Princess Love has broken her silence following the arrest of her estranged husband Ray J.
The R&B singer and Love were married for a decade and broke up for a fourth and final time in February 2024. The pair, who share two kids together, are still in the process of divorcing one another.
Announcing that they were splitting for good, Love penned in a statement at the time: "It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our decision to divorce. After much reflection, discussion, and counseling, we have come to the difficult realization that our paths have diverged, and it is in the best interest of both of us to part ways."
She continued: "We want to reassure you that this decision was made thoughtfully and with mutual respect and consideration for each other’s well-being. While our relationship as spouses may be coming to an end, we remain committed to co-parenting our children and maintaining a positive and supportive family dynamic."

While Love pledged to keep a 'supportive family dynamic', things appear to have turned sour between the former couple, as seen in an explosive livestream on Thanksgiving.
In the footage obtained by TMZ, Ray J can allegedly be heard saying it's 'the worst Thanksgiving in the f**king world'.
"Ain't nobody taking my kids away from me on Thanksgiving," he reportedly went on to rant.
Ray J then allegedly said that someone was making 'threats' to him, and he is then seen showing off the ammunition he had in his gun.
The video fast forwards to the moment Love reportedly walks into the room and says she's come to collect the children. A heated exchange then ensues between the couple, and Ray J seemingly accuses his estranged wife of being drunk.
Love can be heard assuring him that she wasn't driving, and then she claimed he 'just pulled a gun at us'.
Later that evening, Ray J was arrested, and he's reportedly been booked on a charge of making a criminal threat.
According to TMZ, his bail has been set at $50,000.
Love has now addressed the incident in a video shared on Instagram, seemingly confirming that it was indeed her and Ray J on camera.
"I’m not going to let him deflect and make it about me, or make it seem like I was drunk. That was not the case," she insisted.
She went on to allege that Ray J pulled a gun on her and her cousin's husband when they tried to take the kids and leave the house.
"I agreed to come over there and cook for Thanksgiving because I wanted you to be around your kids with me present because the last time they were left with you they found you naked in bed with a woman," Love continued.
She continued to urge her estranged husband to 'take accountability' and 'do better', even suggesting that he booked himself into rehab.
UNILAD have approached representatives of Ray J for comment.
