Why is Michelle Branch splitting from Patrick Carney?

On August 11, 2022, TMZ reported that Branch and Carney called it quits after she accused the drummer for The Black Keys of cheating.

"To say that I am totally devastated doesn't even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family," she told the outlet on Thursday.

"The rug has been completely pulled from underneath me and now I must figure out how to move forward. With such small children, I ask for privacy and kindness.”

After news of their split, Branch was arrested for allegedly slapping her estranged husband in the face, according to TMZ.

Police were called to their Nashville home on Thursday around 2am for a possible domestic disturbance.

According to court documents obtained by the outlet, "Michelle admitted she had slapped Patrick in the face 'one to two times.'"

The 39-year-old was taken into custody with a bail of $1,000, however, she was released early because she's breastfeeding their 6-month-old child.
