Larry King Reveals Why He Divorced Wife of 22 Years Shawn King

Larry King, 86, is revealing why he separated from his wife of 22 years Shawn Southwick King, 60.

“I’m sorry about the marriage,” the journalist told People. “I’ll always care for my wife. But it just hit a point where we didn’t get along.”

“We had a big age difference and that eventually takes its toll. It became an issue. Also, [Shawn] is a very religious Mormon and I’m an agnostic atheist, so that eventually causes little problems,” Larry said. “We overcame a lot, but eventually it became a ships passing in the night situation.”

“I thought a lot about what I wanted the rest of my life to be. When there are moments of unhappiness in a marriage, you can overcome it at 40, but at my age, it became a lot. I wanted to be happy. Separating was of course difficult. But there is nothing worse than arguing,” he continued.

“I wish her nothing but the best,” he added. “We love each other.”

Larry and Shawn officially filed for divorce back in May.

Larry King Files for Divorce From Wife Shawn After Nearly 22 Years of Marriage

Larry King is getting a divorce after over two decades of marriage.

Larry has been married eight times to seven different women.

He married Shawn back in 1997 in his hospital room as he prepared for surgery to clear a clogged blood vessel in his heart.

Larry King Reveals Stage 1 Lung Cancer Diagnosis

Larry King reveals he was diagnosed with lung cancer and he caught it early because of a routine chest X-ray.

“I have a checkup every year. I’ve gone through a lot in my life – I’ve had a heart attack and heart surgery. Part of my checkup is the chest X-ray, and that is the protocol. I do it every year… it was always normal. Then the doctor says, ‘I see a little spot here. Let’s do a CAT scan, so they do a CAT scan, and they say, ‘Let’s do a PET scan’… I don’t think there are any other scans,” the 83-year-old told Extra.

The doctor told Larry, “You have a small [spot]. It could be malignant, it could be benign – we ought to take it out.”

“On July 17, I had the surgery here at Cedars. They took it out. It was malignant. They were going to take it out if it was malignant or benign. They tested it. They said, ‘You are fine.’ It was stage 1,” Larry continued. “I had no clue at all. If I had not had the chest X-ray, it would have progressed.”

“The reason I go public with it is to tell people, ‘Get a chest X-ray.’ I smoked for thirty years. The day of the heart attack, I never smoked again, and I smoked three packs a day – I smoked in the shower,” he added. “Thirty years later, I said to the doctor, ‘Is this connected with that?’ Absolutely.”

Larry added he is now on the mend. We’re wishing him the best and hope his recovery continues to go well!
