McGreevey finally files for divorce from wife...
It was last summer that former N.J. Gov. Jim McGreevey was featured on the cover of "The Advocate" with his boyfriend, Mark O'Donnell, as well as on "Oprah" and other shows and press. It seems that Friday is the day he finally got around to filing for divorce from his second wife, Dina Matos McGreevey, the mother of his young daughter.
The two have lived apart since November 2004, when McGreevey resigned following a stunning public announcement that he was "a gay American" who had had an affair with a male staffer. "It's a sad day for everyone," McGreevey told The Associated Press Friday. "It is something that had to be done. We are blessed with a wonderful daughter who remains our focus."
McGreevey has been married twice. He has a 14-year-old daughter, Morag, from his first marriage, which also ended in divorce.
The filing says McGreevey and his wife have lived apart for 26 months. "This separation has continued to the present time and there exists no reasonable prospect for reconciliation," according to the divorce complaint.
Gee, ya think?
Matos McGreevey has written a book, "Silent Partner," scheduled for publication May 1.
