Shawn King

Larry King’s wife Shawn King has reportedly been caught cheating on the CNN ‘Larry King Live’ host.  Shawn King, 48, and Larry King, 74, have been married for 11 years.  Rumors of a troubled marriage began back in July when they were said to be heading to divorce. The National Enquirer is reporting that Shawn Southwick, the mother of two of King’s children, has been having an affair with 29-year-old actor Hector Penate for over a year now. (Note he is also their son’s baseball coach) Larry King has reportedly been made aware of this, and he is absolutely furious, and upset. He cannot believe that it has gone on for a whole year. It was said Shawn Southwick and Hector Penate even had sex Larry King’s desk while he was not at home.

Their illicit affair began to unravel when Shawn’ dependence on the powerful painkiller Vicodin deepened but it didn’t end until a livid Larry confronted Penate, sources divulged.
