Despite their break up, Princess wanted to “assure” everyone that their decision was “made thoughtfully and with mutual respect and consideration for each other’s well-being.” She also stated that they were both still “committed” to being good co-parents to their kids and maintaining a “positive and supportive family dynamic.”

Princess’s announcement on Instagram marks the end of a marriage that was full of ups and downs. Much of the drama of their relationship has been displayed on Love & Hip Hop Hollywood.
The Couple Had a Rocky Relationship
After dating for four years, the singers got married in Los Angeles in August 2016. They share a daughter, Melody, and a son, Epik.
The first signs of trouble in their marriage started in 2019, with Princess claiming she wanted to leave Ray J. This came after Princess accused her husband of leaving her and Melody stranded in Las Vegas over the weekend. Entertainment Tonight first reported that Princess had made the claim on her Instagram Stories after Ray J shared a picture of the couple and their daughter online.
In the post, Ray J thanked Princess and Melody for attending the BET Soul Train Awards in Vegas with him. The post was later deleted. Before it was, Princess commented, writing “Left me and Melody stranded in Vegas and blocked me from calling. Now you wanna post family photos.”
Princess was also 8 months pregnant at the time with Epik, who was born in December that year. Although they appeared to reconcile a short time later, Princess then filed for divorce in May 2020. However, she asked for the filing to be dismissed two months later.
Later that very same year, Ray J filed for divorce himself. People magazine reported that he too changed his mind shortly after. Their romantic rollercoaster wasn’t over though, with Ray J requesting a divorce again in 2021.
Two years later, he was officially granted a dismissal, only for the couple to finally give up on their marriage on the fourth attempt this year. In the caption of her post, Princess wrote that she and Ray J were “trusting GOD with the next chapter of our lives.”
