Actor Martin Lawrence and his wife Shamicka Gibbs have officially confirmed they have decided to separate after almost seventeen years together. The couple has two beautiful daughters, 10 year-old Amara and 8 year-old Iyana.

Martin’s rep said in a statement: “Martin and Shamicka Lawrence have decided to divorce. 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 47 year-old and Shamicka tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their Beverly Hills home back in 2010 after dating for almost 15 years. Ironic. Well, if it ain’t broke, don’t even try to fix it.
