Princess Love Announces Divorce from Ray J for a Fourth Time: 'Our Paths Have Diverged'
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The couple's divorce was called off for a third time in March 2023
It’s over for Ray J and Princess Love — again.
One year after the “Sexy Can I” singer had his divorce filing dismissed for a third time, Love announced on social media that the couple have gone their separate ways.
“It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our decision to divorce. After much reflection, discussion, and counseling, we have come to the difficult realization that our paths have diverged, and it is in the best interest of both of us to part ways,” she wrote in a statement shared to Instagram on Monday.
“We want to reassure you that this decision was made thoughtfully and with mutual respect and consideration for each other’s well-being. While our relationship as spouses may be coming to an end, we remain committed to co-parenting our children and maintaining a positive and supportive family dynamic.”
Ray J, 43, and Love, 39, were married in Los Angeles in August 2016 after four years of dating, and share daughter Melody, 5, and son Epik, 4.
In the caption of her Instagram post, Love added that she was “trusting GOD with the next chapter of our lives.”
The divorce filing marks the latest step in the pair’s tumultuous relationship, which has played out on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood.
Ray J and Love first experienced marital turbulence in 2019, when Love claimed she planned to file for divorce after accusing the singer of leaving her and Melody “stranded” in Las Vegas.
By that December, though, they’d reconciled, and Ray J told PEOPLETV’s Reality Check that he was “sorry for all the things that happened” between them.
“Well, first off, let me say, Princess, I love you baby… We cool now and we’ll work it out,” he said. “I know you still mad at me, but as a couple, you go through things and it just got a little bit out of hand. Sometimes it gets out to the public and then everybody has their opinion on it, but we’re good though, as parents and as friends and as husband and wife. We just went through something.”

Though they welcomed son Epik in December 2019, Love filed for divorce in May 2020, only to ask for the filing to be dismissed two months later.
Ray J then filed for divorce in September 2020, but agreed to call things off in March 2021. He later filed again that October, but was officially granted a dismissal in March 2023.
In January 2023, he offered fans a glimpse at his personal life with Love, explaining in an Instagram video that he “had to get my wife back and start fresh.”
“I love my family!! I'll fight over and over for life for my family and kids!! - I’ll put it all on the line for my children to be happy and safe and close to me 24/7!!!” he wrote.
