Imagine Dragons star heading for divorce four years after previously 'splitting'

Imagine Dragons lead singer Dan Reynolds has split from his wife, Aja Volkman, and are now said to be heading for divorce.

The 35-year-old Radioactive singer tied-the-knot with 42-year-old Nico Vegas frontwoman Aja back in March 2001.

Together the couple share four children; 10-year-old daughter Arrow, twin girls Coco and Gia, five, and two-year-old son, Valentine.

And while Dan and Aja had previously declared they would divorce in 2018, only to reconcile, they have now again vowed to give up on their relationship.

Dan made the news public in a tweet, writing: “I am saddened to say that after many beautiful years together Aja and I have separated.

“Being great parents to our children is our number one priority. Thank you for always supporting us with love and care for all these years.”

The end of the marriage comes just nine weeks after Aja made a gushing tribute to Dan on Instagram as she marked his birthday.

She wrote at the time: “Happy Birthday to my best friend. I’ve never seen anyone work so hard at life. Thank you for inspiring all of us who know you to live more fully.

“Thank you for being such a dynamic person who keeps me on my toes. Thanks for caring so much about so many people. You are forever young because that’s just the nature of your soul.”

She added: “And thank you for being a great Dad and partner.”

Fans have reacted to Dan’s posts about the end of his marriage to offer condolences and support.

One wrote: “I'm so sorry to hear this news Dan and I'm sending you and Aja love as you work through this transition. Love to you all.”

And another commented: “I was happy that your marriage was restored the first time and instead, this morning I read some sad news .... I am so sorry. I was hoping for a lot, but obviously it broke completely.”

Aja previously opened up about her decision to give love with Dan a second chance after they previously considered divorce.

Revealing he had re-proposed in 2019, she wrote: "I've never caused so much hurt or been so hurt by another human in my life. It took us a long time to really see each other."

She continued, "We went through a whirlwind of successes and failures and we held each other tight because it was scary. But we also suffocated each other. We didn't know ourselves well enough to maintain the strength from within. And it all began to crumble."

Aja went on to explain she spent seven months conducting "deep soul searching," before she and Dan "decided to stay together" and "start again."

She wrote: "We didn't need the words. We were both forgiven," she shared. "He got on one knee and before he could open his mouth I began to cry. Loaded tears that held nearly 10 years of growth."

She added: "The answer has always been yes."
