Michelle Branch has been arrested for domestic assault following the announcement that she and husband Patrick Carney are splitting.

According to reports from TMZ, police were called to the couple’s home around 2am on Thursday for a domestic disturbance. 

Court documents seen by the publication state that Michelle admitted to slapping Patrick in the face ‘one to two times’.

Patrick did not have any visible injuries and Michelle was taken into custody with her bail set at $1,000 (£824). 

Michelle announced this week that she and The Black Keys’ drummer were splitting after three years of marriage. 

She told TMZ in a statement: ‘To say that I am totally devastated doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family.

‘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.’

Prior to announcing their split, Michelle had accused Patrick of cheating on her on Twitter before deleting the post. He has not yet addressed the claims publicly. 

Michelle and Patrick have been married since 2019 and share two children, with Michelle also having an older daughter from her first marriage to her bass player Teddy Landau. 

The couple, who live in Nashville, welcomed a son in 2018 and a daughter in February 2022. 

The Grammy award-winning singer, who rose to fame in the early 2000s, is currently preparing to release her fourth studio album. 

The Trouble With Fever is due to be released on September 16 with Michelle due to go on tour in the autumn.
