Michelle Branch and Patrick Carney are calling off their divorce and will spend time working on their marriage.

Back on August 11, Michelle announced that she split from Patrick after three years of marriage and she accused him of cheating. She was then arrested for domestic violence after allegedly hitting him during an argument.

Michelle officially filed for divorce a couple days later and the domestic assault charge was later dropped.
