Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren Announce the End
Amidst poor job performance and pesky legal squabbles regarding paternity suits with porn stars, Tiger Woods has had a few other things on his mind. His wife, now ex-wife, wanted to waste no time when it came down to settling things up. Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren have announced their divorce is final. And they seemed so happy! They posted this statement on Tiger’s website today:
We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future. While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us. Once we came to the decision that our marriage was at an end, the primary focus of our amicable discussions has been to ensure their future well-being. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them as we adjust to a new family situation, which is why our privacy must be a principal concern.
Tiger and Elin have a three-year-old daughter, Sam, and a 19-month-old son Charlie. It wasn’t immediately clear what new situation the kids would be adjusting to, since Elin’s been living in a separate house in Orlando since approximately mistress #8. Although this makes their breakup official, Tiger and Elin have been pretty much done since November, when the National Enquirer reported he’d been having an affair with Mistress To The STARS!!! Rachel Uchitel. In the ensuing months, Tiger went to a program for sex addiction and played a lot of substandard golf. TMZ reports that the terms of the divorce were settled at the beginning of July with Elin getting $100 million dollars. So she may not be moping after all, even she may not feel bad for her. You can buy a lot of happiness with $100 million dollars. Or at least call that one heckofa silver lining.
