Michelle Branch announces split from Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney

Singer-songwriter Michelle Branch and Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney have split after three years of marriage.

"To say that I am totally devastated doesn't even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family," Branch said in a statement to People and TMZ. "The rug has been completely pulled from underneath me and now I must figure out how to move forward. With such small children, I ask for privacy and kindness."

The statement comes after the "Everywhere" singer alleged Wednesday in a since-deleted tweet that Carney cheated on her with his manager while she "was home with our 6 month old daughter." (Branch gave birth to Willie Jacquet in February.)
