My Cherie no more
Stevie Wonder has just filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage.
The Superstition legend put an end to his romance with fashion designer Kai Morris, citing irreconcilable differences at the reason for their demise.
TMZ have obtained the papers that see the 22-times Grammy-winner using his legal name Stevland Morris.
Bad body language: Despite holding hands, Stevie Wonder turns his back on estranged wife Kai Morris - he is now filing for divorce after 11 years of marriage
The news is perhaps unlikely to come as a surprise to Kai, who has been separated from Stevie since October 2009.
Wonder seeks joint custody of sons Kailand, 10, and seven-year-old Mandla, with the 62-year-old agreeing to pay spousal and child support.
Not exactly a surprise! The couple have been separated since October 2009
Although Stevie earned his fortune prior to their marriage in 2001, a number of (as yet undetermined) assets are set to be divided.
According to The Huffington Post, the father-of-seven - who was blinded shortly after birth - is being represented by a divorce lawyer rather popular with celebrities.
Laura Wasser has previously worked with Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, Kiefer Sutherland and Kim Kardashian for their divorce and custody battles.
But Stevie seems content flying solo, putting on an incredible show at the Billboard Awards ceremony in May, alongside Alicia Keys.
He was also presented with the prestigious Billboard's Icon Award, taking the reigns from Neil Diamond, who was given the prize at the 2011 ceremony.
The pair performed a set of his hits, including Higher Ground and Overjoyed, before performing a stripped-back version of her song with Jay-Z, Empire State of Mind.
The talented Michigan native was previously married to Motown singer Syreeta Wright, tying the knot in 1970 and divorcing just two years later.
