The professional football player-turned-basketball executive had his share of rough patches throughout his 30-year marriage. He and Clair share two children, a son and a daughter, sadly, their daughter Alina was 15 when she tragically died in 2015 from an undisclosed illness.
Alina is reported to have a long-term illness. “The family requests and appreciates their privacy during this difficult time and would like to thank everyone for their love, support, thoughts and prayers,” they said at the time.
By then, Kupchak had taken over the Laker front office from Jerry West and had to deal with the tragedy publicly.

Just a year later, Kupchak’s son, who was then 19 years old, was accused by Canadian actress Claudia DiFolco of stalking and assault. The Laker manager’s son allegedly slashed the tires on DiFolco’s car, poured syrup into the engine, and threw a brick through the window all allegedly because he didn’t “properly acknowledge” his mother at a restaurant.
He allegedly couldn’t let go of the hatred his mother received, so he apparently, “recruited three other men to terrorize plaintiff Claudia DiFolco and damage her home and car … in a violent and vengeful attempt to get revenge on behalf of his mother.”
He was also allegedly caught on security camera with his “cronies” spray painting rocks on his walkway. The couple has never spoken publicly about the allegations and in the end, everything was handled in court but clearly, the pressure has gotten to this family in the past and it seems to be getting to them this time.
Kupchak’s Divorce Could Be Very Expensive

In 2017, Kupchak was fired as GM of the Lakers but he quickly found another job in 2018 as president of basketball operations and a side gig as general manager of the Charlotte Hornets. After a long career in professional basketball, it’s clear that GM has quite a bit of wealth. Plus, after being together for 30 years, it’s more likely to split in the middle.
Bottom line, there will be a lot of money, and assets to split between the two.
Mitch has yet to respond to the divorce.
