Larry King

Larry King, renowned for his tenure as the host of “The Larry King Show,” where he interviewed countless celebrities, was humorously noted for marrying quite a few of them. In truth, King was married eight times, albeit to seven different women. This began with his high school sweetheart, Freda Miller, in 1952. His marital journey continued with six additional marriages, including two unions with Playboy Bunny Alene Akins. 

In 1997, King married Shawn Southwick, and a decade later, he quipped that she was “the only wife to have lasted into the two digits,” marking a significant milestone in his series of marriages. Their marriage lasted until 2019. Larry King’s storied life came to an end in 2021 when he passed away at the age of 87.
