Essence.com is reporting that the Grammy Award-winning singer and Lewis, formerly of the R&B group Mint Condition, have suddenly separated after eight years of marriage.

The couple has two seven-year-old Denim and six-year-old Diezel.

There was not news on what prompted the split, but there is widespread speculation that a key trigger was an onstage kiss between Braxton, 43, and singer Trey Songz, 25, after their performance of Braxton's new song, "Yesterday," at the recent taping of the Soul Train Awards in Atlanta.

Her husband was present in the audience.

Songz is also featured in the video for "Yesterday."
