Cal and Kelly Ripken divorced

Tough stuff - been through this twice and hopefully never again.

Ed. Note - first marriage 6 years, second 14, third 25 - 45 years of marriage (5 years off for bad behavior ) and I was the culprit in the first two. Cal and I were born on the same day August 24, but different years.

Hard enough to be married and to a regular person.

Can't image, to be married to a celebrity/ballplayer/limelight figure person.

My aunt saw him at a Northeast High School (AA County) lacrosse game a few weeks ago with his girlfriend. Apparently, her son plays lacrosse for South River.

The bloom is off the rose. No more milk commercials. Sorry Cal.

If any of the old rumors were/are true, kind of surprised that it took so long. Hopefully they're both better off.

I'm totally in the dark on this, what old rumors?

According to Snopes, those particular rumors are false.

Yeah,don't think that one is true. I know he did spend some time sleeping on Brady's couch. But like all couples they have ups and downs.

I wonder if losing half of the family wealth (or thereabouts) might affect his ability to buy an MLB team in the future?

His net worth of 75 million, even if she touches ZERO, is not enough to buy a MLB team.

She ain't touching close to ZERO, LOL.

You missed my drift.

My intent was, that Ripken doesn't have the Angelos wealth to buy a baseball team at today's market value, and even Angelos needed help.

No I understand what you meant. You are correct Cal would be a figure head in any ownership of the Orioles backed by someone with much deeper pockets. My reference was coming from someone who was married 27 years and got divorced and knows that HALF plus future alimony means much more then close to ZERO.

He's never going to buy a team.
