Dr. Dre‘s wife, Nicole Young, has filed for divorce from the hip-hop mogul after 24 years of marriage.
According to TMZ, Young filed the divorce suit on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation while also demanding spousal support.
The news outlet also reported that the duo do not have a prenup — a written contract entered into by a couple prior to marriage detailing what happens when the union eventually ends by death or divorce.
The couple tied the knot in 1996. They were last seen in public together at the Tom Ford fashion show in February this year.
Their union has been blessed with two children — Truice, their 23-year-old son, and Truly, their 19-year-old daughter. The duo were also said to have been in failed relationships before their marriage.
Dre, whose real name is Andre Romelle Young, had four children from his previous relationships.
Nicole, who is a lawyer, was previously married to Sedale Threatt, a retired National Basketball Association (NBA) player.
In 2019, Forbes estimated the music mogul’s net worth at $800 million, putting him at number 2; on the year’s list of wealthiest hip-hop artistes.
He had completed the year on an impressive note; leap-frogging artists like Beyoncé and Jay-Z to top the music earner of the decade list.
Dr. Dre and Young aren’t the only celebrity couple calling it quits in 2020. On June 2, Kelly Clarkson filed court papers in Los Angeles to end her marriage to Brandon Blackstock, also citing irreconcilable differences.
