Romance Is Dead: Robin Thicke And Paula Patton Divorce

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton
Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

Childhood sweethearts Robin Thicke and Paula Patton are divorcing.


Thicke, 36, and Patton, 38, began dating when he was 14 and she was 16. They were married in 2005, and have a four-year-old son, Julian Fuego.

"We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time," the couple confirmed in a statement.

The news comes as a shock... to anyone who hasn't been near a computer, TV or mobile device in the 11 months since the release of Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' video, which featured the Canadian crooner with a slew of nude models.

In August, Miley Cyrus infamously twerked on his crotch; shortly after that, he was photographed copping a feel of socialite Lana Scolaro, who has since told TMZ that she'd "love to grab a drink with him if he asked". This was followed by reports in January of Thicke partying and flirting hard at Parisian nightclub Club 79.

So, sure, when you put it THAT way, this may be the least surprising divorce of all time.

Still, let's all pour one out for the formerly happy couple.
