Vanessa Williams Single Again

Vanessa Williams and her husband of almost five years, L.A. Laker Rick Fox, have split according to reports.
Despite the fact that Williams, 41, and Fox, 34, have been a seemingly happy couple, they have reportedly been separated for the past 18 months. A source close to Williams says the split is "not entirely surprising, since they’ve spent their entire marriage living on opposite coasts." Williams lives in upstate New York and Fox lives in Los Angeles. The couple married in September 1999 and have a 4-year old daughter named Sasha. Reps for both parties have confirmed that Williams and Fox did split.

It has long been rumored that Fox had a wandering eye and has cheated on Williams continuously throughout their five-year marriage. Recently, it was reported that Fox was spotted flirting with a blonde in a Honolulu bar way back in October during the team’s preseason training camp. The two reportedly spent a lot of time together dancing, hugging, and kissing. An eyewitness said, "Rick closed his eyes as he kissed her full-mouth right on the lips. At one point, it even looked like he had his hands between her legs."

Williams has, according to friends, always turned a blind eye to his indiscretions and would always deny that he was doing anything behind her back. Now that the photos are out, she can’t deny it anymore and she has filed for divorce. Williams was married once before to Ramon Hervey and they have three children. Her divorce from Hervey was a messy battle, so let’s hope her and Fox do not face the same fate.
