Larry King, wife to seek counselling…for the kids

NEW YORK - American telly host Larry King and estranged wife Shawn Southwick will soon be seeking counselling so that their split has a minimal effect on their kids, it has emerged.

The couple is parents to sons, Chance, 11, and Cannon, 9.

“If it happens, the topic would be the kids,” the New York Daily News quoted an informer as saying about the proposed counselling.

According to TMZ, King, 76, and Southwick, 50, filed divorce papers earlier this week following a huge row over the singer’s suspicion that the CNN star was romancing her sis, Shannon Engemann, 46.

“I believe that there is very little chance for reconciliation in this marriage,” King’s divorce lawyer Dennis Wasser said.

“Don’t assume anything. All you can presume is that his major interest is his children,” King’s spokesman Howard Rubenstein said.

A family friend said: “Their whole marriage has been one big spat. They’re both drama queens. They break up to make up.

“Shawn has been important in keeping him alive. She helped him lose weight and quit smoking.” (ANI)
