The couple have a three-year-old daughter, Pearl, and in the statement the 33-year-old emphasises their plans to “make sure that she has a beautiful life with loving parents”.
Jake made the announcement on Twitter.
The pair married in 2012 after a one month engagement – however, Jake reported problems in the relationship in recent times.
Speaking on America’s Morning Show recently, the singer said: “My wife and I, for the last few months, have really been having a hard time and struggling with communication, and literally talking about divorce and all kinds of stuff.”
The pair are parents to three-year-old Olive.
The couple first met when Lacey starred in Jake’s Eight Second Ride music video in 2006.
