Al and Tipper Gore Separting After Forty Years of Marriage
After forty years of marriage, Al and Tipper Gore are separating. No reason is being given for the split, which was announced in an email by the couple. Politico and CNN both confirmed the split with the Gores' rep. Here's what Politico said:
In an "Email from Al and Tipper Gore," the couple said: "We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate.
"This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further."
The e-mail was obtained by POLITICO and confirmed by Kalee Kreider of the office of Al and Tipper Gore. Kreider said there would be no further comment.
The news is quite shocking as the Gores were always considered to be a devoted couple. They may not comment, but eventually the real reason will come out. No one divorces after forty years for no reason at all.
