Amy Winehouse Acknowledges Husband's Request For Divorce

Amy Winehouse has acknowledged her husband Blake Fielder-Civil's request for a divorce.

"Papers have been received and the matter is with Amy's lawyers,” a spokesman for the singer said.

Fielder-Civil announced yesterday (January 12th) that he was seeking divorce on the grounds of  Winehouse's alleged infidelity.

The couple married in Miami in May 2007 but have faced a constant string of personal problems, including Winehouse’s drug addiction.

Fielder-Civil is currently serving a 27-month prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to assaulting a pub landlord and perverting the course of justice.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Winehouse is currently on holiday in the Caribbean, where she has been linked to a 21-year old actor.
