LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds and his ex-wife Nicole Pantenburg have reached a definitive divorce agreement. Edmonds, 64, and Pantenburg, 50, mutually decided to part ways in 2021, after a little more than seven years of marriage. 

In a joint statement announcing their separation in July 2021, Edmonds and Patenburg made sure to emphasize their respect for one another and the fact that their daughter is their primary priority. They stated in a statement, "After much thought and with great sadness, we have decided to end our marriage. We continue to care and have respect for one another and share eternal love for our daughter and her well-being." They requested "personal privacy for ourselves and our daughter as we navigate these new steps as a family" in the statement they provided to The Blast. Babyface also listed his lavish five-bedroom mansion for sale right away after splitting up with Pantenburg.
