TMZ reports Kristen & Lindsey may be divorcing

[Jondalar]

Why get a divorce when you are in your 70s. They will be dead soon enough anyway and now they are going to die alone. Very sad.

It is very sad, and kind of pointless, especially for him, at 71.
But Kristen is only 51...

And hey I’m 71 and ain’t dying any time soon..

Maybe reaching out to Mick and now they are friends again and talking about maybe doing a project together was too much for her. Kristen was very vocal in her anger over the situation. She might have said enough with Fleetwood Mac.

While I can't imagine Kristen was happy about Lindsey reconnecting with anyone in FM, I doubt that would be enough to trigger a divorce. Likely it's just the usual stuff that happens when marriages don't work out.

And yes, please no fake love or real love with Stevie.

Yeah, I think if the two things (him reconnecting with Mick and his divorce) are related at all, it might be more the other way around-- that is, his marriage was faltering, and maybe they'd already decided to split and were just working it out behind the scenes before any public revelation was made, maybe they were in fact already living apart... and with his kids grown and doing their own stuff, and his wife doing her own stuff, he felt more of the effects of the loss of the band and reached out to Mick to explore future work projects...

This isn't funny. But I do not remember seeing this photo posted on The Ledge.

Saw this on Twitter earlier today. Given the events of the last 3 yrs, it made me a little nauseous, to be honest...

I think things were definitely not ok before his firing/heart attack judging by Kristen's social media. But it appeared things went better during his recovery.
They had probably been separated for a long time and for whatever strange reason decided to make it public the same day of this solo tour. His recent closeness with the band couldn't have helped in any way.

Maybe her overbearing decorations drove him to the brink His next home will be modern minimalist.

Any particular posts you’re thinking of when you say things looked like they weren’t ok before his firing/heart attack?

Maybe he told her she couldn't make any snarky comments on social media.
Maybe he wanted her to have dinner with him with Mick as part of the 'reconnecting' and she couldn't bring herself to swallow that much sh&t.
Maybe she felt like him choosing the band again after she so publicly smacked them down for how they treated him was disrespectful to her.

I was skimming through BuckVie the other night...it all puts his music on there in a new light potentially.... things get tough but Love Is Here to Stay.... and some of his last solo albums... I always found That's the Way That Love Goes very curious and now....

Some very similar thoughts went through my head during my divorce 2 yrs ago. And I'm only 39...

But yeah, this is super unfortunate. I wish them both the best and hope it's amicable, for the entire family's sake.

But it does happen. And not necessarily alone (though probably in this case they will). Mario Vargas Llosa, (Nobel Prize in Literature 2010), got divorced in 2015, almost at 80 yo. He finished his 50 years marriage for Isabel Preysler (Julio Iglesias ex wife).

When I read that, I remember a popular expression: Smallpox at old age!!!
