London, Nov 4 (PTI) ''Superstar'' hitmaker Jamelia is about to end her 16-month-old relationship with soccer player husband Darren Byfield by getting a divorce. The couple have not given any reason for the split but have confirmed in a statement that they are set to start legal proceedings to end their 16-month union, reported Contactmusic.

"It is with regret that Jamelia and Darren Byfield confirm they are splitting up and getting a divorce. No one else is involved.

Their priority is naturally their two children," said the statement. The 28-year-old raises Teja, her eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, and Tiani, four, with Byfield, but last week she moved out of the home she shared with him due to unknown reasons.

Their relationship so far has not been a rosy one. The couple separated in August 2007 amid rumours the sportsman had had an affair, but reconciled a few months later and married in a lavish ceremony in June 2008.

"Their relationship has been through lots of ups and downs. Jamelia took him back after he was accused of straying but the last year has been tough.

Jamelia decided to leave this week and there is no going back this time. They are both devastated, but have vowed to remain on civil terms for Tiani," said a close friend.
