Larry King and Shawn Southwick Call Off Divorce

By PopEater Staff Posted May 11th 2010 11:59PM

Call it a happy Hollywood ending, as Larry King and his seventh wife, Shawn Southwick, have officially called off their divorce, with the 76-year-old CNN host moving out of a hotel and back into the family home, his spokesman said on Tuesday.

"They have stopped the divorce proceedings," spokesman Howard Rubenstein told Reuters. "He has moved back home."

The couple, who both had cited irreconcilable differences, were back together this week.

"We love our children, we love each other, we love being a family. That is all that matters to us," the couple said in a joint statement. "We owe it to ourselves and our children to continue being dedicated to each other. We want to thank our friends for their loyal love and support -- for being there for us."

Earlier in the day, there were reports the couple had postponed the deadline for their divorce for a third time. Just last week, King, 76, and Southwick, 50, both were still undecided about whether or not their marriage could be saved--and asked for an extension to a previously set deadline. Tuesday was decision day.

Southwick originally filed for divorce in April after hearing of an affair between King and her sister, Shannon Engemann, 47. Within minutes, King also filed for divorce, citing infidelity as well. (Southwick was accused of having an affair in 2007 with their sons' baseball coach.)

But Engemann told the Daily News Tuesday they've worked through everything. "It was just a lot of misunderstanding and jumping to conclusions," said Engemann. "Shawn and I spoke, and we're getting along great. We love each other very much. She's very clear on everything now."

It definitely seems like the King and Southwick aren't too eager to wrap up their almost 13-year long marriage. The two have recently shared loving hugs at their sons' baseball games and even attended marriage counseling.

Vote down Vote up Report this

EVERYONE knew he was a LIAR when:
1) He claimed Southwick had to watch Larry King Live when they were doing the nasty ... EVERYONE HAS TIVO ... DUH!
2) She wanted to get pregnant before her biological clock ended ... She already has 3 kids and at 50, her age, that clock already stopped and was sent to teh county dump YEARS AGO.
The idiot that claimed she had an affair with him lied to get fame and an agent ... that was OBVIOUS

Who cares!? Golddigger Barbie and the CryptKeeper deserve each other. This is NOT news

Who cares! This is THEIR business and no one else. This is the very thing that causes many divorces in Hollywood. I think reporting like this should be outlawed. It's caused more problems than it has ever helped. Our country needs an admendment to the constitution that ALL citizens have a right to privacy.
