For years, both Jones and Merkerson stayed away from the spotlight and kept their life away from the media. They did not have any children together. From the outside, their marriage seemed to be perfect, but there were problems that others were not privy to on the inside.
After twelve years of marriage, and even more years together, the duo separated. Their divorce was finalized on February 14, 2006. Details about their split were kept hidden; however, while accepting her SAG Award for her portrayal of Rachel Crosby, in the movie Lackawanna Blues, Merkerson thanked her divorce lawyer.
