. D’Amato when, a few months after she finished writing the book, her marriage ended.
Moving forward, we are going to require registration to post in this thread. Remember, it's quite possible the people you are writing about will read what you write.
100%. Not using her full name while simultaneously linking to a paywalled post is vague-posting garbage that offers no value to the people reading the post.
She is nowhere near famous enough to be referred to by one name.
I'm a middle-aged-suburban-mom who doesn't know how to post screenshots. But I did go to high school with Tony. This is copied from his FB:
"Life update as reported in NYT article (link below): Four months after moving the family to Park City, and four days after purchasing a home together in Park City, Keira communicated during the week of Thanksgiving that she was done being married and wanted a divorce. Ten months into being separated, I'm still shocked and confused... maybe I'll write a book about it • #WelcometoDivorcedDadLife"

That’s wild. Feel bad for him and the kids.
She has to know her running career is on the other side? Midlife crisis? Someone else? Just … wow.
I gotta wonder - do you wait until right after the big move to divorce so that you can move without having to worry about custody battles messing with your plans to train in Utah? Seems extremely manipulative from the outside looking in.
Also, do you wait until right after you close on the new house with the hope that the court makes them help pay for your new house in Utah for a while until the residuals from your book come in?

What residuals? Who is going to read her book? It doesn’t even include the juicy divorce details. The premise of her story is lame.
You gotta do something like Shalane’s cookbooks to get hobbyjoggers interested.

If she does the podcast rounds it'll sell like hotcakes.

100%.
She knew exactly what she was doing. Totally planned.
Most women dont make spur of the moment decisions like this.

Like Call Her Daddy? Lmao
Whatever podcasts that middle aged suburban hobby jogger women listen to. Pretty much any run group in the suburbs has 30 women who would buy this book - "she's just like me!" That same demographic is probably the largest demographic that buys books in 2025.
That is the single strangest stylistic choice I’ve ever seen in a sports piece. Why carry the ms. and mr. for every single person in the story? Is it purely to hammer home over and over again that she is now divorced?

It’s general NYT style. From the first story on the front page:
A key congressional committee on Monday released a note and sexually suggestive drawing containing what appeared to be Donald J. Trump’s signature that was included in a book for the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003 — a drawing that Mr. Trump has insisted he did not create.
