Larry King and his wife Shawn Southwick have had second thoughts.
King, 76, and his wife, 50, who have been wed for 13 years, are calling off their divorce.
The CNN talk-show host has checked out of the Beverly Hills hotel where he had been residing and moved back home, Us Weekly reports.
"We love our children, we love each other, we love being a family," they told E! in a statement. "That is all that matters to us. We owe it to ourselves and our children to continue being dedicated to each other. We want to thank our friends for their loyal love and support - for being there for us."
The couple have two boys, Chance, 11 and Cannon, 9.
And basically, it all boils down to them. Shawn's mother Jerri Engemann told Radar Online that the two boys mean "everything" to the couple. "Those little boys are everything to them," Engemann said. "Larry adores them, Shawn adores them - and they're just fine and they're going to be fine."
And she added: "I want everybody to be happy. I love everyone of my family, including Larry, I love him very much. I know him and he's a good man."
On Apr. 14, King and Southwick both filed for divorce amid rumors of infidelity on both sides. King was said to be having an affair with Southwick's sister, while Southwick was rumored to be involved with their son's Little League coach. King's attorney later said they stopped the proceedings because "several issues needed to be discussed and resolved."
Southwick is King's seventh wife; if they had been divorced, it would have been King's eighth divorce - he split with the same woman twice.
