Al Gore and Tipper split after 40 years!

[Generic Other]

Who can forget the kiss, that deep smooch Al Gore shared with Tipper onstage at the Democratic National Convention after his nomination for the presidency ten years ago?

And now, just weeks after their 40th wedding anniversary, what appeared to outsiders as a solid marriage and genuine partnership is dissolving. They told friends by e-mail on Tuesday: "This is a very mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration." The news was first reported by Politico.

7. Well they always seemed like a pretty normal couple didn't they?

I wish them both the best. I was surprised because I always think marriages that last that long are for life. :shrug:

5. that is kinda mean

They had a lot of good years as a couple. At least no scandals in the parting. And it sounds amicable.

It's sad to see any marriage end that has lasted for as long as theirs.
