On a brighter note, Paula and Robin Thicke’s 11-year-old son, Julian, also went viral for singing the lead in a cover of Sara Bareilles’ “Little Voice.” Robin shared the beautiful moment online; in the caption, he wrote, “My son Julian Fuego Thicke!” Take a look:
Robin and Paula divorced in 2014 after getting married in 2005. They met as teenagers and went on to have a son in 2010. Paula filed for divorce, alleging infidelity, physical abuse, and drug use.
In 2017, the former couple worked out a custody arrangement for Julian. Robin moved on to another relationship and had a daughter with another woman. It’s not clear if Paula is on the dating scene, but she seems to be in an ideal co-parenting space with Robin.
