SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and his wife, Court TV legal analyst Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom, are filing for divorce after three years of marriage.
In a joint statement issued Wednesday by the mayor's office, the Newsoms cited the strain posed by their high-profile, bicoastal careers as the reason for the split.
"It is with great sadness that we announce today that we have decided to end our marriage. Unfortunately, the demands of our respective careers have made it too difficult for us to continue as a married couple," they wrote. "Over the past 10 years we have developed a tremendous bond of love and respect for each other. That will never change. We will remain close friends."
The couple went public with their news after sharing it with their families and friends on Wednesday, according to Peter Ragone, the mayor's spokesman. Ragone said neither was available to comment beyond their six-line statement, in which they appealed for "understanding and consideration during this difficult time."
Rumors have circulated in San Francisco that the pair's marriage was in trouble almost as long as the year Newsom has been mayor. Newsom, a Democrat, made headlines last year by granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Just after he took office, his wife, a former model and San Francisco assistant district attorney, moved to New York City to pursue her television career.
He probably wants to marry a man.
Thank goodness he had no kids.
Gay....
Not that there's anything wrong with that....
Maybe he is BI?????????
I'm sure there are plenty of "girls" in Sodom...errr...San Francisco that cannot wait to date Newsom.
What better place than San Francisco?
Three whole years.. He really gave it a go there, didn't he. Heck, I've had arguments with my wife that have lasted longer than his marriage.
Perhaps there was more bi- going on than just bicoastal?
But when is his "lover" coming out of the closet so to speak?
You now know why he did it, didn't you?
Is she a babe?
Starter marriage.
Dan Abrams will be happy about this.
Do you think he's a Gay-American????
