Its official, Robert Thicke and Paula Patton have indeed split up after 8 years of marriage and will go on their separate ways. Circulations of 5 possible reasons why both Robert Thicke and Paula Patton ended the marriage.
Robert Thicke and Paula Patton announced the news today and released the following statement,
"We will always love each other and be best friends; however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."
Robin Thicke and Paula Patton met back in 1993. They were high school sweethearts back then and met in Los Angeles when Thicke was just 14 and Patton, 16. They married in 2005 and welcomed their only child, son Julian Fuego, in April 2010.
Their last public appearance together was just weeks ago at the Grammy Awards, where Thicke performed and Patton attracted all sorts of attention for her dramatic zebra-striped dress.
While the spouses' tendency to gush profusely about each other has held rumors of trouble on the homefront at bay, reports of possible strife-causing activity on Thicke's part have shadowed the couple for some time.
"I don't know if I would still be alive in some ways if it wasn't for Paula," Thicke said in the September issue of Prestige magazine. "She's been my rock, my muse, my inspiration, and I love her."
Patton added in the same interview "I've been there for his down moments and he's been there for mine. Life is full of peaks and valleys."
When her hubby was named one of People's sexiest men alive in November, the About Last Night star told E! News that the choice "just acknowledges what I always knew was true."
Patton has spent time this month in Vancouver shooting her latest film, Warcraft. She was seen there as recently as Feb. 19, popping into a spa for a facial.
Thicke, meanwhile, cancelled his concerts that were scheduled for last Thursday and Friday in Orlando and Atlanta and was spotted at Disneyland yesterday with Julian.
In an article by Hollywoodlife.com, it cited 5 possible reasons why the couple's marriage went on the rocks. Here are the reasons below:
Naked Girls In Robin Thicke's Music Video
Having multiple naked girls in your music videos is probably not the best way to keep your marriage in a blissful state. Even though Paula laughed off the scantily clad video vixens in Robin's "Blurred Lines" video, you have to wonder if maybe Paula didn't start to question what it was that her husband of nine years was doing behind the scenes.
Robin Twerks On Miley Cyrus During MTV's Video Music Awards
Nothing says happily married husband like twerking on Miley Cyrus! Robin's extremely raunchy performance at the 2013, Aug. 25 VMA Awards with Miley seemed like a big slap in the face to poor Paula.
The 'Mystery Girl Butt Grabbing' Scandal
If grinding and twerking on Miley wasn't enough, how about the now famous "mystery girl butt grab photo" taken at a VMA after party? The image shows Robin hugged up with a fan, and in a reflecting mirror you can clearly see him grabbing this mysterious woman's butt!
Paula was said to have laughed the picture off, but we can't help but wonder whether or not that could have been the first nail in the coffin for their marriage.
Hot Nights In Paris Dance Clubs With Other Women
Back in January, Robin was photographed at the hip Paris club, Club 79. Supposedly he was there partying with Kanye West, but the damning photo shows Robin dancing a little too close with a random Parisian beauty. Not a good look for your marriage, dawg.
He Has Not Been Photographed With Paula Recently
On Feb. 23 Robin took the couple's 3-year-old son Julian to Disney World, after abruptly canceling his performance on Feb. 22 at Universal Orlando due to losing his voice. Strangely, Paula was nowhere to be found. In fact, Robin and Paula have not been photographed together since Jan. 27, which is almost a month of not being seen with the women Robin once referred to as "My rock."
