Shock Jock Howard Stern Files for Divorce from Wife Beth Ostrosky Stern After 15 Years of Marriage.
In a surprising turn of events, radio personality Howard Stern has filed for divorce from his wife, Beth Ostrosky Stern, after 15 years of marriage. The couple, long seen as a stable fixture in the celebrity world, confirmed the split through their representatives, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The divorce filing has sent shockwaves through both Stern’s fanbase and the media, as the couple had frequently appeared affectionate and happy in public. Stern, known for his controversial and candid on-air persona, had often praised Beth during his radio shows, describing her as the love of his life. The two married in a star-studded ceremony in 2008, with notable guests including Billy Joel and Barbara Walters. Over the years, they became involved in various philanthropic efforts, particularly animal rescue work, and frequently shared glimpses of their personal lives on social media.
In a joint statement released this morning, the couple addressed the divorce, asking for privacy during this difficult time. “We have shared many wonderful moments over the years, but have decided to go our separate ways,” the statement read. “We remain committed to our individual lives, careers, and love for the animals we’ve rescued and cared for together.”
While the news may come as a shock, insiders suggest that the couple had been living increasingly separate lives in recent years. Stern, 70, has hinted in interviews about the challenges of balancing his demanding career with his personal life. Beth, 51, has continued to focus on her work as an animal rights activist and author, often sharing her passion for rescuing animals on social media. Sources close to the couple indicate that the strain of their busy lives and different interests may have contributed to their separation.
Stern’s divorce is his second. He was previously married to Alison Berns for 21 years before they divorced in 2001. Following that split, Stern was open about the difficulties of rebuilding his personal life but eventually found love again with Beth.
Fans of the shock jock are sure to have mixed reactions, as Stern has been a polarizing figure throughout his career. Some may expect Stern to address the divorce on his SiriusXM show, where he is known for speaking openly about his personal experiences. For now, though, the couple remains focused on moving forward separately after more than a decade of shared life.
