Brandy and Hubby Split

Maybe they should have kept the whole thing a secret.

Just two years after their hush-hush wedding, Brandy and hubby Robert Smith are calling it quits.

"They are not together. They will remain friends and raise their daughter jointly," a spokesperson for the singer said Friday.

No reason for the breakup was given.

The sneaky couple swapped vows the summer of 2001, but they didn't announce their domestic arrangement until February 2002, while the R&B singer coincidentally happened to be promoting her album Full Moon.

A month later, the erstwhile Moesha announced she was pregnant. Then came the MTV series that chronicled the star through the last stages of her pregnancy, climaxing with the birth of her baby daughter, Sy'rai, born June 16, 2002. MTV's Diary Presents Brandy: Special Delivery began airing two days after the birth.

Since then, the singer has been busy changing diapers and working on a new album with Smith, a music producer who has worked with Michael Jackson and the Spice Girls.

It's about time Brandy--real name Brandy Rayana Norwood--thought of getting back to work. Rival Monica, who tussled with her over the Grammy-winning, chart-topping hit "The Boy Is Mine," scored a number-one hit last week with her third album, After the Storm.

Ladies, care for a rematch?
