Mike Epps Doesn't Have to Hide His Online Flirting Anymore

He no longer has a wife keeping watch of his behavior.

After 10 years of marriage, Mike Epps has called it quits with her wife, Mechelle

According to TMZ, the actor/comedian filed the papers on Tuesday in L.A. superior court. The couple, who tied the knot in July 2005, separated last summer.

As far as their daughters are concerned, Mike is asking for joint custody of them both: Maddie, 8; and Mariah, 10. There's still no word yet on whether a pre-nup is in place. 

The Bessie actor reportedly revealed that he is worth $6 million — a number that is expected to rise after he stars in a slew of upcoming projects including the star role in the highly anticipated Richard Pryor biopic, and the upcoming ABC series Uncle Buck.
