Kevin Gates’ marriage to Dreka Gates is coming to an end.
On Wednesday, July 30, the “I Don’t Get Tired” rapper’s estranged wife of nine years filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, per documents obtained by PEOPLE from the Superior Court of Los Angeles.
Dreka, 38, is requesting joint legal and physical custody of their two children Islah, 12, and Khaza, 11, as well as spousal support from Kevin, 39, whom she married in October 2015. She is also asking that her ex cover her attorney’s fees.

PEOPLE reached out to Renner and Gates for comment.
News of the couple’s divorce comes more than two months after Brittany Renner revealed that her spiritual marriage to Gates was over.
The influencer spoke to Los Angeles radio station REAL 92.3 LA on June 7 and said that the pair had divorced after 52 days of marriage.
“We got married April 6 and divorced May 28,” Renner, who recently converted to Islam, said at the time.
At the time, she reassured her fans that “all is well” despite her marriage to Kevin ending.
“I don’t feel like it’s a sucky situation because what is meant to be is always going to be,” said Renner.
She then doubled down on not having any regrets about the situation.
“I followed my heart and that’s what more than most people can say, and I think when you do that, you get all the clarity you need and there’s no stone left unturned and there’s no regret,” said Renner.
She added: “A lot of people, their issue is, even just in dating, in marriage, it’s people just don’t give it their all. They don’t just go for it. But I feel like when you do, you’re at peace with whatever happens because I gave 100 percent.”
Previously, Renner was involved with Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington, with whom she shares a 4-year-old child.
PEOPLE reached out to Renner and Gates for comment at the time, but did not immediately hear back.
