Larry King Divorced His Wife (Through The Media) Because She Was Banging Their Son's Baseball Coach And Tried To Make Him Change His Will To Leave Her Everything While He Was In The Hospital (Allegedly)

TMZ – … Larry filed for divorce Tuesday because we’re told their 2 kids came to him and urged him to divorce her. A source on Shawn’s side says only one of their children urged him to divorce her.

As for what triggered things … we’re told Shawn came to Larry’s bedside and asked him to adjust his will/trust. Sources connected to Larry say Shawn’s endgame was to get more for herself and screw the kids out of their inheritance. Sources on Shawn’s side call BS, saying the estate planning lawyer told Larry and Shawn to update the docs and when she was told he had days to live she was merely following through, but in no way tried to screw over her kids.

There are a lot of reasons why a 37 year old woman marries a rich and successful and powerful 63 year old man, and love is maybe like, #34 on the list.  Not trying to be cynical, just realistic. A 63 year old dude with multiple health problems – let’s just say I don’t think Shawn Engemann was expecting the 22 years of marriage that came after.  I mean they literally got married in his hospital room 3 days before he was getting heart surgery.  Just connecting the dots here.

King had what we could say “a problem” with staying married too:

Freda Miller – married in 1952, divorced in 1953.

Annette Kaye – married, have child Larry Jr in 1961, divorced.

Alene Akins, Playboy Bunny – married in 1961, adopts her son Andy, divorced in 1963.

Mickey Sutphin – married in 1963, she divorces him.

Alene Akins, Playboy Bunny – REmarry, have child Chaia in 1969, divorce in 1972.

Sharon Leopre, math teacher – married in 1976, divorced in 1983.

Julie Alexander – meet in 1989, he proposes ON FIRST DATE, live in different cities entire marriage, separated in 1990, divorced in 1992.

Deanna Lund, actress – engaged in 1995 AFTER 5 WEEKS OF DATING, never got married.

Shawn Southwick – married 1997 (in his hospital room before his heart surgery), have son Chance in 1999, have son Cannon in 2000, filed for divorce in 2010, reconciled, divorced in 2019.

(So many questions.  Does the family have to go to all 8 weddings?  After like, the third, can you just start sending your card through the mail?  Same with Best Man – on the plus side, if you have 8 best friends, at least each one gets a shot and you don’t have to hurt any feelings.  When you’re Deanna, meeting the guy after 7 divorces, the last one after getting engaged on the first date, do any warning signs go up when he proposes after 5 weeks?  I guess the money really helps you feel like THIS time it’s different.)

Anyway this latest marriage may have been the first one to last double digits, but there were a couple problems.  For one, she fucked their son’s baseball coach like, a lot of times.

LOS ANGELES – A baseball coach is claiming he scored with Larry King’s wife before her divorce filing last week and says she openly mused about the CNN anchor’s demise.

..coach and aspiring actor Hector Penate confirms his affair with King’s seventh wife, Shawn Southwick.

He said Southwick, 50, often spoke to him of her desire to divorce the 76-year-old King, and wistfully told him, “‘Don’t worry, he’s gonna die soon.'”

He claims that he vacationed with Southwick and her children with King in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and had sex in King’s bed. “We had sex in Larry’s bed a lot,” he said. “I felt like it was my house.”

Oof.

To take the sting off that one, Larry fucked his wife’s little sister and bought her a $160K Benz.

Larry King has finally decided to come clean on his dirty laundry and finally confess the truth about his secret steamy flirtation with his sister-in-law.

The now 81-year-old former CNN host admitted that he never had intercourse with his wife’s younger sister, Shannon Engemann, but he did acknowledge that other types of activities occurred. Opens a New Window.

”It was just a flirtation,” Larry insisted in an interview. However, he added, ”I never made love to her.”

“I had sex with Larry, and he bought me an expensive car Opens a New Window. ,” Engemann told a close pal at the time, referring to a $160,000 Mercedes-Benz that led to exposure of the dalliance. (Radar)

(Oh, he never made love to her (lol), so, “allegedly.”)

So for all you kids and young couples out there who think romance and love and marriage is dead…well, according to Larry, maybe it is.
