Ray J claims that his relationship with Princess Love hasn’t been all that great for him, and that he stuck around because he has different priorities.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club that aired on Wednesday (March 20), he revealed that he stayed together with his wife for the sake of his kids despite not being happy in their marriage.
“I guess happiness is important, but for me, if my kids are happy, then I don’t care about happiness,” he said.
“And a lot of people, ‘Hey, say you have to be happy for your kids,’ and yeah, for sure, and I feel like I have the power in my hands now.”
He continued: “But at the same time, the fact that we made the vow and I’m 100% I could not be happy and just ride it for the kids and figure out which years we gon’ have that’s gon be great and which aren’t. So I’m willing to not be happy to be around my kids every day.”

In late February, Princess Love and Ray J announced their split for the fourth time. She took to Instagram to make the announcement, revealing that it’s in their “best interest” to part ways.
“It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our decision to divorce,” she began in the written statement.
“After much reflection, discussion, and counseling, we have come to the difficult realization that our paths have diverged, and it is in the best interest of both of us to part ways.”
She continued: “We want to reassure you that this decision was made thoughtfully and with mutual respect and consideration for each other’s well-being. While our relationship as spouses may be coming to an end, we remain committed to co-parenting our children and maintaining a positive and supportive family dynamic.”
With the comments turned off, she added in the caption, “Trusting GOD with the next chapter of our lives. Peace and Love. Always.”
Ray J and Princess Love wed in August 2016 after four years of dating — they share a five-year-old daughter named Melody and a four-year-old son named Epik.
