Akon’s Wife Tomeka Thiam Reportedly Ends 29 Years Marriage Over Infidelity

It’s the end of an era for international singer Akon and his wife Tomeka Thiam, as reports confirm that their nearly three-decade-long marriage has come to an unexpected crash.

Tomeka has reportedly filed for divorce after 29 years, citing irreconcilable differences — a move that many fans believe is tied to the star’s long history of infidelity and baby mama controversies.

According to TMZ, Tomeka filed the divorce papers just days before their 29th wedding anniversary.

The couple, who tied the knot in September 1996, share a 17-year-old child together. In her filing, Tomeka is requesting joint legal and physical custody of their child, as well as spousal support — while asking that Akon be denied the same from her.

Akon’s personal life has often been a subject of public scrutiny. Over the years, he has openly acknowledged having children with multiple women, fueling ongoing rumors of infidelity and baby mama drama throughout his marriage.

While Tomeka didn’t directly cite cheating in her legal filing, social media users have been quick to connect the dots, pointing to Akon’s lifestyle and relationships outside the marriage as possible reasons behind her decision to finally walk away.

The news has sparked a wave of reactions, some fans expressed shock, noting how rare it is to see celebrity marriages last nearly three decades. Others weren’t surprised, highlighting Akon’s long-standing reputation for having multiple baby mamas.

A few even joked that Tomeka “waited 29 years to finally say enough is enough.”

For now, one thing is clear: after 29 years of standing by his side, Tomeka Thiam is finally walking away, marking the end of one of the longest celebrity marriages in the music world.
