In Touch Exclusive Interview:
Inside Larry King & Shawn Southwick's twisted relationship

LarryKing0421.jpg “We had sex in Larry’s bed — a lot. I felt like it was my house,” Shawn Southwick’s lover, Hector Penate, tells In Touch exclusively.

After 13 years together, Larry King and Shawn Southwick are reportedly considering a divorce after Larry had an alleged affair with Shawn’s younger sister, Shannon Engemann, and Shawn slept with their kids’ baseball coach for a year and tried to have a baby with her lover through in vitro fertilization. In an exclusive interview with In Touch, the baseball coach, Hector Penate says Larry knew about their steamy trysts but didn’t even care because he was so in love with Shannon. “I still think to this day that Larry is in love with Shawn’s sister,” he explains.

Hector admits that he quickly fell “in love” with Shawn after they met in 2007. Two-and-a-half weeks later, they started sleeping together, although Shawn has denied the affair with Hector. “Larry was in New Hampshire and I was training the kids,” Hector reveals to In Touch. “Then she made a couple of hints to me that she was ready to go. We were in the car and we just started kissing.” From there, says Hector, the two spent more and more time together — and they even vacationed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, together with her sons Chance and Cannon. Their physical chemistry was intense, Hector adds: “We had sex in Larry’s bed — a lot. I felt like it was my house.” Shawn also bought Hector extravagant presents. “She paid my rent, she bought me clothes and a BMW 7 Series.” But the biggest gift she almost gave him? A baby. “She wanted to have a little girl with me. She was trying to fertilize her eggs to do that.” If that’s not strange enough, Larry co-signed Hector’s Studio City, Calif., apartment. “She controlled him,” he says. “He just sat there and signed it.”

And even though Larry is approaching 80, Hector says that the newsman has an active libido and makes this shocking claim: “He’s a [sex] freak,” Hector says, adding that he believes Larry was sleeping with both Shawn and Shannon.

Demi Moore: Rock Bottom
It could have been a happy night for Demi Moore — a chance to put the most painful and humiliating period of her life behind her, even if just for a few hours. But while Demi had been nominated for a Directors Guild award for co-directing the Lifetime special Five, she spent the January 28 ceremony in hiding as she coped with the fallout from a drug incident that landed her in the hospital five days earlier. “She’s literally hiding in shame over how far she has fallen,” a pal shares.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie On The Rocks?
Could Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. be the next in a long list of celebrity couples heading for divorce? Although their rep denies the story, the duo, who have managed to remain largely out of the spotlight throughout their relationship, raised eyebrows recently when Sarah, 34, walked the Golden Globes red carpet solo — and without her enormous diamond engagement ring.

Tabatha Coffey’s Tough Love
“Look, I know it’s like boot camp when I come in,” says Tabatha Takes Over star Tabatha Coffey with a twinkle in her eye and a smile so broad that fans of her hit show might not even recognize her. The Bravo star admits with a giggle that channeling her inner drill sergeant is often the only way to get the job done.

Seal’s Ex: Don’t Take Him Back
The song that Seal chose for his performance on a recent episode of Ellen — Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” — seemed specifically designed to make his estranged wife, Heidi Klum, reconsider her decision to end their marriage. While Seal may have good reason to endear himself to Heidi — who has legions of fans and pulled in a whopping $20 million last year — former supermodel Tatjana Patitz, 45, maintains that the singer is a selfish, immature man who is prone to frightening rages. “He is not a nice person,” Tatjana, who dated Seal for nearly a year, tells In Touch.
