Former Idol judge’s wife wants out

People Post

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — The wife of former American Idol judge Randy Jackson has filed for divorce after nearly 19 years of marriage.

Erika Jackson filed for divorce yesterday in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences.

The pair was married in December 1995, and she listed their separation date as September 11. They have two children together, and Erika Jackson is seeking physical custody and spousal support. Their youngest child is age 17.

Erika Jackson is asking to restore her name to Erika Riker.

The divorce was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.
