Whitney Houston Tribute At 'Billboard Music Awards'
'Celebrity Apprentice' Finale: Who Got Hired?
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
Tracy Morgan is headed to splitsville.
The former 'Saturday Night Live' star has confirmed that he is going through proceedings to legally end his marriage to Sabina Morgan his wife of nearly 25 years.
"Me and my wife are going through a divorce, but she is still my friend," the '30 Rock' star told the National Enquirer. "She is my rock and is totally supportive of what I am doing, and that's me having hit rock bottom."
The Bronx-born comic, who currently appears in television commercials for Digiorno pizza, was recently sentenced at Manhattan Criminal Court for a drunk driving bust that occurred last November.
During the sentencing, he was hit with a $1,000 fine and a six-month suspension of his driver's license.
Over the past year, the 38-year-old Bronx-born father of three has been involved in some wild and crazy public behavior that has created much fodder about his alcoholism.
Last spring, he had a media relations meltdown during a morning TV show appearance in El Paso, Texas, where he declared that "somebody's going to get pregnant while I'm in town."
There's no telling if that is the exact reason why his beloved wife, whom he married in 1985, and he is parting ways. But all roads point to that.
"Sabina simply couldn't take it anymore," a 'pal' told the tabloid. "When Tracy drinks, he turns into a booze-fueled, sex-crazed wild man."
Geez Louise.
In any case, Morgan seems to be cleaning up his act -- by attending an alcohol treatment program in New York.
"Being drunk got scary ... I have no intention of screwing up again."

i wish tracy all the luck and success in his recovery process, it's a shame that it had to come to this. 22 yrs wow thats a lot of time to be with the same person. once you cheat on me once you can hang it up hell this aint no free for all and if he did this to his wife, like over and over for 22yrs then she definitly deserves better.

BECAUSE THEY USE THE WORD "NEARLY" 25 years.>>> legally end his marriage to Sabina Morgan his wife of "NEARLY" 25 years >>> NEAR·LY 25 YEARS OR, the word Nearly functions as a adverb, so you could have used the word "almost but not quite or nearly a year or two later or to the least extent not nearly as good as we expected LOL so really if you want to know we can find out but it's not that important really now is it lol he's a comedian,

It's sad to see Tracy and Sabina go their separate ways. I remember Tracy back in the DeWitt Clinton H.S. days and he was reserved to a point but will have a snapping contest with anyone. In high school, I never seen him disrespect a woman, so it's odd to hear him acting like this. If it's true love then they will reconcile. I wish them the best and hope everything works out.

i read another article that states tracy morgan married his high school sweetheart at age 17. this makes a lot more sense. perhaps he meet his wife when he was 13. in another desparate attempt by the media to add a dramatic effect to a story they noted the lenght of marriage to include the time since the couple met. (simply irresponsible!)
