Following their three years of marriage, American record producer, Stevie J has filed for divorce from his wife Faith Evans.
According to TMZ the 50-year-old record producer filed for divorce at the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, Nov. 8. The couple tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2018, surprising their friends and family with the intimate ceremony that was initiated in their hotel room.
The pair do not share any children together and it is currently unclear if a prenup was arranged before their wedding.
The split may not surprise some, as Stevie and Faith have had a tumultuous relationship in the past. Over a year ago, Faith was arrested on domestic violence charges after she allegedly attacked her husband.
Law enforcement told TMZ in May 2020 that Faith was arrested around 1am after cops were called to their home in LA. Faith and Stevie allegedly got into a heated argument, which turned violent.
It was also reported that cops noticed visible marks and scratches on Stevie’s face upon their arrival at the home. 48-year-old Faith’s arrest came after she and Stevie seemingly attempted to downplay rumors their marriage was in trouble.
The split marks the first divorce for Stevie J, as Faith was previously married to Todd Russaw from 1998-2011. Faith also married The Notorious B.I.G. in 1994 and remained with him until his death in 1997.
