Milli Vanilli Member Fabrice Morvan's Wife Kim Marlowe Files for Divorce

In October, Morvan told PEOPLE he's been living in Amsterdam with partner Tessa van der Steen and their four children

Fabrice Morvan of Milli Vanilli fame is heading for a divorce from his wife, Kim Marlowe.

On Monday, Marlowe filed paperwork to end her marriage to Morvan, 57, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE.

The pair's marriage was largely unknown. In a 1997 interview with theLos Angeles Times about Morvan's life following Milli Vanilli's swift fall from grace due to the R&B duo's lip-syncing scandal, Marlowe was described as the musician's "manager and best friend."

Last year, Morvan told PEOPLE he's been living in Amsterdam with partner Tessa van der Steen and their four children: Sacha, 10, Solange, 7, and twins Paris and Vince, 2.

Marlowe and Morvan appear to have sustained a working relationship. She was an executive producer on Paramount+'s recent documentary about Milli Vanilli. He was photographed at the film's June 2023 premiere alongside both Marlowe and van der Steen.

The documentary chronicled Milli Vanilli's rise to fame in the late ‘80s with hits like "Girl You Know It’s True" and "Blame It on the Rain" through the duo's downfall after it was revealed he and groupmate Rob Pilatus were not the vocalists on any of Milli Vanilli's hits.

"People always thought they knew the story," Morvan told PEOPLE around the film's release, “but my story has never been told.”

Morvan and Pilatus (who died of a suspected overdose in 1998) were signed by label executive Frank Farian in 1987 and quickly soared to stardom, earning three No. 1 hits and a Grammy award for best new artist.

They performed at the awards show, which generally forbids lip syncing. Once the secret was exposed in November 1990, Milli Vanilli became the first act to ever have its Grammy Award revoked by the Recording Academy.

Fans quickly turned on them, with many destroying their albums. “We went from being these loved characters to being laughed at and ridiculed,” Morvan recalls. “We were the butt of all the jokes and easy targets.” They also faced racism. “It was ugly,” he adds. “Rob took it really personally.”

Since then, Morvan told PEOPLE fatherhood has brought light into his life: "It healed me, because suddenly they became the focal point."

He ultimately found peace with Milli Vanilli's complicated legacy and remains committed to music. “I said to myself, ‘Hey, let’s go for it. You’ve got nothing to lose,’” said Morvan. “I saw the light at the end of the tunnel.”
