Larry King’s wife, Shawn King, is speaking out after the star’s will was revealed.
On Thursday, King’s handwritten will, obtained by several establishments, showed that King requested that his $ 2 million estate be left to his children.
Notably, the document names its now deceased children Chaia and Andy, as well as its remaining children – Larry King, Jr., 59, Cannon, 20 and Chance, 21 – as beneficiaries.
Shawn was not mentioned, and People magazine reported that the handwritten will dated October 17, 2019, two months after he filed for divorce from Shawn. His will was also written several months before the loss of his two adult children Andy, 65, and Chaia, 51.

In the event of my death, on any day after the date above, I want 100% of my funds to be divided equally between my children Andy, Chaia, Larry Jr ., Chance & Cannon, “King reportedly wrote in the document, according to the magazine.

Now, after apparently being left out of her distant husband’s will, Shawn has spoken out, offering a brief statement to Extra.
“We are suffering as a family,” she said. “My boys just lost their dad – they are my priority.”
Shawn added, “I will comment further when appropriate.”

The agency reports that Larry Jr. filed court documents asking to be appointed special administrator for his father’s assets.
The doctors reportedly said that since King and Shawn were getting divorced, she should not be appointed special administrator.
