Relationship expert Derrick Jackson has split from his wife

Relationship expert, Derrick Jackson has announced his divorce from his wife after he publicly apologized for cheating on her a year ago.

He took to his official Instagram page to announce that after months of counselling and prayer, he and his wife, Da’Naia Jackson have decided to separate and file for divorce.

He wrote: “Over the past several months, my family and I have gone through many changes. Some of you have speculated while others of you have reached out to offer support as we privately established this new normal for ourselves and our beautiful children.

Earlier this year after much prayer, counseling, and deep consideration, we decided to go our separate ways and filed for divorce. Making the decision to file was one of the hardest decisions of my life, but I’ve found peace knowing that our mission of raising healthy children, starting with healthy and whole parents is still being accomplished.

From falling in love as just teenagers, to becoming spouses and now co-parents, I’m grateful for the years we’ve spent together and wouldn’t trade them for anything. I was blessed to have such an amazing person in my life and will forever be thankful for all she’s meant to our family.

We ask that if you pray, to please pray for us as we navigate this grieving process. If not, please respect our privacy.”
