After three years of marriage, Sherri Shepherd and husband Lamar Sally are reportedly separating. The former lovebirds met through mutual friend Niecy Nash.
Shepherd, who co-hosts The View, is rumored to have become fed up with Sally’s broken promises of a successful career. Sally is an award winning TV writer whose latest scripts to HBO were not picked up.
Rumors of cheating have also been cited as a reason for the separation. Since the beginning of the estranged couple’s marriage, tabloids reported Sally’s affair with a close family friend of Shepherd’s after the wedding. It was reported the woman was also a part of Shepherd’s wedding party.

A source close to Shepherd revealed she kicked Sally out of the house and has been refusing to speak with him. Sally reportedly filed papers on May 2 in Los Angeles.
The couple, who wed after one year of dating, tried conceiving a baby during the marriage, but due to Shepherd’s fertility issues the couple did not conceive. Shepherd has a son, Jeffrey, with ex-husband of eight years Jeffrey Tarpley. Shepherd, who also hosts The Newlywed Game on BounceTV, divorced Tarpley in 2009 after he had an affair.
Sally is currently in Los Angeles, while Shepherd is in New York filming The View. Neither Shepherd nor Sally have commented publicly about the status of their relationship, although Sally tweeted the following late Thursday evening:
Loving life right now. It’s all good.
