Music superstar Akon is reportedly facing a major shakeup in his personal life, as his wife has allegedly filed for divorce after nearly three decades of marriage.
Per a report published late on Friday by TMZ, the couple—who have shared 29 years together—are said to be heading for a split, marking the end of what many fans considered one of the industry’s most enduring unions.
Details surrounding the divorce filing remain sketchy, but sources suggest irreconcilable differences may have played a role.

According to a different story, Tomeka Thiam, Akon’s wife, filed for divorce four days prior to their 29th wedding anniversary, claiming that they couldn’t agree.
Akon, known globally for hits like Lonely, Smack That, and Locked Up, has often kept his family life out of the spotlight despite his high-profile music career and business ventures.
The singer, who has spoken in the past about his views on relationships and marriage, has not yet publicly commented on the latest developments.
