As revealed by TMZ, Ruben Studdard's ex-wife, Surata Zuri McCants, was able to retain a number of personal belongings, including her wedding dress, her photo albums, a 2006 BMW (which Studdard was to pay off), a $10,000 property settlement, and $2,000 to cover her attorney fees. All in all, the outlet described the pair's split as the "CLEANEST divorce ever," crediting Studdard's "ironclad prenup" for the easy turnaround.
According to the New York Daily News, Studdard and McCants met in 2006 at an Atlanta Walmart where he was signing autographs for fans. Two years later, in June 2008, they wed.
Following Studdard's "American Idol" win in 2003, his first album, "Soulful," garnered a Grammy nomination for his single "Superstar," and his second album, "I Need an Angel," debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 20. Sadly, Studdard's latest album, "The Return," seemed to show a substantial decline in his music career, selling only 71,000 copies in its first week. But we are sure the "Velvet Teddy Bear" will find a way to bounce back just like he did after his divorce!
