David Otunga and Jennifer Hudson split after 10 years together

People.com is reporting that WWE’s David Otunga and his superstar girlfriend Jennifer Hudson have broken up after 10 years together.

“They have been in the process of ending their relationship for a number of months,” Hudson’s rep told E! News. “Today, Jennifer requested and received a protective order against her ex-fiancé. Jennifer’s actions are solely taken in the best interest of their son. Please respect her privacy at this time.”

The two have an 8-year-old son named David Otunga Jr and it looks like the legal fight over their child will be a nasty one in court. Otunga’s lawyer issued a long statement over the couple’s breakup and the reason behind it.

“David Otunga has been trying to negotiate the terms of an amicable parenting agreement with Ms. Hudson for several weeks now. However, when it became apparent to Ms. Hudson that Mr. Otunga would be the parent granted residential care of the child, as a result of Mr. Otunga being the child’s primary caregiver while Ms. Hudson pursues her career all over the world, Ms. Hudson decided to file a meritless Petition for Order of Protection in an effort to gain an unfair advantage in the custody dispute,” Tracy Rizzo explained.

“As a result of Mr. Otunga’s career in the WWE, Ms. Hudson felt that she could give an award winning performance in court to portray herself as the victim. Mr. Otunga has never abused or harassed Ms. Hudson or their son, and it is unfortunate, especially in today’s climate, that she would feel the need to make these false allegations against him. Mr. Otunga looks forward to his day in court and in being awarded the residential care of the parties’ only child.”
