This tragedy has left all of our families heartbroken beyond words,” reads the joint statement from the Biffle, Grossu, Dutton, and Lunders families.

Who is Greg Biffle's ex-wife, Nicole Lunders?

Biffle is survived by his parents and his ex-wife, Nicole Lunders, with whom he shared a daughter, Emma. The former couple dated for several years before tying the knot in October 2007. They separated in March 2015 amid mutual infidelity accusations and filed for a divorce a year later. Their nine-year marriage ended up in a messy legal battle, with Lunders suing Biffle for violating her privacy by having security cameras installed in their bedroom and bathroom areas, per ESPN.

The 2018 lawsuit awarded her $250,000 in punitive damages. According to court filings, Biffle discovered through the security cameras that Lunders was having an alleged affair with her tennis instructor, whom Biffle sued, claiming “alienation of affection,” in a separate lawsuit. The trial included accusations of infidelity on both sides, per the outlet.

Following the news of Biffle and his family's death, tributes started pouring in, with netizens sending prayers for Lunders over the loss of her daughter. “Pray for Nicole Lunders,” one X user wrote. “She is the ex-wife of Greg Biffle and mother of his daughter. She just lost her baby girl.”
