Paula Maxine Patton, born on December 5, 1975, is a multifaceted American actress and producer who has made a profound and lasting impact in the entertainment industry.
Paula's life underwent a significant transformation in the year 1991, when she encountered renowned recording artist Robin Thicke at the renowned under-21 hip-hop club, Balistyx, situated on the iconic Sunset Strip in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. At the time, Thicke was just 14 years of age, while Paula was 15. According to Thicke himself, he serenaded her with a soulful rendition of Stevie Wonder's timeless classic, "Jungle Fever", as they danced the night away. Although the couple did not officially start dating until the year 1993, they eventually sealed their love with a romantic union on June 11, 2005. Years later, Paula gave birth to their precious son, Julian Fuego, on April 6, 2010.
Paula and Robin, a couple who had been married for nearly a decade, made the difficult decision to go their separate ways on February 24, 2014, marking the beginning of the end of their long-standing relationship.
As the days turned into weeks, the couple's situation became increasingly complicated, ultimately leading Paula to take the first step towards officially terminating their union by filing for divorce on October 8, 2014.
The divorce proceedings would take several more months to complete, with the couple working together to navigate the complex and often emotional process of dividing their assets and determining the future of their young son.
Finally, on March 20, 2015, the divorce was officially finalized, bringing a close to the couple's 21-year journey together as a family.
