Ricky cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the breakup. In the divorce filing obtained by The Blast, the musician demanded joint custody of their children, revealing he has no problem paying for his soon-to-be ex-husband's attorney's fees per their premarital agreement.

One point of possible contention could be the date of separation, as it's listed as "To Be Determined."

Their divorce comes on the heels of the singer's legal woes. As RadarOnline.com reported, Ricky recently settled a $3 million battle with his ex-manager, who claimed she helped him hide “potentially career-ending allegations.”

Ricky was also accused of stalking and harassing his nephew, who claimed the two had a relationship. The star denied the allegations, and the case was eventually dismissed.
