I think he and his wife split amicably recently. I could be mistaken. A kick in the gut, this is one of those reality check moments. Losing Benjamin Orr to cancer was eventual as we saw him in public at the end. This is stunning.
General news says they were still together. Of course, general news gives his age as 70-75, which is pretty lazy. If they can’t google a DOB, they might not have noticed if Paulina moved out.
