Not after you have got your ILR. Your status is now independent of your spouse.

Your marriage status has no impact on your naturalisation application (apart from if you are married to a British citizen, in which case the requirements are different).

You will however, have to ensure that there is a 12 month gap between being granted ILR and the date you apply for BC. That's assuming the divorce decree absolute has been granted by the time you are ready to submit your application.
