Mary J. Blige’s contentious divorce from Martin ‘Kendu’ Isaacs has been finalized.
A Los Angeles judge signed off on the split, TMZ reported, putting an end to the marriage that began in 2003, and crumbled under allegations of infidelity against Isaacs.
The duo in March came to an agreement on a settlement, but were still at odds over how to split their assets until now; terms of the divorce were confidential, according to the outlet.

It is unclear whether or not Martin received his request of $130,000 a month in spousal support.
Previously, the Runaway Love singer claimed she was ‘stronger’ than ever since splitting from Martin, and said she is embracing the ‘positive’ aspects of her situation.
She told E! News at the 2018 SAG Awards, ‘I learned that I’m really stronger than I even knew because there is a lot of hell taking place, too, right now. But I am living. I am not a petty person. I let the positive overtake me so that all of the positive doors can open and the positive can come in. I’m stronger and wiser.’
However, she then later slammed Martin as a ‘con artist’ in a chat with Variety, and claimed he only pretended to love her throughout their marriage.
‘I’m doing OK. I’m living,’ she said. ‘I’m not happy about a lot of things. I thought someone loved me, right? Turns out, he was a con artist and he didn’t, and now he’s coming after me for all my money. When you come out of something like that, you realize you were never the one.
‘There was someone else that was his queen. I got played. I got suckered. I have to keep smiling and keep my spirits up because this is designed to kill me.’
