Kenny G Files for Divorce

Kenny G cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split

Kenny G and his wife are playing the same discordant tune.

The smooth-jazz hitmaker has filed for divorce, nearly seven months after his mate of almost 20 years, Balynda Benson-Gorelick, filed for a legal separation.

G, whose full name is Kenneth Bruce Gorelick, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, according to court documents obtained by E! News. They have two sons together, Max and Noah.
