Breakup News! CNN President Jeff Zucker Splits From Wife
Jan. 23 2018, Published 7:37 p.m. ET
CNN head honcho Jeff Zucker is separating from his wife, Caryn, after 21 years of marriage, RadarOnline.com has learned.
In a joint statement, the couple said, “Together, we have made the difficult decision to separate, but do so as friends committed to our kids. They remain our sole focus.”
The couple met at NBC, where Jeff was executive producer of the Today show, and Caryn was a supervisor at Saturday Night Live.
They married in 1996 and have four children — three boys and one girl.
Friends tell the New York Post the relationship has been deteriorating for a decade now, as the two simply “grew apart.”
“It can’t be easy being married to Jeff,” one friend told the paper. “He is a workaholic, and is obsessed with news, and obsessed with being the best.
“Caryn is much more laid back and social, spends a lot of time with their kids and enjoys being part of the Upper East Side social circuit.”
