How many children does AJ Langer have? 'Baywatch' star splits from Charles Courtenay after 18 years of marriage
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Allison Joy Langer, the 49-year-old former 'Baywatch' star, is divorcing Charles Courtenay after 18 years of marriage. The couple share two children, Joscelyn, 16, and Jack, 14.
Langer is most well-known for her portrayal of Caroline Larkin in 'Baywatch' as a teenager. Her other works in the 1990s include the teen drama 'My So-Called Life', and 'The Wonder Years'. She later went on to star in a number of Hollywood movies including 'Escape from LA' and 'Meet The Deedles'.
Who is Charles Courtenay?
Charles Courtenay, 48, is the Earl of Devon who met Langer at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in 2002, while on tour with an English rugby union club.
At the time, the actress had no idea that the British lawyer wearing a kilt was the heir to a spectacular 4,000-acre estate in the West Country, reported the Daily Mail.
Falling in love as soon as they met, the couple married in 2005 at Courtenay's family's seat, the 600-year-old Powderham Castle, near Exeter.
They initially stayed in California so that Langer could continue her acting career, but later move to the United Kingdom, a change that Langer later hinted to be challenging.
The earl has cited "irreconcilable differences" and the "well-being of their wonderful children" as their reason for splitting up.
According to the divorce filing application obtained by the Blast website, the couple actually separated over a month ago on September 30.
Statement on the divorce on behalf of the Earl of Devon
"After much care and consideration, Charles Courtenay, the Earl of Devon, and Countess of Devon, Allison Joy Courtenay, have made the decision to separate and to divorce," begins the statement.
"Charlie would like to express his gratitude for his partnership with AJ and all that they have created together as parents, friends, and partners both in Los Angeles and at Powderham."
"The wellbeing of their wonderful children is the highest priority, as he and AJ focus upon co-parenting in the years ahead," it continues.
"Charlie is grateful for their supportive communities in Devon and in California, and he politely requests that his and his family's privacy is respected at this time."
