R&B star Jamelia is divorcing her soccer star hubby after just a year and a half of marriage.

The 28-year-old moved out of their home together last week and is reported to have instructed her lawyers to begin divorce proceedings against Darren Byfield.

The couple split up two years ago after 33-year-old Walsall player was reported to have been cheating on her, but they got back together and tied the knot.

They have a four-year-old daughter, Tiani, and Jamelia has an eight-year-old daughter, Teja, from a previous marriage.

A statement read: "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."

The sun quoted a friend of the couple as saying: "Their relationship has been through lots of ups and downs. Jamelia took him back after he was accused of straying, but the last year has been tough.

"Jamelia decided to leave last week and there is no going back this time.

"They are both devastated, but have vowed to remain on civil terms for Tiani."
