Tomeka Thiam files for divorce from Akon after 29 years
Tomeka Thiam filed for divorce from Akon (Aliaune Badara Thiam) on 11 September 2025, citing irreconcilable differences and listing their date of separation as TBD. This filing occurred just four days before their 29th wedding anniversary on 15 September 2025.
The couple, who share five children, including daughter Journey born in 2007, had built a remarkably private life together over nearly three decades. Tomeka, born around 1975, is an entrepreneur and salon owner of Salon A La Saison in Buckhead, Atlanta, which she founded in 2012.
She has also pursued a music career under the name Amirror, with her debut album released in 2024, which Akon produced and promoted. The couple met in the early 1990s and married in 1996, before Akon achieved international fame.
Their recent professional collaboration made the divorce filing particularly surprising to fans.
