Four months after it emerged she had filed for divorce, Tameka 'Tiny' Cottle-Harris is said to have served her estranged husband, rapper T.I., with the official documents.

E! reported on Thursday that the hit-maker, 36, was served with divorce papers earlier this week and, on April 24, he filed an acknowledgement of the service.

Tameka, 41, filed for divorce from T.I., whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., at the Superior Court Of Henry County in the state of Georgia in December after six years of marriage.

The pair were married in Miami back in July 30, 2010 as they have been in a relationship since 2001.

They have sons King Harris, 16, Major Philant, eight, and daughter Heiress Diana, age two, together.

Their daughter Leyah was tragically born stillborn in 2007.

In the court documents, Tameka said the marriage was 'irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation,' according to ET, who obtained the papers last year. 

She is seeking joint legal custody and primary physical custody of all of their children who are minors, adds the website. 

The couple have a family reality show titled T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle which has had five seasons on VH1.

During a recent appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, Tameka admitted the reality show contributed to some of the strain in their marriage. 

'I think reality TV did, you know, put a little strain in it, just because it keeps people in your business,' she said.  

When asked about why she filed for divorce, she said things were just not working out for them.

'We just cannot keep it together,' she said. 'The entertainment life and everything, it's just a lot, you know?'
