Was Miley Cyrus’ stunt at the VMA’s too much on their relationship? Singer Robin Thicke and his wife Paula Patton have announced that they have mutually decided to separate.
The couple released a joint statement announcing their separation on Monday. “We will always love each other and be best friends,” they wrote.
An informed source close to the couple revealed to USmagazine.com that the couple’s marriage has been on the rocks for quite some time. “It is not a shock to Robin or Paula, and it is something they have discussed for a long time.”
The source said the Blurred Lines singer’s raunchy performance with Miley Cyrus at the 2013 VMAs damaged their relationship, despite the fact that both put on a united front after the controversy.
“The Miley Cyrus fiasco was a big test of their relationship,” the insider reveals of the lascivious “We Can’t Stop” and “Blurred Lines” mashup. “He asked her to help him out as a friend and a wife, and defend him and the performance. He begged her to speak out for him and be there for him.”
“She agreed to be the good wife after he begged and pleaded,” the source explains. “Then he asked her to stick with him through awards season, and she agreed. She attended the Grammys with him as a favor.”
Thicke and Patton, 38, have a three year old son Julian.
