Rush Limbaugh and wife split up

LOS ANGELES, June 11 (UPI) -- Florida-based radio show host Rush Limbaugh and his wife, Marta, have decided to end their 10-year marriage, the third for each of them.

A statement from the popular conservative pontificator's Los Angeles publicists Friday said that the couple had separated and would seek an amicable resolution.

The reasons for the split were not revealed, although Limbaugh experienced a rough personal period last year when he became hooked on prescription pain killers.

Limbaugh married his wife, a former Jacksonville aerobics instructor, in 1994 in a ceremony at the Virginia home of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. In 1996 the couple moved into a mansion in West Palm Beach, Fla., estimated to be worth $30 million.

Limbaugh and his wife, each of whom has been married three times, marked their 10th wedding anniversary on May 27.
