Tyrese has revealed what he claims to be the final figure he's spent on divorce proceedings from ex-wife Samantha Gibson.

On Friday (December 26), the singer and actor shared a lengthy post on Instagram detailing "one of the most emotionally draining seasons of my life," claiming that he's spent almost $2 million in legal fees.

He also alleged that he "endured almost $50 million worth of public scrutiny, PR damage, and reputational attacks" that were "tied to divorce and child support battles the whole world got to witness."

As part of his post, Tyrese revealed that his divorce has officially been finalized. With that news now out, he let his followers know about his upcoming plans.

"First stop: Turks and Caicos Birthday and New Years 2026!" he wrote. "Capricorn season! Birthday Dec 30th and a NYE 2026 birthday celebration LEGENDARY WHITE PARTY that will hit on NEW LEVELS."

"I’m walking proof that the cup still runneth over. [ the true bag bag stayed tucked tucked while lawyers was on the prowl FOH ]," he continued. "I feel LIBERATED only the real ones out there can truly relate…. The devil tried! THANK YOU JESUS!! I survived!!!"

Tyrese has been open with the world about the extent of his troubles that he’s dealt with regarding the divorce from his ex-wife, from dealing with legal issues due to unpaid legal fees, to how he even feels about his ex-wife in the first place.

In an interview with Angela Yee on her Lip Service podcast last year, Tyrese explained how his ex-wife was the one woman who truly "hurt" him.

"There’s nobody in the world who’s caught me more off guard and hurt me more than that woman," he said at the time. "So no, I don’t trust you. I will never ever be able to unsee and unfeel."

He continued: "Doesn’t mean I’m festering and I’m bitter. It means thank you Jesus that someone in their true intentions was revealed to me and I’m gonna make the decision to not hang out with pain."

Tyrese and Samantha share a daughter, Soraya. They married in 2017 and filed for divorce in 2020, with legal disputes tied to finances ongoing up until this year.
