ALFONSO RIBEIRO FILES FOR DIVORCE: Actor also prepares for new Fox reality series “Celebrity Duets.”
*Alfonso Ribeiro, the original Tap Dance Kid and star of such sitcoms as "Silver Spoons" and "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," has reportedly filed for divorce from his wife Robin after four years of marriage.
According to TMZ.com, Wednesday’s filing cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. The couple got married in January 2002 and have one child together, 3-year-old Sienna.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Ribeiro is seeking joint legal custody of Sienna, while physical custody will remain with his wife. The documents also outline the couple's visitation plans; alternate weekends and Wednesday afternoons.
As Ribeiro’s marriage comes to an end, his professional career may or may not get a jolt with the Aug. 29 premiere of “Celebrity Duets,” a new reality show from FOX that pairs real singing stars with non-singing celebrities in a talent competition.
Ribeiro was revealed in a recent promo as one of the non-singers to be paired with a veteran. Smokey Robinson, Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, Dionne Warwick, Macy Gray, Aaron Neville and Brian McKnight are among the previously announced professionals to take part in the show.
Each week, the celebrities will be paired with a different recording artist. The show will follow the pros’ mentoring of the stars each week as they choose songs and perform popular duets live in front of a panel of judges, a studio audience and television viewers.
As previously reported, the series will premiere with a two-hour episode Tuesday, Aug. 29 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on FOX (encoring Thursday, Aug. 31 8 to 10 p.m. ET/PT on FOX). Beginning Thursday, Sept. 7 (9-10 p.m.) “Celebrity Duets” will air live in its regular Thursday night time slot.
