Babyface is a grammy-award winning singer, and Nicole starred in the 1990s sitcom, 'Moesha' where she played Teresa. Nicole also happens to be the best friend and former backup dancer to Janet Jackson. 

The Edmonds' wedding was an exquisite ceremony that included famous guests like Oprah Winfrey and Carole B. Sager.

Babyface previously spoke highly of Nicole during an interview with NPR, when he talked about the love in his life. "The big love of my life. That's a hard question because there's a lot of loves in my life. There's my wife, Nikki," he said.

The singer added, "There's my daughter and my boys. A couple of years ago I lost my mom, and when someone that important leaves this world, it leaves you with this feeling of wanting to grab every moment with those that are around you, and appreciate it."

The couple has yet to file legal documents ending their marriage, but we are told they plan on making it official soon.
