After 24 years of marriage, Morgan Freeman and his wife, Myrna Colley-Lee are getting divorced. Bill Luckett, Freeman's Mississippi-based attorney and business partner, had told Access Hollywood, “And for legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007.”

Morgan Freeman was in an accident just days before the divorce was confirmed. The actor flipped his car after it went off the road earlier in the weekend. Both him and his passenger, Demaris Meyer, had to be taken out of the care with the help of the Jaws of Life. Meyer has been described as Freeman's friend. Morgan Freeman underwent surgery after suffering from a broken arm, broken elbow, and minor shoulder damage. Currently no charges have been filed against Freeman and an investigation is currently underway for the cause of the accident.

I'm glad Morgan Freeman is doing ok. It's sad though that he is getting divorced though. I do hope it is for the best and not over some stupid reason.
