Tearin' up my heart! Joey Fatone is in the process of divorcing his wife of about 15 years, Kelly Baldwin.

Records show that the 'NSYNC star, who tied the knot with the screenwriter in 2004, filed for divorce on May 13 in Florida. "Although Joey and Kelly are finalizing their divorce, they fully support each other and remain committed to raising their 2 daughters," a rep for Fatone told E! News.

The 42-year-old singer, who shares two kids with Baldwin, also recently confirmed the couple's separation. "I was, at one point, married, and now I am separated, going through a divorce," Fatone told Us Weekly at the Critics' Choice Real TV Awards on June 2.

Fatone actually attended the award show with his girlfriend, Izabel Araujo, who he has been dating for over four years now. Back in Oct. 2018, Araujo celebrated their fourth anniversary with a message on Instagram.
