This in Daily Mail today

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2603574/Snooker-legend-Stephen-Hendry-walks-wife-19-years-children-26-year-old-actress.html

Article doesn't speculate on MLC but quite a few of the comments below do!
Ha, loved the quote in the comments below-"the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence;  come November it's brown on both sides".

"Following his retirement? Ok, a sudden need to proof he is not getting old? We all are and no young squeeze can stop it. The thing is, Mandy wanted you before you were a famous millionaire, she wanted you for you."

In a nutshell, the bold part of that comment. It is pretty much it for every guy/woman who leaves their spouse/partner decades down the road and after fame for a younger, usually less known or struggling to be known, model.

He sound like he is midlife transition, I think gwynnie is in crisis! She's had affairs and bangs on about being excited about getting back to dating! The conscious uncoupling is just spin, it's PR.

There is a show here in the US called "True Tori".

It follows Tori Spelling and her husband.  He has recently been caught in an affair, and is being treated for substance abuse.  I watched the first couple of episodes, and it screams MLC.  He is a basketcase. 

Only difference is that he wants his family, and to fix things.  But he still is suffering from depression, OW, alcohol and drugs.

Interesting to see him breakdown and whats in his brain!

Well, well.  What comes around goes around:  Tori was the ow in the break up of McDermott's marriage to Mary Jo Eustace who was a TV chef in Canada--I always thought he'd found a bigger 'star'.  By Eustace's account Tori said some pretty cruel things to her esp. re:  her age & MJ Eustace is truly a beautiful woman, Tori was just young...  Anyway he's a mess but I don't know if we can attribute this to mlc.  And I don't have a scrap of sympathy for Tori--she was the younger affair down the first time around.

Gwynnie has had affairs in all her relationships. She now may, or may not, be in crisis, but she always cheated on boyfriends and partners. Chris probably just had enough of all of Gwynnie manias.

As for Tori, well, she never seemed to be a good person, she cheated on her first husband with current one, who was also cheating on his wife. Those two deserve each other.

And to join to our list of celebrities having issues, Ben Affleck has been forbide to ever again play blackjack in a Vegas Casino. It seems he is a heavy gambler (and that has provoked several marital problems), he knows how to count cards (not that hard to do, really) and was making huge bets when the cards where in his favour and tiny ones when they were in favour of the house. The house does not like to loose and they put an end to his game.

Ah, don't you guys just love when famous people are just like everyone else, except they have millions to blow and their lives are on public display?...  ::) ::) ::)

Who wants to divorce a billionaire?...

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/19/russian-oligarchs-former-wife-wins-record-breaking-divorce-settlement

One would get £2.6bn after 23 years of marriage and 6 of trying to get a divorce settlement.

"Asked why it had taken six years to obtain a judgment, the lawyer replied: "Because the oligarch put up strong resistance." Bonnant said the harsh ruling took into account the fact that Rybolovlev, who, according to Forbes is worth $8.8bn and is the world's 147th richest man, had attempted to conceal the full extent of his assets via offshore ventures."

Sounds familiar?...

Also, the billionaire and his wife meet when they were students. MLC? Maybe or just a billionaire who does not want to part with half of his fortune...
