Slash's estranged wife Perla Hudson told a cameraman from TMZ that her separation from the legendary guitarist is "pretty amicable," adding that "he's gonna do the right thing for me and his children" in the couple's upcoming divorce. Asked how their assets will be divided in lieu of a prenuptial agreement, Perla said, "I don't know how any of that's gonna work, but I know he's gonna do the right thing for me and his children, as I would do the right thing to him. Like I said, it's amicable, so there's no bad blood — at least not yet."
Slash filed for divorce from Perla in December after 13 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." He is asking for joint custody of their two sons, 12-year-old London and 10-year-old Cash.
Perla said, "[Slash and I] had a really long, lasting, loving relationship for a long time. We're best friends, we're business partners, and we just wanna do what's best for our kids."
