Al and Tipper Gore Kiss

Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper are calling it splits after 40-years of marriage. So what went wrong with overly affectionate couple?

The Gores say it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.”

The Gores were married on May 19th, 1970. The split comes as a surprise to many after sentiments like these from Al:

[Tipper is] “someone I’ve loved with my whole heart since the night of my high school senior prom.”

[I want to thank] “with all my heart my children and grandchildren, and especially my beloved partner in life, Tipper.”

The Gores have four adult kids, Karenna, Kristin, Sarah and Albert III.

Perhaps it was that weedeater Al gave Tipper for her birthday that one year.

Perhaps it was this kiss…

In any case, we wish you the best Al and Tipper!
