In the latest twist of the ongoing saga between Ray J and Princess Love, the singer has filed for joint custody of their two children amidst their divorce proceedings.
Love, aged 39, initiated the divorce proceedings last month, marking the fourth instance of such a move during their tumultuous relationship.
Ray J’s recent legal maneuver involves seeking joint legal and physical custody of their young children, namely their daughter Melody, aged 5, and son Epik, aged 4, as per documents sourced by reliable channels.
Additionally, the singer has requested spousal support from Love, although the exact amount remains undetermined at this stage.
The legal paperwork also addresses the division of assets, including various personal belongings and the singer’s income. It also alludes to undisclosed separate assets and obligations, the specifics of which are currently unknown.
The unraveling of their marriage gained public attention on February 26 when Love shared a heartfelt statement on Instagram announcing their decision to divorce after nearly eight years of marriage.
The statement emphasized their commitment to co-parenting and maintaining a positive family environment despite their marital split. It also urged for privacy and respect during this challenging period.
Love’s announcement marks the fourth time the couple has parted ways, with the first instance occurring in spring 2020.
Ray J and Princess Love exchanged vows in 2016 at The Cathedral Of St. Vibiana in Los Angeles. Their marital troubles first surfaced in May 2020, following a heated altercation in Las Vegas.
Subsequent disputes and reconciliations followed, including a dramatic incident in November 2019 during Love’s second pregnancy, which led to conflicting accounts of events.
Despite their rollercoaster relationship, they managed to reconcile multiple times, relocating to Florida with their children at one point. However, Ray J initiated divorce proceedings again in October 2021, only to retract his filings in March 2023.
The cycle of separation and reconciliation has kept fans and observers captivated, highlighting the complexities of their relationship dynamics.
