Season two American Idol winner Ruben Studdard has filed for divorce after three years of marriage to Surata Zuri McCants. Ruben met Surata in October 2006 at a CD signing event at an Atlanta Walmart. Reportedly Studdard took a break from signing CDs and followed Zuri the toys department to request her number. Two years later, 2008, the duo wed in Ruben’s hometown Birmingham, Alabama at the Canterbury United Methodist Church.
Ruben released a statement via his rep Jocelyn R. Coleman to E! News,
“Ruben and Zuri have gone their separate ways.”
It’s always sad when young love doesn’t last….
