"We continue to love and support one another and still share a common goal to remain friends while being great parents to our children."
Jones confirmed the breakup, tweeting, "Single.... the end...."
The cause of the couple's split is unknown.

"She put put up with my Krazy," he wrote in an Instagram caption. "Now we have crazy kids. Thank you for giving me the two best gifts ever! A'mei & Megaa. They changed me forever! & Maybe I don't express my gratitude enough. I am rebuilding some things inside myself. With all that goes on in my world, I can depend on you. Because you're solid. Thank you @aprylsjones just in case you needed a reminder on how awesome of a mother you're. Looking at my time line I'am aware i could be dealing with someone way worst. Glad that's not our situation."
