Kenny G has lost his decade-long legal battle with his ex-wife and has been ordered to pay more than $300,000.

The 66-year-old saxophonist, whose real name is Kenneth Gorlick, married Balynda “Lyndie” Benson-Gorelick on April 5, 1992. The couple then separated on January 9, 2012, and since then, they have been in a legal divorce battle that has ended.

Kenny was ordered to pay Lyndie $30,000 per month until July 2015, when he would no longer be required to pay child support for their two kids, Noah Reed, now 25, and Maxwell Benson, now 29.

As for his spousal support, he was ordered to pay his ex-wife $40,000 a month until they either died or remarried. Until last fall, when Kenny filed documents requesting the judge to lower the amount, he claimed a reduced income due to the fact he wasn’t touring.

His divorce attorney said that Lyndie has refused to become fully self-supporting.

The Superior Court of California for Los Angeles County ruled against Kenny’s request and favored Lyndie’s demand for attorney fees.

Lyndie’s lawyer countered that Kenny earns $600,000 just on rental income alone, and if his other assets were included, he would be making five to ten times as much as his ex-wife is making.

Lyndie was awarded a total of $320,000 for attorney fees and legal costs.
