Dan Reynolds splits from wife after seven ‘beautiful’ years

Imagine Dragons star Dan Reynolds has split from his wife of seven years.
The 30-year-old singer took to Twitter on Thursday (26.04.18) to reveal he and Aja Volkman – with whom he has 13-month-old twins Gia and Coco and five-year-old daughter Arrow – have sadly parted ways, and though he didn’t say what caused their split, Dan says their priority is now their three daughters.
He wrote: "after 7 beautiful years together, Aja and I’s marriage has come to an end. Our children continue to be the most important thing in our lives, & we will continue to co-parent them with all our love… [sic]"
The ‘Thunder’ hitmaker asked for his fans to respect the family’s privacy as they move forward with co-parenting.
He added: "I ask that you please respect our privacy at this time as we work through this as a family. [sic]"
The news will no doubt come as a surprise to fans, as just last month the couple appeared to be in good spirits as they attended a screening of HBO documentary ‘Believer’ together.
The pair first met in 2010 at a nightclub in Las Vegas after hitting it off with their shared love of music, and they tied the knot just a year later.
Speaking about meeting Aja, Dan said previously: "It seemed that music was the only link we had. But as we got to know each other on a more personal level, we found that we had so many similarities in our hearts that it was scary.
"I never had met someone who I connected to so instantly. Everything about her captivated me. I needed to know her."
Aja, who is also a musician, admitted at the time that she didn’t plan on being in a relationship.
She explained: "I was kind of at a place in my life where I thought, ‘This guy is so cute, but I’m not really interested in meeting anybody right now’.
"But we really just fell in love, and about a year later we ended up getting married and then we had a baby."
Meanwhile, Dan has previously spoken about his battle with depression over the years, and how it has affected his relationship with his family.
Speaking last year, he admitted: "It came to a point where I didn’t have an option.
"It was lose my family and lose my life or seek help."
