After almost 19 years together, Randy Jackson and his wife, Erika, are going their separate ways, Yahoo reports. Erika filed for divorce on Friday citing irreconcilable differences. They have two children together — daughter Zoe, 19, and son Jordan, 17. (The former American Idol judge also has another daughter from his first marriage).
In the documents, Erika is seeking spousal support and payment for legal fees. She also is asking for joint legal custody and primary physical custody with “reasonable visitation” for Randy. The date of separation is listed as September 11, 2014.
The soon-to-be former Mrs. Jackson has also requested to go back to her maiden name, Erika Riker.
The news comes weeks after it was revealed the Grammy winning producer sold his home in Tarzana, California, for $1.9 million.
So far, Randy has yet to comment.
