Martin Lawence to divorce

Martin Lawrence and his wife, Shamicka, are splitting after a 17-year relationship. “Martin and Shamicka Lawrence have decided to divorce,” the actor’s rep told People. “The couple has made the joint decision to part ways. Out of love and respect for one another, we will continue to remain friends and raise our two beautiful daughters together.”

The couple married in 2010. Lawrence has a third daughter from his previous first marriage.
