The high school sweethearts have confirmed their split and a report suggests that it might be over Thicke's ass-grabing tendencies.

The former couple exclusively told People, "We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."

The singer and the actress have not disclosed a reason for their break-up but TMZ says that Patton might just had enough of her singer husband's ass-grabbing and alleged "flirting with other women."

According to TMZ, the singer was spotted grabbing a female fan's ass after his famous and controversial VMA performance last year with the equally feisty Miley Cyrus. Could the singer be taking on after his father?

In an earlier interview with Elle Magazine, the 'Blurred Lines' singer admitted that he was living like a college kid at 14 - with chicks on top of video games, swimming and basketball on weekends.

With his father's reputation as a ladies' man, he also said that he first saw a naked woman during his school days who was apparently using his shower. "I was like, Who is this girl in my shower?" he told Elle Magazine.

Surprisingly, not even the girl to whom he lost his virginity to at the age of 13 could stop him from being with Patton a year later. "...the real reason is because of the person that I met. We're pretty sure we've loved each other for a few lives," he said in the Elle Magazine interview.

He also ironically shared thoughts on divorce when asked about his early relationship with Paula during the interview for Elle Magazine, saying "I'm sure when your parents get divorced when you're seven, maybe as a kid I thought, I'm going to take care of my wife. I'll be a great husband."

Well it looks like the same scenario is bound to happen with their son, Julian Fuego, their only child after 9 years of marriage.
