Rolle also works as an Art direction and Photography provider in addition to managing artists.
How Long Were They Married For?

The couple was married for 23 years until Price called for a divorce in 2015 which eventually materialized in 2016. They seemed like a happy couple with everything going on well for the family. However, apparently, it wasn’t so.
Though they have two grown-up kids now and had been married for almost 3 decades, the relationship took a nosedive and ended. Their kids are however living their separate lives and are in support of their parent’s decisions.
What Caused Jeffrey Rolle’s Divorce With His Wife Kelly Price?
In a statement given during an Interview, Kelly stated that the cause of the divorce was a result of her grief. She stated that after the death of her sister in 2014, she was weighed down heavily. She said that in those moments of grief and sadness, she realized that getting a divorce from her long-time partner was something they should do.
Price made the decision to begin to live her best life as she had been in a relationship with her husband for a long time. She did not want to compromise on true happiness anymore. However, she emphasized that she wasn’t ending the marriage based on any bad blood. There were no hard feelings between both of them and she stated that she would always love the father of her two kids till the day she dies. Kelly featured the divorce in the lyrics of her album ‘Sing Pray Love, Vol. 2: Pray’.
The end of the marriage also served as the end of his role as her manager. This being said, Jeffrey had lost two out of three positions he held in her life. He no longer served as her manager and is no longer Price’s husband. However, they would always remain parents to their two kids; Jeffrey Jr. and Jonia Rolle.
