Tomeka Thiam, the wife of Senegalese‑American singer Akon, has filed for divorce just days before their 29th wedding anniversary. Court documents filed in Fulton County, Georgia, on September 11, 2025, state that she is seeking to end the marriage on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.
In the filing, Tomeka requests joint legal custody of their 17‑year‑old daughter, with visitation rights for Akon. She also seeks spousal support from the singer and asks the court to deny any similar request from him.
The couple married in September 1996, and their impending divorce will conclude a nearly three‑decade partnership. As the legal process begins, the court will determine the division of assets, spousal support, and the final custody arrangement for their daughter.
The filing has attracted attention from fans and media outlets due to Akon’s high profile in the entertainment industry. As the case proceeds, additional details about the settlement and its impact on the couple’s personal and professional lives are expected to emerge. For now, the focus remains on the legal proceedings and the arrangements being made for their daughter.
