Shawn King Steps Out in Los Angeles: A Rare Sight

On June 26, Shawn King, the widow of legendary broadcaster Larry King, made a rare public appearance in Los Angeles, leaving many who spotted her almost unrecognizable. According to an eyewitness who spoke exclusively to Closer, Shawn, now 64, had visible cuts and bruises on her face, looked exhausted, and appeared to be under a great deal of stress. The source remarked, "It was as if she'd aged 10 years." This marks her first public sighting in over three and a half years, making it a significant moment for fans and observers alike.

Shawn's Low Profile Since Larry's Passing

Since Larry King's passing in January 2021 due to complications from sepsis at the age of 87, Shawn has kept a remarkably low profile. She's been out of the public eye, steering clear of cameras and media attention. Her life has been further complicated by legal disputes surrounding Larry's $144 million estate. Shawn has been vocal about her intention to secure a fair share for herself and their two sons, Chance, 25, and Cannon, 24. The original plan was to divide the estate equally among Larry's five surviving children, but Shawn's legal battles have kept her in the spotlight, albeit in a different way.

A Glimpse of Shawn's Appearance

During her recent outing, Shawn was seen moving out of a house, dressed in a large straw hat to protect herself from the California sun, paired with jeans and a striped gray shirt. The straw hat not only shielded her from the heat but also provided some privacy as she navigated her way through personal matters. Despite her efforts to stay out of sight, her presence was noticed, sparking conversations about her current state of mind and well-being.

Shawn and Larry's Complicated Relationship

Shawn and Larry's relationship was anything but straightforward. They initially filed for divorce in 2010 but reconciled shortly after. However, their marriage faced another hurdle in 2019 when Larry filed for divorce again. Despite this, they remained married at the time of Larry's death. Shawn has consistently maintained that she and Larry had reconciled before his passing. She once expressed, "Larry and I, you know, we never finalized our divorce. In my heart, I didn’t think it was really going to happen, and it never did. We were partners in every sense of the way, in business, and in, well, first in our family and then in business." Her words reveal the deep connection she shared with Larry, even amidst their legal challenges.
