Despite writing an open and emotionally vulnerable letter, the Grammy winner confirmed he will not speak further regarding the matter.

\"Please be kind as we take on this journey, and we thank you for your love and support always,\" he requested, adding that he and his wife co-wrote the statement.

While it is unknown what contributed to the divorce, the language \"consciously uncouple\" -- meaning the separation was amicable as it would lead to better lives for both parties -- was made famous in 2014 when actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin jointly announced their separation.

Rucker and Leonard met in 1998 and wed December 9, 2000. They share two children together, 19-year-old Daniella Rose and 15-year-old Jack. Rucker has a third child from a previous relationship, 25-year-old Cary Phillips.
