After 20 years of marriage, Outkast member Big Boi and his wife Sherlita Patton have called it quits.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the divorce is final.
Big Boi, real name Antwan Patton, filed for divorce in April. His filing claimed there was “no reasonable hope of reconciliation” with Sherlita and the pair had already been living separately.
It was also reported that they agreed to not make any threats of “injury, maltreating, molesting, harassing, harming, or abusing.”
The 47-year-old rapper and entrepreneur tied the knot with Sherlita back in March 2002. They share two children: daughter Jordan, 27, and son Cross, 21. He also has a son named Bamboo, 22, from another relationship.
Sherlita first filed for divorce from the Outkast performer in 2013, claiming their marriage was “irretrievably broken” and demanded financial support and complete custody. He responded with a request for joint custody of Cross, then 12, and claimed Sherlita was able to support herself.
The couple reconciled the following year, and Big Boi chalked it up to “Jesus” at the time. “A family that prays together stays together,” he told TMZ in 2014.
Two years later, Big Boi and Sherlita privately signed a postnuptial agreement that divided up their assets and debts.
For the past few years, the couple has been ending things secretly but kept the process amicable.
