10. Do you have any information on this?
Or do you just feel like slandering someone?

22. I don't think the LA Times is "making an issue of it."
It's a legitimate news story.

24. I agree, people would wonder why
they are not seeing them at events as a couple.

It needs to be published and then the family can start there new life.

I don't hear anyone making anything of it in Los Angeles other than my Republican "friend."
The Republican glass house should not throw stones.

I reminded my "friend" that GW certainly has marriage problems and she shut up!

3. their last name Villaraigosa is a combination of both of their last names
before marriage.

his last name was Villar and his wife's Raigosa.

7. I always found that to be charming

To me it indicated how in love they must have been.


But, isn't it that 50% of marriages in the US end in divorce?

16. yeah, many marriages end in divorce
Edited on Sun Jun-10-07 12:29 AM by JI7
so this news doesn't seem all that big to me. i don't have any feels about it either way. i know they were happy together for the time they had. i'm pretty sure it's just a case of growing apart rather than any wrong doing on anyones part.

i assume they will keep their last names though, especially since it's the names they gave their children.

6. I do too
I attended a celebration that they hosted about a year ago.

Chaka Kahn was the guest artist.

They made such a beautiful couple, dancing the night away.

So sad!

11. The plastic photo-op mayor
I don't care about his marital woes, I just want a better mayor, instead of this plastic phony crook who never met a photo-op he didn't like.

17. who did you support ?
i think Hahn would have won if he had been truthful about what he was or wanted to do with Bernard Parks. he pretty much lied about wanting to keep him just to win the first time.

20.  I'm SO sorry to hear this...
:(
I hope his political life didn't contribute to this split for them. I know the public life isn't for everyone, and the demands can be great.
