https://www.tmz.com/2020/06/29/dr-dre-wife-nicole-young-files-for-divorce/After nearly a quarter of a century together, Dr. Dre and his wife Nicole Young are close to calling quits, TMZ reports. According to the tabloid publication, Nicole Young has filed paperwork for their divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason why she's trying to get legally separated from the hip-hop producer.

Young and Dre got married on May 25th, 1996 and have two kids together -- Truice and Truly. Both kids are adults now so child support won't actually be an issue in their divorce. What could turn into a bigger issue in court is spousal support. Per Forbes, Dr. Dre's net worth hovers around the $800M mark. That being said, sources close to the situation said they never signed a prenuptial agreement. There's a possibility we'll see this pan out in the courtroom for a while.
Young does work as a lawyer and is reportedly being represented by a high-powered celebrity attorney, Samantha Spector. At this point, Dr. Dre hasn't issued any public response either, though it's not really in his nature to be putting his personal life out for the world to see.
In other news, Dr. Dre has been locked in the studio with Kanye West in recent times presumably putting the final touches on God's Country. The first single off of the project is due out today.

As if Dr. Dre's week wasn't rough enough ... he's agreed to pay his estranged wife $2 million in temporary spousal support -- but he's not coughing up the $5 mil she wants for her divorce attorneys.
The music mogul and Nicole Young struck the deal that calls for Dre to write a one-time check for the $2 mil. That's all he'll pay ... at least until the next divorce hearing in April. Now it will be up to Nicole to decide how much of that amount she forks over to her lawyers.
As we reported, Nicole was demanding $2 mil per month, PLUS another $5 million in attorney's fees.
Our sources say Dre will continue to cover Nicole's living expenses at her Malibu pad, as well as her mother's Pacific Palisades home for the next several months. However, Dre will NOT cover Nicole's security costs ... she'll have to pay that from the $2 mil.
Dre and Young's lawyers struck the deal in court, but we're told Dre had to sign the agreement from his bed at Cedars Sinai Hospital.
Remember ... he's been dishing out $293,306 a month in temporary support. Now, he can focus on his recovery.
TMZ broke the story ... Dre suffered a brain aneurysm earlier this week and he was rushed by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. He was taken directly to ICU. Dre later thanked his fans for their support and said he's doing great and getting excellent care.
