Akon’s wife Tomeka Thiam has filed for divorce from the musician, just shy of the couple’s 29th wedding anniversary.
According to reports, Thiam cites irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the divorce.
According to PEOPLE, Thaim requested joint legal custody of Journey, and requested she have physical custody of the teen and Akon, 52, get visitation. She also requested spousal support, and asked the court not to award the “Smack That” singer any spousal support.
Akon (legal name: Aliaune Badara Thiam) and Tomeka Thiam have been married since Sept. 15, 1996 — meaning the filing comes just days ahead of their 29th wedding anniversary.
So far, Akon is yet to publicly react to the divorce news.
