The couple split in 2020 after nearly seven years of marriage, sparking a lengthy legal battle over custody, property, and finances. More recently, the 48-year-old has been facing a private health battle, which the singer, 43, acknowledged in 2025 while postponing part of her Las Vegas residency to be present for their children.
