Larry King’s sixth and current wife Shawn, 48, carried on a torrid affair for a year with the 29 year-old baseball instructor to the couple’s eight and nine year-old sons. The National Enquirer has the dirt, which they say comes from multiple sources who have independently confirmed the details. The way they tell it, Shawn was a sex-craved housewife who slept with her son’s young coach all over the mansion she shared with Larry. The two stopped seeing each other once Larry confronted the guy, and Shawn ended up going to rehab for a treatment for a prescription painkiller addiction this summer. There were rumors at the time that Larry planned to dump Shawn when she returned from rehab, but the 74 year-old talkshow host has forgiven his wife’s affair and plans to stay with her.
Larry King has caught his wife cheating with their young sons’ baseball coach, the Enquirer has learned exclusively.
Willowy blonde beauty Shawn King, 48, carried on a year-long extramarital affair right under Larry’s nose with hunky 29-year-old Hector Penate, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the intimate relationship.
The Enquirer’s blockbuster investigation has also uncovered that Shawn and Hector were so brazen, they made love on the desk in 74 year-old Larry’s home office!
Shawn even paraded through Beverly Hills holding hands with her lover, according to insiders. Their illicit liaison began to unravel when Shawn’s dependency on the powerful painkiller Vicodin deepened, but it didn’t end until the CNN talk-show host confronted Penate, sources say.
Larry… is heartbroken over his wife’s cheating, but he’s chosen not to end their 11-year marriage, insiders say.
“I truly love my wife and I stand squarely behind her and support her,” Larry told The Enquirer through his spokesman Howard Rubenstein.
Penate no longer coaches the couple’s two boys, said Rubenstein and declared: “Shawn adamantly denies the allegations that she had an affair with the sports instructor.”
But Shawn’s denial is contradicted by multiple sources who, during a period of months, provided the Enquirer with key evidence about the love affair.
When contacted by The Enquirer, Penate did not deny the affair, adding: “I’d love to be able to talk to you, but I can’t.”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, November 17, 2008]
The Enquirer has more salacious details, including the story of how Shawn supposedly pursued coach Hector and bought him gifts of jewelry and sent him multiple text messages a day. She is even said to have become threatening when Hector tried to call it off. Their affair ended for good when Larry confronted Hector about six months ago and told him he knew what was going on and had to fire him. Hector claimed that it was Shawn who came on to him, while Shawn had been able to talk to Larry first and convince him that she was seduced by Hector.
You wonder why one spouse would stay with the other after they had a year-long affair. It doesn’t matter who seduced whom because it takes two. Maybe Larry figures he’s getting on in years and he may as well stick with the mother of his youngest children. He’s been married seven times to six different women, it’s not like he has a great track record either.

Yeah and if SHE’s 48…I’m 21 today!! PLEAZZZE!!
-
I feel bad for thinking what did he expect?
-
If I was married to a toad like Larry Konigsberg, I’d cheat on him too. Hey, I’d still get half his money!
-
Seriously, can you blame her? It must get pretty old sleeping next to him in a casket every night.
-
she’s a whacked out exhibitionist mormon druggie ano, and he ain’t no prize either. they both are hideously ugh, and deserve each other perfectly. Larry’s an old absent minded goat who is obviously quite desperate, and she wants those kabillions when he heads out to pasture. it’s all just so transparent and superficial that it makes me gag. viagra and vicodin can only go so far toward making a pretense-filled marriage work.
-
uhhh ofcourse look @ him
*nauseas*
-
Could someone please feed Larry & Shawn before their necks are too weak to hold up their huge noggins?
-
Creepiest family ever. Look for those kids at the top of your nearest clocktower very soon. Dad’s in diapers, mom’s a drugged out slut. Oy!
-
Just look at him! I mean, she’s no prize herself, but she is so way above him in appearance. He looks like some cadaver they propped up to take the picture! I might not condone affairs, but in this case I certainly understand it!
-
OMG — Larry looks like the Crypt Keeper.
-
I’m thinking Hugh Hefner and Holly Madison. Hm!!!!
-
They deserve eaach other.
-
LOLOLOL-Azurea! Right on!
-
Sag, you’re It
-
She and her 29 year-old lover have something in common: They’ve both had sex with old rich people.
-
he is a praying mantis! definitely rich, but soooo not attractive & i am sure he wasnt even when he was young…no excuse to cheat though. she is deathly thin looking in that top pic. does he take away her appetite?
-
Of course she did, look at Larry King’s heart attack history. How much schtumpfing do you really think he’s capable of?
-
Of course he took her back. He’s had too many marriages and is too old to start up with someone again. Kind of surprising about her though - she didn’t project the kind of image that included hot monkey “affair” sex. Larry’s okay really - even Shawn said he’s a very good dad to those boys and that’s the most important thing really.
-
C’mon, CB, where’s the pix of the “hot stud” boyfriend?
-
I wonder how many of his ex-wives are laughing their a&&es off……
-
disrespect.
-
Those poor, poor boys. They’re old enough to read this story in the rags, which will send them straight into therapy, I’m sure. Sad for them.
-
Ummm, are we supposed to be shocked?
-
I’ll be completely honest: I would be prowling for 16 year old boys if I had to go home to Larry every night.
This being said, I wouldn’t marry Larry King. Ever. If the money is THAT appealing, you need to put the goodies on ice until you become a widow.
-
Can you blame her? Would you wanna get it on with the crypt keeper?
-
larry said no matter wat, he ll go ahead lovin her, mayb a kind of afraid to loose her … poor larry.
-
I’m sure she was attracted by Larry King’s animal magnetism, not his money. Poor kids. How many others has he spawned?
-
i am not sure what larry saw in shawn to begin with, she comes off as being kind of superficial, whereas larry seems down to earth, but i admit she is attractive. i would think someone like diane sawyer would be a better match for larry, hey that,s an idea diane sawyer and larry king, a perfect affair!!!!!
-
Wouldn’t you if you were married to such an old man? What could the initial attraction of Larry King have been? Money perhaps?
-
i can help shawn..
she s a good woman..
