Full story below…

A message shared by the singer/actor moments ago trumpeted the development:

“We have decided to make a statement of a painful and significant development in our lives. After much thought, consideration, and prayer, We unfortunately have made the difficult decision to officially separate & divorce.”

The statement, which is jointly signed by the couple, went on to read:

“Our intention is to remain the best of friends & strong coparents. We feel incredibly blessed to have found each other and deeply grateful for the 4 years we have been married to each other. Our journey together has been a ride of both ups & downs, but it’s a journey that neither of us would have chosen to take with anyone else. We truly have so much love & respect for each other. We both have grown tremendously within this relationship; we have shared so many beautiful memories and moments, and we also look forward to see the amazing futures we have ahead of us individually. As if 2020 hasn’t already been extremely grueling and challenging to us all we wanted to mutually speak on this now to keep this energy in 2020 and not take this energy into 2021. We would really appreciate your most sincere prayers and to respect our privacy at this time as we deal with the reality of where we are.
Thank you,

Sincerely & Respectfully,

Samantha & Tyrese Gibson.

The Gibsons tied the knot on Valentine’s Day 2017 and went on to have a daughter, Soraya Lee Gibson, who was born the year after.

Samantha was silent about the split on her page, but instead seized the moment to wish Tyrese (who turned 42 today) a Happy Birthday:
