Michelle was released early because she’s currently breastfeeding a 6-month-old baby. The drama comes after the singer accused The Black Keys drummer of cheating on her.

On Thursday, Michelle released a statement announcing she was divorcing Patrick but didn’t mention the arrest.

She said, “To say that I am totally devastated doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family. The rug has been completely pulled from underneath me and now I must figure out how to move forward. With such small children, I ask for privacy and kindness.”

The couple has shown no signs of trouble on social media. Michelle posted a photo of her hanging with Patrick on Father’s Day with their son captioned, ‘This guy makes our world go around and we love him so. I’m sorry you didn’t get to golf yesterday,”
