Larry King’s wife, Shawn King, speaks out after the late star’s will was revealed.
On Thursday, King’s handwritten will, obtained through several outlets, showed that King had requested that his $ 2 million estate be left to his children.
The document especially mentions his now deceased children Chaia and Andy, as well as his surviving children – Larry King, Jr. (59), Cannon (20) and Chance (21) – as beneficiaries.
Shawn was not named, and People magazine reported that the handwritten will was dated October 17, 2019, two months after he filed for a divorce from Shawn. His will was also written a few months before the loss of his two adult children Andy (65) and Chaia (51).
