How Much Babyface Has to Pay His ‘Moesha’ Star Ex-Wife in Their Divorce
When a celebrity relationship ends, a scandal can typically ensue. But not in the case of Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds and his ex-wife, Nicole Pantenburg. The famed producer and Moesha star were married for seven years, and it appears their split has been amicable. Babyface’s large monthly payments in his divorce settlement to Patenberg have been revealed.

In 2014, Babyface married Pantenburg after seven years of dating. Celebrity guests included Oprah Winfrey.
He surprised fans by announcing his engagement in a BET interview alongside Toni Braxton. “Would you ever consider getting married again?” she asked her longtime collaborator during their Q&A special. “I’ve already considered it,” he replied. “I’m engaged, so yes.”
The Waiting to Exhale soundtrack writer and producer announced their split in 2021. “After much thought and with great sadness, we have decided to end our marriage. We continue to care and have respect for one another and share eternal love for our daughter and her well-being,” the former couple told TMZ in a joint statement. “We ask for personal privacy for ourselves and our daughter as we navigate these new steps as a family,” they concluded.
What led to the split is unclear. They have one daughter together, 14-year-old Peyton Nicole. Babyface has two adult sons from a previous marriage to Tracey Edmonds. Tracey is now in a partnership with Deion Sanders.
