Looks like Larry King and his wife Shawn are calling off their divorce.

He has checked out of the Beverly Hills hotel where he had been residing and moved back home.

"We love our children, we love each other, we love being a family," they told E! in a statement Tuesday. "That is all that matters to us. We owe it to ourselves and our children to continue being dedicated to each other. We want to thank our friends for their loyal love and support -- for being there for us."

King, 76, and his wife, 50, who have been wed for 12½ years, have two boys together

On Apr. 14, they both filed for divorce amid rumors of infidelity on both sides. King's attorney later said they halted the proceedings as "several issues need to be discussed and resolved."

If King and his wife had split, it would have been his eighth divorce.

Pals of the couple previously told UsMagazine.com they hoped the two would reconcile.

"They worship their children," Martha Borchetta told Us. "I am hoping and praying they work it out."

    He probably payed her off, because the alumoni would be to large. Either way they're both old but what's funny is that he still 26 years older than her..haha

    i think it is great that they are staying together. and especially for the sake of their children. good luck to them.

    This story is fishy to me. Something isn't quite right.

    As all married couples do, they had a fight, and he moved out (temporarily, anyway)! But Larry's getting a little too YOUNG for this sort of thing. And looking at her with all her BOTOX adjustments, she dosen't remind me of a Spring Chicken either !

    I don't dislike the man, but she should have never married him in the first place...7 divorces before her should have told her something...Let him go

  • May 12, 2010 - 6:09pm AMEN

    THANK YOU GOD. I am so happy they are calling off the divorce. Next its time for the Gosselins to get back togather

    Two boys? I didn't think the old coot had any reproductive juices left in his carcas. I just can't imagine a roll in the hay with this scare crow. I wonder if he asks Shawn, "Whats your question" before he mounts her. So, they worship their children, gee, I've never heard of parents feeling this way about their children. I guess other parents just kinda like their children. how unsual is this, they worship their children.

    These comments are so hilarious!!

  • May 12, 2010 - 11:25am kayla

    OMG! They're freakin PERVERTS!

  • May 12, 2010 - 10:25am Jon

    I'm glad they're calling the Divorce off!

    Ashley, you are awful judgemental of Katie to be telling her where she will go. Judge not lest you be judged, so I think your place in hell is pretty secure. I thought Katie's comments were funny and probably pretty accurate. I see no possible way this marriage can work unless they've agreed it's an open marriage, because there is no trust there whatsoever. I don't agree in divorce, but these two do NOT love each other and are NOT committed to each other.

    Who would want to have an affair with Larry King?

  • May 12, 2010 - 10:15am Interesting

    Aahh, let's see . . . you can still sleep with my sister, and I'll still have my way with the soccer coach, and you don't have to buy me 10 more houses, and life is good!

  • May 12, 2010 - 9:23am gutsygirl

    He's had a long-term affair with her sister and they are staying together? Thanksgiving Day with the family should be interesting this year.

  • May 12, 2010 - 9:01am Ashley

    @Katie, you're a heartless biotch! Why would you wish him to die? Is he somehow apart of your life? Does he really affect your life? I didn't think so - the devil has a special spot reserved just for you! Enjoy!

    Good for them! Lets hope now they can set a good example of the way a marriage SHOULD be for there children

    She's fifty about like I am 50 (I am 66). The gal's face is wound so tight that anyone in the vicinity when her face explodes may die from flying skin and staples.

    Ha! They both realized that nobody else would want either of them! Plus, at his age, the way HE looks, he should thank his stars that SHE doesn't want to go through with the divorce; why she doesn't is beyond me. But, she's not much to look at (walking skeleton with some skin hanging on her bones). They had NO prenup, she could walk with HALF, it's CA law! What is WRONG with her?! Gasp, she must be a decent person who does want to keep the marriage together for their sons. Go figure. She deserves everything he's got for living with this guy for 12 1/2 years. I don't know how she can even stand to look at him, I can't. The crypt keeper he is. Those poor boys. Does he play catch with them? Anything with them, other than handing over money? That's ALL this old guy can do! Who in the world watches his show?

    Well hopefully, the publicity stunt worked and boosted Larry's ratings for May sweeps.
