Sex therapist gives advice to model Haley Baylee after she claimed marriage to NFL star ended because of his '0.01%' penis
A sex therapist has offered some advice after Haley Baylee claimed she had to end her marriage due to her husband's "0.01% penis".
Haley Baylee, or Haley Kalil, filed for divorce from NFL‑lineman Matt Kalil in May 2022.
According to Haley, the reason wasn’t just generic relationship fatigue — “irreconcilable differences” were the legal line, but in her telling, the real litmus test came under the sheets.
Why did Haley and Matt separate?
Appearing on a Twitch livestream with internet personality [Marlon], Haley didn’t hold back: the root of their breakdown, she said, was an intensely practical problem.
She claimed Matt’s manhood “was in the top ‘0.01 per cent’ of the population.”

They went the distance in trying to fix things — from sex therapy to “lipo‑type s**t” in search of a solution. “We were trying to do the damn thing and [putting in work in their marriage],” she said. “That was the biggest factor… Love him, but he’s my homie.”
Despite the raw confession of bedroom dismay, the separation itself remained civil.
“We were really chill people,” Haley emphasized, noting they used the same lawyer and she stayed on his phone plan for years. Matt, she said, was “a really good person” who inspired her to be better.
Meanwhile, since his football retirement (after stints with the Vikings, Panthers and Texans and a Pro Bowl season as a rookie), Matt has moved into business, co‑founding the tequila brand Celaya with his brother, retired NFL player Ryan Kalil. In 2024, Matt married model Keilani Asmus.
Sex Therapist Offers Advice
Dr. Laura Berman, a well-known sex and relationship therapist, chimed in on the issue after hearing Haley’s revelations, per TMZ.
She made it clear that these kinds of situations are more common than people think.
Dr. Berman explained that Haley is “far from alone in finding it difficult to b*ng a partner who is oversized.”
While she stressed that “bigger is not always better,” she pointed out that there are absolutely ways to make it work — if both partners are willing to communicate and take their time.
According to her, things like communication, lubrication, foreplay, planning, and slow playing are essential when size becomes a barrier to comfort.

Dr. Berman responded by explaining that men in this situation need to “communicate with the woman and not rush her.”
She added that vaginas can expand — “babies come out of them after all” — but if a woman is worried about pain, she can tense up, which only makes things worse.
The sex educator, who authored the book Sex Magic, said couples dealing with this issue aren’t alone — it happens more than people talk about.
One of her top tips was for couples to mentally and physically prepare for sex by planning it, something she says can help ease the tension and discomfort. “The Kalils aren't the first couple to separate because of a big penis,” she noted.
Despite the punchline-worthy nature of Haley’s comments, Dr. Berman took it seriously — and advised that couples struggling with this exact problem could definitely benefit from expert guidance.
