AJ McLean & Wife “Officially” End Marriage

AJ McLean and wife Rochelle DeAnna McLean have revealed their marriage will be ending after 12 years together. 

The two shared in March that they had "temporarily" separated, with the hope of reconciling later on.

Nine months later, it's been confirmed the two will end their relationship.

"As you all know we have been separated for over a year now. While we have hoped for reconciliation we have decided to officially end our marriage. It is with deep love and respect that we have made this decision."

The two share daughters Elliott and Lyric and have plans to remain friends. 

"Our focus now is moving forward in the healthiest way possible with friendship and co-parenting our girls at the forefront of this next chapter. We appreciate your kindness, respect, and privacy at this time."

The two were married in December 2011, having met three years earlier. 

They released a statement, detailing their separation. 

"Marriage is hard, but worth it. We have mutually decided to separate temporarily to work on ourselves, and on our marriage with the hope of building a stronger future. The plan is to come back together and continue to nurture our love for one another and our family. We ask for respect and privacy at this time. Separation is hard enough without the commentary, please be kind and remember there are children involved."
