Pearl divorces wife of 25 years

Posted: Thursday May 01, 2008 06:51AM ET

Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl's divorce from his wife, Kim, after 25 years of marriage has been finalized. He filed for divorce in Knox County in September, two days after the couple's 25th anniversary, citing irreconcilable differences. Pearl's attorney, Caesar Stair, declined to comment on the details of the divorce or the custody agreement of the couple's two youngest children. They have four children together, including Steven Pearl, a forward on the Vols squad. Pearl, 47, separated from his 50-year-old wife, Kim, when the coach and the Vols returned from an 11-day trip to Europe that ended Aug. 19. She didn't accompany the team on the trip.

Did they split before or after he took his shirt off on national TV?

What's Pat Summitt's involvement in this? I always thought those two were too chummy for their own good.

Report Offensive Comment

Maybe this has something to do with it...

I tried not to let my mind wonder but......Pat Summitt just got a divorce last month after 27 years of marriage. There is NO way Pearl is banging Summitt, is there? I have never seen Pearl's ex but she has to be an upgrade to Pat.

47 year old multi millionaires don't stay married to 50 year old wives.... can't wait to see the new model he traded up to.

Bruce Pearl is probably bangin' a co-ed. Some young fine thing that can sing Rocky Top while he's ya' know...

Dear Tenneketuckian:

This was news in August when it was first reported. Bye now!

I heard he was banging some drugged out country singer and Jose Canseco's ex wife. But don't hold me to that.

Report Offensive Comment

I heard that he was having an affair with Roger Clemens.

I think that Summit and him could be together VERY SOON

Report Offensive Comment

Summit and Pearl definitely is a possibility but I hate to see a marriage with kids break up like this.

Pat Summitt would wear the pants in that relationship. She has the rings. This is just too much of a coincedence that they are both divorcing at the same time.

I wonder who seduced who?
