Lopez has hosted Lopez Tonight on TBS since November of last year. He will be joined by Conan O’Brien on the late-night docket in a few months, as Conan’s new talk show, Conan starts Nov. 8, a day shy of a year since Lopez’s show.
The Lopez’s made the joint announcement Monday, ending 17 years of marriage. George and Ann Lopez have one child, a 15-year-old daughter.
The couple were careful to mention the split won’t hurt their charity, The Lopez Foundation. The charity came to be after George Lopez developed kidney disease and his wife Ann donated one of hers to him. The Lopez Foundation’s goal is to help children who are afflicted with kidney-related ailments and disease.
“George and Ann Lopez have made the decision to end their 17-year marriage. The decision is amicable and by mutual agreement. They remain dedicated parents, and committed partners in business and their philanthropic organization, The Lopez Foundation,” read a statement from the couple to TMZ.com
