In news that comes as a complete shocker, rapper Jeezy has filed for divorce from wife, Jeannie Mai Jenkins after just 2 years of marriage.

The news broke on Friday via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution who were the first to break the story, but the news quickly spread like wildfire including PEOPLE who also confirmed the split.

The rapper, 45, filed for divorce from The Real host, 44, on Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE. The couple were married for two-and-a-half years and had a prenuptial agreement in place.

Jeezy’s filing says the former couple are “currently living in a bona fide state of separation,” and that their marriage is “irretrievably broken” with “no hope for reconciliation.”

The document also says that the rapper wants to share joint legal custody of the pair’s daughter.

Jenkins and Jeezy (né Jay Jenkins) tied the knot in March 2021 at their home in Atlanta, and welcomed daughter Monaco in January 2022.

The pair celebrated their two-year anniversary in March with a surprise trip to Vietnam that Jenkins organized for her husband as a “long-awaited adventure.”

“When Jeezy and I met, we bonded over the similarities and differences of our cultures,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “Now that we have a daughter, blending our worlds, it gives even more meaning to explore Vietnam together as a multicultural family.”

Jeezy had initially planned to pop the question in Hoi An, Vietnam in April 2020, but was forced to change his plans after COVID canceled the trip.

“When Jeezy proposed to me, he decorated his condo to look like Hoi An. It brought the memories of our engagement full circle when we were finally in Hoi An for the first time,” Jenkins said of their anniversary vacation.

The couple first met on the set of Jenkins’ daytime talk show The Real, and quietly started dating in November 2018. They eventually took their romance public in August 2019.

“We both went through enough in our life to connect on the understanding that love should feel safe, honest, and pure,” Jenkins told PEOPLE that November. “Immediately, that was a magnetic attraction. We are very attracted to each other’s passions to serve. So because we have a mutual joy of having purpose, we’re going to find a way to do that together.”

The news comes just days after Jeannie Mai took to social media to celebrate and promote the release of Jeezy’s new book, seemingly indicating that all was well.
