LOS ANGELES - Larry King filed for divorce on Wednesday shortly before his seventh wife also sought to end the couple's nearly 13-year-old marriage.

The 76-year-old host of CNN's "Larry King Live" filed hours before Shawn King filed her own petition. Both cited "irreconcilable differences."

The couple were married in a hospital room in 1997 three days before Larry King underwent surgery to clear a clogged blood vessel. They have two sons, ages 11 and 9. The petitions differ in that Larry King is seeking joint custody, while his 50-year-old wife wants physical custody.

Larry King is also asking a judge not to award his wife any spousal support and to invalidate an agreement in which he transferred property to her, court records show.

Shawn King's petition seeks spousal support from her husband, along with ownership of the couple's home in Beverly Hills, Calif., and two properties in Utah.

"His major concern is the welfare of his children," said Howard Rubenstein, a spokesman for Larry King, adding that the talk-show host would not comment further on the divorce.

King's nightly news and interview show has been a CNN mainstay for nearly 25 years. He has three children from previous relationships.

The couple started house-hunting in California shortly after their marriage and lived in Beverly Hills. He is a Los Angeles Dodgers season ticket-holder and announced the start of the team's home opener to fans Tuesday.

yea.

marriage is so super de duper sacred.

I like Larry King alot, but something about that old geeezer strikes me as ornery when it comes to his wives. During the divorce phase his claws always come out, so to speak. He has done nothing but glowingly speak of how amazing and talented Shawn is for 13 years, now she's not even worthy of spousal support? They have two small kids, c'mon Larry,don't be like that, you old bugger.

Larry.....likes to marry.


Dude seems to be a true player.... must be the clothes.Or the money?

you lying!! he just 76?? stop lying he's got to be at least 90!

This is what happens when u marry someone your father's age.

It's got to be the money. But is all Larry's money worth having to spread your legs and accept that old lizard's demon seed? Just the thought of that fossil humping away on top of some young woman creeps me out - yeesh!

Plus he has the look of death, like Imus.

He must give amazing head.....once he takes the dentures out!

The sanctity of marriage and all that...

Evvy said:

This man was never attractive. Yikes.

His wives all look the same.

Every pic with each wife looks like a kidnapping.

Having Larry King put the moves on you would be a traumatic experience, imo.

OMG LMAO 4 like 4 mns with that! U no when u get started laughing and u can't stop!

We won't allow for same-sex marriage, yet people get to up and drop their marriages left n right like dirty laundry. Hmmph. Can't stay faithful, can't work it out, can't be honest...

can't let homosexuals get married and have children, but old ass geezers can get married and (apparently) have children, and be provided with little blue pills to help them continue to keep it up (because that's natural?!?). FOHWTS!!

Yeah marriage is so sacred we let old geezers marry women three times younger than them and then they divorce.

Seriously Larry King scares the bejesus out of me.

I can't believe she stayed with him that long. Aint enough money in the world to make me wanna be legally obligated to fuck that old coot. Plus he's scary looking as hell. 8th divorce. This dude ought to be banned from getting married, if not for his absolute failure at holding a wife then at least to protect his finances. He's basically working to pay ex-wives.



Ban his ass from the fertility clinic too...he too old and ugly to keep reproducing.

maybe 102?

During an interview with Trump, the Donald told Larry he had some serious dragon breath. That's a real treat for the ladies.

There should be a 3 strikes law when it comes to marriage. Strike 1 = we all make mistakes. Strike 2 = You gave it a good shot but it just didn't work. Strike 3 = You didn't learn your lesson the first two times so you're done...no more legal marriage for you!
