Robin Thicke and Paula Patton couldn’t make it work in the end, as they have decided to separate after nearly nine years of marriage.
When love isn’t enough
“We will always love each other and be best friends; however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time,” the pair said in a joint statement.
“I knew she was special the night I met her. I was only 14, but she was already the most special girl,” Thicke said in a September interview. “As a relationship progresses, you fall in love again in so many deeper ways. You realize that you need each other and you can’t live without each other.”
Third party
The two married in 2005 and have a son together, Julian.
News of separation comes after Thicke was photographed getting close to women other than his wife.
Last year, a socialite claimed she kissed the singer after meeting at a VMAs after-party. While recently, he was seen “dirty dancing” with a woman in Paris.
