Amerie split from husband two years ago
Amerie split from her husband two years ago. The 1 Thing hitmaker revealed she and Lenny Nicholson - with whom she has seven-year-old son River - have quietly parted ways and are in the process of getting divorced. Speaking on Way Up with Angela Yee, Amerie, Muni Long and Jasmine Linford were discussing relationships and the host noted: 'Amerie been locked in for a long time." But the 45-year-old star said: 'I was, but not now." The trio seemed surprised and while talking over one another, Amerie mentioned the word "divorced". Jasmine said: 'I missed that memo." Referring to an appearance on the Joe Budden Podcast, Amerie said: 'Because everyone didn't know that. I only mentioned it with Joe. I told him about it. We talked about it. It came up inadvertently.' She then clarified she and Lenny - who she met in 2007 and married in 2011 - are currently "going through" their divorce but had separated in 2023. Angela noted: 'It takes a short time to get married and a long time to get divorced." The Paradise singer replied: 'That's what they say." Amerie was then asked if she is looking forward to dating again. She noted: 'Well, it's been a couple of years since we've been separated." Despite the relationship ending, Amerie doesn't regret her marriage. She said: 'All the relationships that we have I believe we have them because we're supposed to learn something, and so everything is a blessing. So I don't believe in, like, placeholders … everything is a lesson to help you grow.' And when she is looking for a new partner, Amerie wants to find someone who can "amplify" her. She said: 'One thing that's important, too, is to remember you want to find someone that you can amplify, that amplifies you. 'Because sometimes — and this is not necessarily my situation — but when I really started looking at it and I really started thinking about how people pair off and what that is ... You can be with someone where you stay the same. You can be with someone that can dim your light, and maybe you dim their light. You can be with someone who amplifies you and who you amplify.'

GloRilla Recruits NFL Star Xaiver Legette — and Keyshia Cole! — for Sexy New 'Typa' Music Video
GloRilla's new "Typa" music video stars Xavier Legette and Keyshia Cole "Typa" samples Cole's 2005 song "Love" She'll host her first annual Glo Bash in Memphis in JulyGloRilla scored a touchdown when it came to recruiting a love interest for her latest music video. The 'TGIF' rapper gets up close and personal with NFL star Xavier Legette in the new video for her single 'Typa.' Keyshia Cole — whose 2005 song 'Love' GloRilla sampled for the track — also makes a cameo in the video. The video features GloRilla, 25, and Legette, 24, enjoying some sexy moments together, as well as her rapping while standing on a city street. Cole, 43, appears in a cameo in which she gives GloRilla a pep talk about love and heartbreak. 'So Keyshia, have you ever been with somebody that make you wanna be a better version of yourself, but you scared to show them the worst parts of yourself?' Glorilla asks, to which Cole replies, 'If you don't show them who you really are, how will you know if they truly love you?' Ultimately, Legette's character proves he's the dependable sort when he bails GloRilla out of jail. Legette is a wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers. He went viral last year after he revealed that he enjoys eating raccoon, as he finds vegetables like bell peppers and onions 'too exotic' for his taste. 'It's got its own touch,' he said on the St. Brown Brothers podcast. 'You know everybody says it still tastes like chicken, but raccoon got its own touch though.' Meanwhile, Cole spoke glowingly of GloRilla (née Gloria Hallelujah Woods) in an interview on Angela Yee's Way Up radio show earlier this month. 'I like Glo. She remind me of me. She little, petite, crazy, talk s---, funny. She's so cute, and I like the way she be rapping,' she said. 'So, she's cool.' GloRilla is set to perform at the BET Awards on June 9, and will also take the stage at Hot 97's Summer Jam and the ESSENCE Festival of Culture. In July, she'll host her first annual Glo Bash in her native Memphis. 'I'm working on my next album so I'm trying to see the type of lane that I want to go in," Glo told PEOPLE in April. "Because the songs are good but I just be trying to listen from a fan point of view... [Those around me] like it but sometimes it be tricky because I think they like a lot of everything that I put out. So it be tricky sometimes.' Read the original article on People
