How Many Times Have Ray J & Princess Love Announced They Were Divorcing?
From their initial whirlwind romance to the highs of marriage and family, Ray J and Princess Love’s journey has been anything but conventional. For a few years now, the pair’s relationship has been a tumultuous rollercoaster. Their love story, played out in the public eye, has been an enthralling narrative of passion and drama. However, over the course of their marriage, the couple has announced their plan to divorce a surprising number of times. Following a new divorce announcement, the spotlight once again shines brightly on their union. While some onlookers wonder if they will actually go through with it this time, others believe it’s all just a PR stunt. It remains to be seen what direction things will go in this time. In the meantime, here’s a look at all the times Ray J and Princess Love have filed for divorce.
May 2020
Ray J and Princess Love married in August 2016 and welcomed their first child, Melody Love, in May 2018. Subsequently, their second child, Epik Ray, followed in January 2020. Unfortunately, Epik Ray arrived when things were shaky between his parents. Only four months after his birth, Princess Love filed for divorce from Ray J. Admittedly, in November 2019, the Love & Hip Hop star claimed that she would be filing for divorce. This was after Ray J allegedly left her and their daughter stranded in Las Vegas. However, most fans didn’t think she would actually go through with it, and the news took them by surprise in May 2020. Fans of the couple didn’t have to worry, however, as Princess Love later filed a request for dismissal on July 6, 2020.
September 2020
After Princess Love requested dismissal, the couple got back on track, or so we thought. While fans believed they had reconciled, Ray J completely shocked everyone when he filed for divorce in September 2020. This was just two months after Love’s request for dismissal, and it’s the last thing anyone expected. According to The Blast’s report, the singer asked for joint custody of his two children with Love, and things were looking quite real. However, he later called off the divorce in March 2021. Following this news, fans heaved another sigh of relief because the couple’s marriage had survived once again. However, unknown to the masses, there was more to come.
October 2021
In October 2021, another divorce announcement from Ray J dropped, and TMZ first reported it. They noted that, according to the legal documents, Ray J cited irreconcilable differences as the reason he filed for divorce. At this point, even onlookers were exhausted by the back-and-forth divorce drama between the two. Many expressed that they wished the couple would make up their minds and stick to a decision. However, that decision was not the fans’ call to make, and they waited to see how things would play out. Subsequently, the “Sexy Can I” singer reconciled with Princess Love and filed a request for dismissal. The dismissal was granted to him on March 1, 2023.
February 2024
On February 26, 2024, Princess Love shared a statement on her Instagram account, announcing her divorce, again, from Ray J. “It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our decision to divorce. After much reflection, discussion, and counseling, we have come to the difficult realization that our paths have diverged, and it is in the best interest of both of us to part ways,” Love wrote. This is the fourth time either of the two would be announcing a divorce, and it seems like it might be real this time. However, with Princess Love and Ray J, one can never really be sure.
