His wife, Kristin Thompson filed for divorce from him on 17 July 2020. Uncle Luke has now said that he was blindsided by it.

Uncle Luke and his blindsiding with his divorce

The rapper Uncle Luke and his wife Kristin Thompson were married for 12 years. And now on 12 July 2020, she put in her divorce papers in the local court. Luke said that he was left blindsided by the whole procedure.

He now has released a statement that read:

“It’s mind-boggling, hurtful, and a total surprise. I never intended to get married to get divorced,”

The rapper added:

“That’s not in my DNA nor my family’s history. I believe in the sacred vows, for better or worse, but I have to respect her decision.” 

Further, he clarified:

“Under no circumstances was there any infidelities nor verbal or physical abuse by me,” 

“I am now trying to make peace with her decision as best as I can. It will take time. The most important focus for me now is our son and being the best parent I can in this situation.”
