*Niecy Nash and her husband, Jay Tucker, have announced that they are calling it quits after eights years of marriage.
“We believe in the beauty of truth. Always have,” the estranged couple said in a joint statement shared on the “Claws” star’s Instagram account on Wednesday (Oct. 30). “Our truth is that in this season of our lives, we are better friends than partners in marriage.”
The statement continued: “Our union was such a gorgeous ride. And as we go our separate ways now, we feel fortunate for the love we share – present tense. Thank you all out there for your support of us as a couple over the last eight years. We are grateful.”
Nash, 49, has three children from her previous 15-year marriage to Don Nash, whom she divorced in 2007, per Us Weekly.

“Niecy got a brand new body right before she went to film Claws down in New Orleans and that’s when their troubles began,” according to the source.
“Jay was really uncomfortable with her graphic sex scenes on the show and that made their problems worse.”
The source added, “They were living in two different cities and Jay expressed he didn’t like his wife being in New Orleans while he was in LA.”
Shortly after DailyMail.com published this story, Nash confirmed the divorce in an Instagram post, writing: “We are better friends than partners in marriage.”
