The couple, who have been married since 2008, have three-year-old twins together, Monroe and Moroccan, reported the Huffington Post.

"There is trouble in paradise. We have been living in separate houses for a few months. My main focus is my kids," he said.

The 33-year-old 'America's Got Talent' host however quashed the rumour that the problems in his marriage are due to infidelity.
