The separation between Anderson .Paak and his estranged wife, Jae Lin, are moving further into the legal system. The couple is working through custody and financial matters. Lin has asked the court for primary physical custody of their two children. Meanwhile, she is proposing that the singer receive visitation and secondary parenting time. She has also requested spousal support as the divorce process unfolds.
According to documents first reported by TMZ, Lin cited “irreconcilable differences” in her filing and left the date of separation listed as “TBD.” .Paak submitted a similar filing in 2024, using the same language. The couple married in 2010 and have two children together, now 9 and 13. Their case is still in progress. In time, a judge is expected to determine how custody and support will ultimately be arranged.
The legal developments come amid reports that .Paak has recently spent time with television personality Jeannie Mai. The two were seen together last month at Andy’s in Los Angeles. There, footage showed them seated closely in a booth, with .Paak resting an arm around her. Mai finalized her own divorce from rapper Jeezy in 2024 after three years of marriage. The former couple share a daughter, Monaco, who is four.
Jeannie Mai Prioritizes Her Daughter’s Peace During Divorce
Mai has spoken openly about trying to protect her child from the emotional fallout that can accompany a separation. During a January appearance on the podcast Question Everything, she described her approach to parenting through a difficult period. “That’s not something I want her to ever have to think about,” she said. “My job is to define peace for her. So, she’s going to get that.”
Reflecting on the experience of divorce more broadly, Mai described it in stark terms. “There’s no way to understand that feeling of space shared with somebody and all of a sudden it closing in, to where you even wonder if you can trust yourself in your thoughts because one day you had a plan and you had these thoughts and then suddenly it becomes something else,” she said.
For now, the divorce between .Paak and Lin remain unresolved. Custody and financial support are likely to be settled through the courts in the months ahead.
