Former Korean pop diva Im Sang A ended her 13-year marriage with her American husband Jamie Propp, online celebrity news outlet OSEN reported on Wednesday.

“Im Sang A divorced music producer Jamie Propp, whom she married in 2001,” OSEN reported. The couple has one daughter.

The precise date of and reason for the separation remain unknown. Critics believe that the divorce took place recently, since Im and Propp appeared in multiple Korean TV shows together in 2010 to talk about their happy marriage.

Propp’s wealth and influence reportedly contributed greatly to Im’s dramatic leap from singer to bag designer and the launch of her brand, Sang A. A number of Hollywood stars and divas, including Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, Brooke Shields and Rihanna, have been seen holding Sang A bags.
