After almost three decades together, Akon and his longtime wife Tomeka Thiam are officially parting ways. Court documents reveal that Tomeka filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split.
The couple, who tied the knot nearly 30 years ago, share a long history both personally and professionally. While Akon has often been private about his family life, Tomeka has stood by him through his rise to global fame in the early 2000s.
So far, details about custody arrangements, division of assets, or financial settlements have not been made public. However, sources close to the family suggest that the separation was a long time coming and that both parties want to handle the situation respectfully.
This marks a major personal shift for the singer, who has balanced a successful career in music, business ventures, and philanthropy over the years. Fans have taken to social media to share mixed reactions, some sending support to both Akon and Tomeka as they navigate this new chapter.
