Anderson .Paak Files for Divorce After 13 Years of Marriage
In a surprising turn of events, Grammy-winning artist Anderson .Paak has officially filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Jaylyn Chang. The musician, born Brandon Paak Anderson, submitted the divorce documents, expressing his desire for the dissolution of their marriage and seeking joint physical and legal custody of their two children.
According to TMZ, .Paak has petitioned the court to terminate its ability to award spousal support to Jaylyn Chang. The estranged couple shares two children, Soul Rasheed (13) and Shine Tariq (6). Legal proceedings are currently underway to fairly divide the couple’s assets and property.
.Paak and Jaylyn Chang’s journey began when they met while she was a music student in South Korea. The artist, who faced challenging times before finding musical success, spoke openly about their struggles, including a period of homelessness after he was fired from a cannabis farm in 2011.
Despite past marriages, .Paak had emphasized the significance of his second marriage during an interview on The Breakfast Club, calling it “the one that truly matters.” The couple welcomed their second child in 2017.
On the professional front, Anderson .Paak hinted at new music collaborations last year, particularly with Knxwledge.
