Larry King has filed for divorce from his seventh wife, Shawn Southwick, Popeater.com reported on April 15. The talk show legend stated “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the break-up.

However, rumors are swirling that Southwick thinks King had a five-year affair with her sister, Shannon Engemann. Southwick allegedly looked at one of his credit card statements and saw expensive charges, including a $160,000 car, but she claims she never received anything form King. Engremann has denied the affair, which was first reported on by the National Enquirer last year.

Southwick is also being accused of cheating, including with one of her husband’s employees. The Enquirer also claimed in 2008 that she had an affair with one of her sons’ baseball coach.

The 76-year-old CNN host married the 50-year-old former singer in 1997 in a hospital before he went into surgery for a clogged blood vessel. They had two sons together, 11-year-old Chance and 9-year-old Cannon. This will be Kings’ eighth divorce from seven different women.

King’s spokesman, Howard Rubenstein, told People magazine that his client’s main concern is with his children. King is seeking joint custody of Chance and Cannon. He also wants the court to deny Southwick spousal support. In response, she asked the court for primary physical custody and spousal and child support.
