And it has nothing to do with the Miley twerking incident, or the uncensored Blurred Lines video, or Paula's side vagina... Here is why they split after nine years of marriage, according to their statement via People.com:
"We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."
OK, so it's all of the above then and the fact that they've been together since they were teenagers. It also may have something to do with the 'other women' rumours doing the rounds.
Robin 'yes, I do look much better with sunglasses on' Thicke was seen dancing closely with a mystery woman after a performance at Club 79 in Paris in January. In September of last year, another woman, Lana Scolaro, claimed Robin had kissed her at a party in New York.
She said: "I went to the bathroom, and when I came out he was standing there ... He turned off the lights so no one could see us, and he started making out with me. He was grabbing me. He was like, 'I want to get you into bed'... His hands were everywhere."
And if that weren't enough, The Give it 2 U singer was also photographed with his hand on Lana's bottom, thanks to a reflection in a mirror.
According to Getty, this is Lana attending an exhibition curated by Pharrell with one Emory Stewart in New York on February 8th..
Paula previously said she and Robin argued, but remained committed to each other, saying: "Listen, we have fun, but like every couple, we have our ups and downs. Nothing is perfect, but we're very happy. He's my best friend."
36-year-old Robin and 38-year-old Paula first met in their teens and married in 2005. They have one son together, Julian Fuego Thicke, aged three.
