After 24 years of marriage, actor Morgan Freeman and his wife Myrna Colley-Lee, are divorcing. Just days after he was involved in a serious car accident, Freeman's business partner says the actor and his wife have called it quits. Mississippi-based attorney Bill Luckett tells Access Hollywood the couple "are involved in a divorce action." Luckett adds that "for legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007."
The couple met in 1976 when both were working off-Broadway. Freeman has four children: Two from a previous marriage, two from previous relationships.
The news comes as Freeman is recovering in a Memphis hospital following his car accident Sunday. His rep said the actor is "doing well" after doctors reconnected nerves and repaired damage to his left arm and hand on Monday. He is expected to be released in a few days.
I've always wondered why couples wait decades before they divorce? So you mean to tell me that -ish didn't start going wrong until you got into your 50's? I'm sure things were bad before that... and I can't stand to hear couples say that they are staying in the relationship for the kids. That only makes your situation worse if you ask me!
