Niecy Nash's Official Statement on Their Separation

Knowing that her fans have been invested in her marriage in all of its eight years all thanks to social media, Niecy Nash provided them an explanation that expressed her gratefulness for all the support they've given them as a couple.

"We believe in the beauty of truth. Always have. Our truth is that in this season in our lives, we are better friends than partners in marriage. Our union was a gorgeous ride. And as we go our separate ways now, we feel fortunate for the love we share - present tense."

Nash and Tucker met at a labor day party in 2009, and it was love-at-first-sight for both of them. In just two years, they got married at the Church Estate Vineyards in Malibu in front of 200 guests.

While things went south pretty quickly, it hasn't always been this way as just last year, the happy couple celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary by slow dancing with one another.

Choosing to Remain as Friends

Unfortunately, although that love still remains, the couple would rather choose to stay friends than a married couple now that they've finalized their decision to get a divorce.

Jay and Niecy do not share any children together, but the actress has three kids, Dominic, Donielle, and Dia, from her first husband Don Nash.
