The
bombastic
bob-wearer
keeps
his
personal
life
under
wraps,
so
news
of
the
split
comes
as
a
shock.
Many
didn’t
even
know
that
Anderson (born
Brandon
Paak
Anderson)
was
married
with
children
throughout
his
career.
TMZ reports
the
Silk
Sonic
singer
filed
for
divorce
on
Friday
after
13
years
of
marriage.
Unlike
many
recent
bombshell
celebrity
divorces,
the
filing
doesn’t
give
much
detail
about
why
the
couple
split.
It
seems
somewhat
abrupt,
with
no
indication
of
how
long
the
relationship
was
on
the
rocks
either.
For
the
date
of
their
separation,
Anderson
simply
wrote
“TBD.”
The
only
thing
that’s
explicit
in
the
divorce
paperwork
so
far
is
that
Anderson
plans
to
“Leave
The
Door
Open”
for
copacetic
co-parenting.
Instead
of
an
all-or-nothing
custody
battle,
Anderson
requested
joint
legal
and
physical
custody
with
Jae
Lin.
They
share
two
sons,
Soul,
13,
and
Shine,
6.
In
a
2016
interview
on
The
Breakfast
Club, the
Grammy
winner
opened
up
about
the
marriage.
He
had
a
short
first
marriage
to
a
girl
he
met
at
church
when
he
was
young,
but
said
Jae
Lin
was
“the
one
that
matters.”
Their
romance
started
after
they
met
as
students
at
the
same
music
school.
Anderson
worked
there
as
a
teaching
assistant
to
afford
to
stay
enrolled.
Jae
Lin
stayed
by
his
side
while
he
struggled
to
make
it
as
an
artist.
In
addition
to
homelessness
and
couch-surfing
after
a
marijuana
farm
fired
Anderson,
the
couple
became
parents
shortly
after
tying
the
knot.
Anderson
gave
his
wife
all
the
credit
as
the
real
risk-taker
in
their
relationship.
“She’s
the
one
who
came
from
Korea,
didn’t
speak
[any]
English,
she’s
[the
one
who
has]
the
balls,”
he
said,
according
to Daily
Mail
UK.
Despite
the
divorce,
Anderson’s
next
project
is
a
family
affair.
He
recently
announced
his
directorial
debut
with
the
upcoming
film, K-Pops! His
eldest
son,
Soul,
will
star
in
the
feature
film.
Anderson,
who
is
also
Black
and
Korean,
plans
to
explore
the
“funnier
aspects
of
the
experience”
of
growing
up
with
two
races
and
cultures.
“I
wanted
to
write
a
movie
that
would
explore
[the
dynamics
of
growing
up
biracial]
and
those
familial
relationships,”
he
said.
Earlier
this
week,
he
also
announced
the
season
2
premiere
of
.Paak
House
Radio
on
Apple
Music.
