Captian and Tennille File for Divorce


Love won't keep them together. 70s singing duo Captain and Tennille file for divorce.
Say it ain't so ... there's no Muskrat Love left for Captain & Tennille ... they're getting divorced ... and the Captain tells TMZ he didn't see it coming.
Toni (Tennille) filed legal docs in Arizona, claiming the marriage was "irretrievably broken." They've been married for 39 years.
If you don't know ... you should. They had a string of hits in the 70s, including "Love Will Keep Us Together," "Muskrat Love" and "Do that to Me One More Time."
They were discovered by Neil Sedaka at The SmokeHouse restaurant in Burbank, near NBC.
Daryl Dragon (The Captain) is 71. Yeah, it's Dragon.
Daryl tells TMZ ... "I don't know why she filed. I gotta figure it out for myself first." He also said they're still living together in the same house.
According to the divorce docs, obtained by TMZ, there's special mention about health insurance coverage, and that seems relevant, because in 2009 Toni blogged that Daryl had been diagnosed with Parkinson's. In 2011 Toni updated the message, saying Daryl's tremors were so bad he was embarrassed to go out in public ... to restaurants, the movies, etc.
Here's what's unclear -- whether it's possible Toni really filed for health insurance reasons ... whether his coverage might be better if they were divorced.
The blog has an update on Jan 16, 2014, saying "The Captain & Tennille appeared to the public as them being the ideal model for a 'rock-solid' married pair. But almost all people naturally evolve over time, & sometimes hidden feelings start to be uncovered ..."
It's a sad day for muskrats.

Theyve been together for almost 4 decades. They both are in the sunset of their lives. What really is the point of divorcing NOW?

LMFBAO that made me howl, yeah dude does have scary doll baby eyes lol anyhoo I"m sorry to hear that, they made some good classic music. its sad if they have to divorce over health insurance issues? insurance issues dealing with a terminal illness can crush any nest egg and push couple's to the brink. I hope they find a solutions hell reach out to all the rich entertainment folks. they have made some great music that pleased a lot of people, a benefit on their behalf should raise enough cash. now is not the time for pride and she should accept Parkinson is a slow death and not try to have all these invasive medical procedures to prolong life. their is dignity in death if he's that far along. I wish them well.

WTF??!!!!!! said...

Muskrat Love is divorcing....DAYUM! I think she's doing it so he can get the health coverage he needs, like the article suggests. Can't believe after being married that long, Tenille would leave him when he's sick. You don't do that after 39 yrs together. That's the old generation love that withstands time. People are selfish & don't last that long anymore.
