Robin Thicke and Paula Patton are separating after nearly
nine years of marriage. "We will always love each other and be best friends,
however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time," the couple
said in a joint statement to People magazine Monday (Feb. 24). The two married in June 2005 and welcomed their son, Julian,
in 2010. News of the split comes after Thicke was photographed
getting close to women other than his wife. In September, a socialite claimed
she kissed the "Blurred Lines" singer after meeting at a VMAs
after-party at 1Oak. In January, he was seen "dirty dancing" with a
woman in Paris, FishWrapper reported.
Thicke, 36, and Patton, 38, met when they were just
teenagers. “I knew she was special the night I met her. I was only 14,
but she was already the most special girl," he told Star magazine in
September. “As a relationship progresses, you fall in love again in so many
deeper ways. You realize that you need each other and you can’t live without
each other." That same month, the actress gushed about her marriage
during an interview with YourTango. "He loves me so much and the feeling is mutual,"
she said. "The best is when you love someone deeply and those feelings are
equally returned. Also, Robin is really there for me. When times are good or
bad or sad or happy or boring, just having somebody by your side to help you
through means everything. I know I can count on him standing right next to me
always."
Even though they have split here are some of their fashionable moments
