We really were going to ignore this whole story, but then it got so big that we figured we’d have to put it in the log for posterity sake.
On Friday, February 4, 2010, (ten days before Valentine’s Day) Tony Hawk reportedly filed for divorce in San Diego, California from his third wife Lhotse Merriam, according to US Magazine and nearly every other celebrity media outlet (except Perez Hilton).
“We have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” the parents of two-year-old Kadence Clover told UsMagazine.com in a joint statement. “We remain deeply committed and loving parents to our daughter, and out of respect for that responsibility we ask that people honor our family’s privacy during this important time of transition. Thank you for your understanding.”
The couple was married for five years. Without going into all the rumors, we’ll just say something we’ve said several times before: we hope Tony eventually finds what he’s looking for because he certainly seems optimistic about the institution of marriage. Plus, by now he probably has something close to a Massey Prenup all dialed and ready to sign.
