Larry King has filed for divorce for the eighth time.

The 76-year-old CNN talk show host and Shawn Southwick, 50, married back in 1997 and have two sons together. Larry cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, according to TMZ.

In 2007, Shawn joked that she was the only one of Larry‘s wives to have lasted into “the two digits”.
