Mary J. Blige has filed for divorce from her manager husband, Kendu Isaacs, after 12 years of marriage, Us Weekly can confirm.
Mary J. Blige’s rep released a statement about the divorce to Us Weekly on Thursday, July 28. “Ms. Blige is saddened to say it is true that she has filed for divorce, saying sometimes things don’t work how we hoped they would… but there is a divine plan and a reason for everything,” the statement read. “Mary will continue writing and working on her album, which is due out later this year, along with her world tour. She thanks and appreciates her fans for their support and love through this very difficult emotional time.”
The R&B singer, 45, filed court documents on Tuesday, July 26. According to TMZ, she cited irreconcilable differences and listed the date of separation as “to be determined.” She requested that Isaacs not receive spousal support.
