Paula Patton and Robin Thicke have announced that they are splitting up after months of speculation about the state of their marriage.

“We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time,” they told People magazine.

Robin Thicke experienced major success with number one hit “Blurred Lines” featuring Pharrell Williams and T.I. in 2013. The song topped the charts in no less than 14 countries and was nominated for two Grammys including ‘Record of the Year’.

A number of eye-raising photos of the singer have been taken over the last number of months, one where the reflection in a mirror apparently shows Thicke grabbing Lana Scolaro’s butt.

The unforgettable performance with Miley Cyrus is also believed to have contributed to the long list of things leading to the split as it is generally thought that no wife would be particularly happy with their 36 year old husband grinding on a 20 year old girl for the whole world to see.

According to TMZ Thicke is desperate to resolve things with his ex-wife to be, as he is not excited by the prospect of their son being raised in two separate homes, but he will have his work cut out if he wants to win her back.
