Summary
Larry King filed for divorce to annul his nearly 13-year-old marriage. The 76-year-old host of CNN's Larry King Live filed hours before Shawn King (his wife) 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. Shawn'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. King's nightly news and interview show has been a CNN mainstay for nearly 25 years. He has three children from previous relationships.
