Dr. Dre, Nicole Young divorcing after 24 years of marriage
Dr. Dre and Nicole Young are heading straight out of their marriage, Los Angeles Times reports.
Young filed divorce papers from the Compton-bred icon in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, The Times has confirmed. She cited irreconcilable differences for the split, which comes after 24 years of marriage.
Attorneys for the rapper-turned-mogul, whose real name is Andre Young, did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment. Nicole Young’s attorney also declined to comment on the split.
The estranged couple wed in May 1996 and share two children, son Truice, 23, and daughter Truly, 19.
Young, an attorney based in Newhall, is seeking spousal support from Dr. Dre. TMZ reported the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, which, if true, could make splitting the hip-hop mogul’s multimillion-dollar fortune quite the undertaking.
The entrepreneur, 55, is worth an estimated $800 million, according to Forbes, which has consistently included Dre on its list of the world’s wealthiest hip-hop artists.
