AJ McLean (45) draws a line in the sand. The singer married his partner Rochelle Deanna (42) in 2011. But since the beginning of last year, the marriage has been on the rocks. After initially wanting to take a break from their relationship, it was reported in October that the Backstreet Boys star and his wife were undergoing couples therapy. But let it go now AJ and Rochelle still divorced.
Does on Instagram AJ the final end of the marriage itself is official. “It is with deep love and respect that we made this decision. Our focus now is on moving forward in a healthy way, with the friendship and co-parenting of our girls at the forefront of this next chapter,” the American’s statement reads. At least it doesn’t sound like there’s bad blood between the two. However, they are said to have been living apart for a year.
After the separation only became known in March, they tried AJ and Rochelle to save their relationship. “We strive to be the best versions of ourselves that we can and to be the best husband and wife that we can be for each other,” the 45-year-old told TMZ. The solution should come from joint therapy.
