After almost 9-years of marriage, Robin Thicke and Paula Patton have announced that they are separating.

The former couple announced the news via People, saying in a statement, "We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."

Thicke first met Patton when he was 14 (he is now 36) and they have been married since June 2005. They have a son together whom they named Julian Fuego Thicke in April of 2010.

They were last spotted together at the 2014 Grammy Awards, but divorce rumors have been swirling since Thicke's super racy "Blurred Lines" video and VMAs performance.

Not to mention that time he groped someone who wasn't his wife. Which sounds about right for someone voted one of the Villains of the Year.
