Larry King filed for divorce on Wednesday from his seventh wife, Shawn King, the Associated Press reported.
Larry King filed only hours before Shawn King filed her own petition, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for ending their 13-year marriage.
Larry King's spokesperson, Howard Rubenstein, told People magazine, "his major concern is the welfare of his children, and beyond that he's not going to comment about the divorce."
According to the divorce filing, Larry King is seeking shared custody of their two sons, Cannon, 9, and Chance, 11. He is also asking the court to deny his wife any spousal support. Shawn King is seeking sole custody of the children.
Rumors have circulated that an affair between Larry King and his wife's sisters was the reason behind the split, but Shawn King's sister denied this Wednesday.
The couple married in a hospital room in 1997 shortly before Larry King underwent surgery to clear a clogged blood vessel.
