Larry King's Lawyer: 'Divorce Proceeding, No Reconciliation.'
April 16 2010, Published 9:10 a.m. ET
Larry King and his estranged wife Shawn Southwick might be sitting down with a marriage counselor next week, but it won’t be to reconcile.
After photos of the CNN star and his eighth wife emerged, showing them looking happy together at their son’s baseball game, speculation suggested the couple was reconsidering their divorce.
Not as far as King's lawyer knows.
"My most current information is that the divorce is proceeding," attorney Dennis Wasser has said.
"I believe that there is very little chance for reconciliation in this marriage."
King, 76, and Southwick, 50, filed divorce papers on Wednesday after a major bust-up over Southwick's suspicion her husband was having an affair with her sister, Shannon Engemann.

The pair has been married for 12 ½ years.
But according to one well-placed source, next week’s counseling would be part of an effort to maintain stability for their two children, Chance, 11, and Cannon, 9.

"If it happens, the topic would be the kids," the source said.
