Robin Thicke & Paula Patton

Yesterday afternoon, news hit that Paula Patton had officially separated from her longtime husband, Robin Thicke. Though the couple have been together for as long as we can remember, it didn’t come as a total shock after Robin had been involved in more than a couple of scandalous incidents over the last year. As more information comes out about the breakup, we’ve learned it was Paula that put her foot down, and Robin who really wanted to make it work.

On Friday, Robin cancelled his Atlanta concert (citing “throat problems”) and flew to Canada where Paula was filming a movie to plead with her to work it out after she told him over the phone that it was over. Upon arrival, the pair had a long, face-to-face talk, “both acknowledging they had not been getting along and frequently arguing.”

“Our sources say in the end Robin realized Paula was determined to end the marriage and reluctantly agreed, but was very upset,” TMZ reports. “We’re told she was also upset. The next day Robin cancelled his Orlando concert so he could be with their child.”

So sad but if it’s not working, no need to drag it out!
