I've had two terrific relationships, but both ended in marriage.

I didn't get married to get divorced.

The decisions that Ellen made on her show were between her and her producers. I supported her decisions. I was there to hug her when she got home.

It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird.

Divorce was miserable, as it always is, and we divorce for the same reasons we marry.

And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn't be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother's prayers had anything to do with me marrying a man, forget it.

I got married, other people went off. We had sort of another public-we were our entire readership for many years, and we were very excited by each other.

My second wife Bonnie Owens and I worked together after we divorced for a period of maybe 20 years. And I managed to stay friends with another wife. And then there's one that I don't mess with. Everybody's got one of those.

Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.

At a certain point in my personal life, I went through a divorce and lost some people close to me.
