The siblings rose to fame as child stars on the hit series "Moesha" before taking over the industry with their soulful voices, but it's Ray J who took the entertainment world by storm after his infamous sex tape with Kim Kardashian, 40.

Love was the first to file divorce papers in May 2020 before dismissing the case after a brief reconciliation. Ray J went on to file his papers in August.

The "Sexy Can I" singer expressed feelings of regret shortly after filing divorce papers, adding that he was considering marriage counseling, which would please his sister, Brandy, 41.

Brandy and Ray J are extremely close, and she told Wendy Williams that she was rooting for him and Love to work things out, especially as they share two beautiful kids, Melody, 2 and Epik, 1.
