Anderson .Paak has reportedly filed for divorce from his wife of roughly 13 years, Jae Lin. As reported by TMZ, the Silk Sonic singer recently filed legal documents asking for a dissolution of marriage along with joint legal and physical custody of their two children. He’s also requesting a visitation schedule. As far as assets and property, .Paak and his legal team are still working out those details.
.Paak wrote “TBD” when asked to divulge their separation date, so it’s unclear how long they’ve been on the outs. .Paak has been private about his personal life, so the divorce petition is shocking to some of his fans, who didn’t appear to know he was even married. As on person tweeted, “i just learned Anderson .Paak is married, a father of two, and a soon-to-be divorcee all in the span of like 30 seconds.” Another added simply, “To be honest I had no idea Anderson .Paak was married.”

Anderson .Paak’s career, on the other hand, has been very much front and center for the last few years. In addition to his own solo success, he found notoriety as one-half of Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars. The duo performed at the 2022 Grammy Awards in Las Vegas and took home four trophies: Best R&B Performance, Record of the Year, Best R&B Song and Song of the Year for “Leave The Door Open.”
But evidently, .Paak’s personal life wasn’t as smooth. The disbelief of his union was evident across the Twitter (X) timeline after the news broke. Find a few of the reactions below.
