//Pregnant Kelis Files For Divorce From Nas//

Rumors have swirled for nearly a year over the current status of the marriage between one of hip hop’s royal couples, Nas and Kelis.

Reports began surfacing that the couple had broken up after a blind item about an R&B singer being caught in a sex tape with someone other than her rapper husband appeared on several gossip blogs. The gossip seemed to quiet down a bit when Nas announced his wife was pregnant with their first child together in February, but the lack of public appearances together did nothing to keep the rumors at bay.

Vibe magazine confirmed today that Nas and Kelis are no more. According to the divorce papers obtained by the publication, Nas and Kelis have been officially separated since April 20 with Kelis filing for divorce today (April 30).

“I can confirm that she has filed for divorce,” a spokesperson told Vibe. “We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time.”

The pair had been married for over five years; they tied the knot in July of 2003 in an intimate ceremony in Atlanta.

Their unborn child, a boy, is due July 21.
