Talk has it that once Wife #7 gets back from rehabilitation, King will be handing her the divorce documents. Southwick was admitted to a facility due to dependency on painkillers she reportedly takes to deal with chronic migraine problems.

While The Enquirer reports that Southwick’s rehab term will be ending around the end of this month, the publication states that it’s possible she’ll be staying in an after-care facility for some time.

According to The Enquirer’s source, King intends to wait until Southwick gets better before he shows her the divorce papers. The insider adds, “But he thinks that will be very soon.”

The couple has long been rumored to be heading for Splitsville. Early last year, they were seen outside a restaurant having a dispute that came to blows. At that time, King denied that the conflict was serious and refuted reports of a troubled marriage.

During that time, he told The Enquirer, “We got into a little tiff that lasted about two seconds. It’s over now. We’re happily married and not getting a divorce.”

However, The Enquirer’s informant says King and Southwick are constantly fighting and that the talk show host has decided to shove her the divorce papers once she gets back from the treatment facility.

King’s spokesman disproves the claims and says the host isn’t getting a divorce.
