Couple that inspired 'The Vow' getting divorced after 25 years of marriage as wife opens up about husband's infidelity
Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, the real-life couple and inspiration behind the 2012 romantic drama 'The Vow', have reportedly announced that they are getting divorced after 25 years of marriage. In a conversation with Inside Edition, Krickitt confirmed the heartbreaking news this week.
Without going into any specific details of the matter, Krickitt said she learned her husband had been having an extramarital affair. "Kim was having an affair," the mother-of-two said in the sit-down interview. "I never thought that [this] is the road I would ever go down, because I made a vow for life."
The former lovebirds tied the knot in a dreamy 1993 candlelit ceremony, and only 10 weeks after their wedding, Kim and Krickitt were involved in a life-threatening car crash on Thanksgiving. The new bride was unconscious when help arrived, and she had to be cut out of the car before she was airlifted to the hospital.
