Mega producer Dr. Dre is back on the market. Dre’s wife, Nicole Young, has filed for divorce, TMZ reports.
Nicole filed divorce papers on Monday to end her marriage after 24 years. She is expected to walk away with a bundle as Dr. Dre is worth close to a billion dollars.
Nicole, who shares 2 adult children with Dre, cited irreconcilable differences in her divorce paperwork. The couple married on May 25, 1996 and there is no prenup.
This is the 2nd divorce for Nicole, who was previously married to former NBA player Sedale Threatt.
Dre has a total of 6 children, including a son named Marcel with singer Michel’le. He fathered his first child when he was 16 years old.
Dr. Dre’s net worth is estimated to be around $800 million after he sold his Beats by Dre audio products to Apple Inc. for $3 billion in cash in 2014.
Dr. Dre, real name Andre Young, was a majority shareholder in the company alongside Jimmy Iovine.
