Jay and estranged wife split
In May, Jay’s estranged wife Lisa announced that she and Jay had split. The pair exchanged vows in Barbados in 2022.
“I don’t know how to say this because it’s still really raw. I probably should be really angry but I’m just incredibly sad about the whole thing right now,” she reportedly said online.
Lisa continued: “I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much. I will admit I’m crying as I type this as I can’t believe this is even real. I hope you don’t mind if I just have a few days trying to figure out my life as I’m currently in a spare room with a few essentials.
She concluded: “I don’t know what else to say. All my love, A very broken Lisa-Marie.”
