Jamelia to divorce soccer husband - Report

Jamelia has announced that she's divorcing Walsall footballer Darren Byfield 18 months after their wedding.

According to The Mirror, the Superstar singer, 28, reportedly moved out of the marital home last week and has now called in divorce lawyers.

The pair split up briefly during their engagement after Byfield, 33, was accused of cheating on Jamelia.

However, last night, the split appears to be permanent after the pair released a statement saying: "It is with regret that Jamelia and Darren Byfield today confirm they are splitting up and getting a divorce.

"No one else is involved. Their priority is naturally their two children."

They have a daughter Tiani, four, and Jamelia's daughter from a previous relationship Teja, eight.

Both girls were at the pair's wedding in Sussex last year.
