LOS ANGELES (AP) – Nicole Young, the wife of 24-year-old Dr. Dre, filed for divorce.
Young filed documents seeking to end her marriage to Dr. Dre, the producer, rapper, and music mogul whose real name is Andre Young, on Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Nicole Young, 50, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation, and is seeking spousal support from Dr. Dre, 55, who has accumulated a great fortune in his time as a member of the NWA, solo rapper, producer, co-owner of Death Row Records and founder and CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics.
The couple has two adult children, a 23-year-old son, Truice, and a 19-year-old daughter, Truly.
Dr. Dre has four children from previous relationships.
The two were married in 1996. It was Dr. Dre’s first marriage. Young was previously married to NBA player Sedale Threatt.
An email was not immediately returned to Dr. Dre’s publicist seeking comment on the filing of the divorce.
