Robin Thicke and Paula Patton are calling it quits after eight years of marriage, having been together for over 20 years.

The couple announced their decision on Monday, telling People: "We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."

Following Thicke's controversial appearance on the MTV VMAs stage last summer with Miley Cyrus, there was much focus on the stability of his marriage to the Baggage Claim actress.

Despite the rumors and throngs of women throwing themselves at Thicke, the "Blurred Lines" singer told Variance in October that “the biggest rush of all” was found only with Patton. He added: "There’s nothing better than somebody that you’ve shared your whole life with and that you’re still madly in love with, and you want to experience everything in the future together. As long as you have that desire and that passion, I honestly believe you can take on the world. I really do.”
