SEPARATED: Robin Thicke and Paula Patton?

Once high school sweethearts, and nine years of marriage later, Singer Robin Thicke and Actress Paula Patton has decided to 'separate'.


TMZ reported, Paula Patton has finally had enough of Robin Thicke's grab assing -- she just announced the couple is separating after 9 years of marriage.

The couple released a statement, saying "We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."

It shouldn't be all that surprising -- considering Robin's constant flirting with other women ... like the time he grabbed a female fan's ass after the VMAs last year ... the same night Miley Cyrus was grinding all over him on stage -- but Paula has repeatedly said the behavior didn't bother her.

ForeverMeah says... I really hope they work it out but Robin was getting a little sloppy.
