It’s official! Paula Patton has filed for divorce from Robin Thicke.
According to a report confirmed by TMZ , Paula Patton filed for divorce in Los Angeles, bringing her nine-year marriage to singer Robin Thicke to an end.
Any discussions about whether or not Robin Thicke cheated on Paula Patton during their marriage are irrelevant when it comes to the terms of their pending divorce settlement and child custody arrangements.
Therefore, the rumors and speculation about cheating scandals will continue to circulate without any closure or confirmation.
When it comes to what will happen with their son, 4-year old Julian , there will not be any lengthy custody battles involved with this divorce. Based on the filings, Paula Patton wants to share joint physical and legal custody with Robin Thicke. The filings state that the divorce between Robin Thicke and Paula Patton is “harmonious” so there really should not be any lengthy courtroom battles or complicated delays over anything related to this dissolution.
It is apparently clear that Paula Patton is eager to move on with her life and is not willing to deal with the “irreconcilable differences” that exist between herself and Robin in any other way.
Since officially separating back in February of this year, Robin Thicke has tried to do a lot in order to win his estranged wife back. In addition to dedicating songs to Paula Patton during his major performances and concert tours, Robin Thicke created an entire album that was dedicated to Paula Patton.
The studio album, which was also named after his wife, was nowhere near as commercially successful as his previous album. However, Robin Thicke did not care. He was clearly trying to do whatever was necessary to get Paula Patton to take him back. Robin Thicke even tried to cut his hair and changed his entire look in order to get Paula Patton’s attention but clearly that did not work very well either.
Since the initial separation was announced and confirmed by Robin Thicke months ago, Paula Patton has been very private — not saying anything publicly about their relationship, the marital problems that led to the separation or their future (or lack thereof).
Now that the divorce is official (with the documentation to prove it), Paula Patton might feel ready to talk about it publicly. On the other hand, Paula will probably handle the divorce the same way that she handled the separation — privately. Only time will tell.
What do you think? Will Paula Patton and Robin Thicke find a way to reconcile before this divorce is finalized, just as Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa are reportedly trying to do? Or, is this really the end of the high school sweethearts’ longtime relationship?
