Larry King divorce: King and Shawn Southwick second thoughts, again

CNN's Larry King has been the focus of a possible divorce from his wife Shawn Southwick. While reports have Shawn Southwick fuming over King's alleged gift-buying for her sister, and today a new TMZ blog entry explains the two are reconsidering the divorce idea, it's clear they've had a stormy relationship.

In 2008, the blog appropriately named The Dailystab reported that Shawn Southwick King was rumored to have been caught cheating on Larry King with a then-29-year old actor named Hector Penate; Shawn was 48 and Larry King 74 at the time, and were married for 11 years.

Hector Penate, described as a B-list actor by the National Enquirer, was their son's baseball coach at the time.

(A momentary aside; how's that for a sex scandal that's covered the age spectrum? So cool. 29, 48, 74. Young. Middle. Old. Nice.)

The National Enquirer claims that Hector Penate took a stab at Shawn King on Larry King's desk at their Beverly Hills home. The relationship was said to have gone on for a year. King was fuming, and divorce rumors were in the air but King reportedly confronted Penate.

So both Larry King and Shawn Southwick King have sadly faced allegations that one was cheating on the other. Maybe the two should take a time out from other people and focus on each other. For King, who's been with her for 13 years now, the seventh marriage should be the charm, yeah?

Stay tuned.
