News in the streets are that Beenie Man and D'Angel are heading down the path of divorce. It was reported that D'Angel, whose real name is Michelle Downer, has allegedly filed for a divorce from her husband, Beenie Man.
After their marriage in 2006, the couple separated less than a year into the marriage, but went back togather last year.
The couple enjoyed a fairy-tale wedding in August 2006, but have since had a publicly turbulent relationship with accusations of severe physical abuse being meted out to D’Angel, a former lover of Beenie Man’s arch rival, Bounty Killer.
This led to a fiery separation less than a year into the marriage, while the only child of the union, Marco-Dean was not yet a year old.
Last year Beenie Man and D'Angel, after a very public and amorous kissing marathon inside the press tent at Reggae Sumfest, announced that they were giving their marriage a second chance.
In an interview in August 2010 with Jamaica’s hugely popular afternoon tabloid, The Star, D’Angel said she had forgiven her husband for his abusive behavior. D'Angel said:
"Where the marriage is concerned, we leave that in God’s hands. Marriages always have ups and downs."
Since then, the couple has been keeping up the public profile of togetherness, appearing on stage shows together, dropping off Marco-Dean together at his society preparatory school and just recently posing for the cameras at D’Angel’s birthday party.
However, according to ChatyChaty.com -- an acquaintance of the couple told them:
“Everytime something happen, Angel swear sey a it dat and she a go divorce Beenie. But by the time you look round, dem mek up back and a chat and laugh like dem really in love.”
But the female friend added:
“Something went down the other day and Beenie said he was going to file for a divorce, but Angel said that wasn’t possible since she had already filed for the divorce.”
When pressed by ChatyChaty.com if that “something” was the fact that D’Angel had chosen to leave the island on the very day that Beenie Man was discharged from hospital after his surgery, she declined to comment.
Reports are that Beenie Man was quite angry that D’Angel flew out of the island to go shopping for her store on the day he was sent home from hospital. He reportedly went around asking friends if they thought that a wife who loved her husband would have done something like that.
Meanwhile, neither Beenie Man nor D’Angel could be reached for comment. Both artists did an collaboration recently, called 'Time Of My Life.
