Joe Scarborough QUIET DIVORCE ... After 12-Year Marriage

Joe Scarborough -- host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" -- quietly divorced his wife of 12 years back in January ... TMZ has learned.

The 50-year-old former Florida congressman filed the divorce docs in Connecticut back in September 2012 ... seeking to end his marriage to Susan Waren, a former aide to FL Gov. Jeb Bush. The two were married in 2001.

The former couple have 2 minor children together -- a 10-year-old and a 5-year-old.

There have been rumors for years that Scarborough has a thing for his "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski (who is married btw). And the sexual tension between the two is so apparent, they addressed it during a media event in 2009 ... denying having any sort of romantic feelings for each other.

personal and private life. He didn't give a crap about Bill's minor daughter when he was part of Newtie's Wrecking Crew in the House.

Bill Clinton--who is, despite his "hard dog to keep on the porch" ways, still in his FIRST marriage.

Old Joey Scar wrapped up his SECOND marriage at the start of the year. Gee, one more and he'll be right up there with his hero Newtie. Right now he's on a par with his other hero, John McCain.

He's a public figure--one who lives in a glass house and who has made his LIVING throwing stones--at Bill Clinton, at Anthony Weiner, at Governor Spitzer, etc.

I simply can't shed a tear for him and his need for "privacy" and bravo to TMZ for calling this public figure's divorce to the public's attention. Don't hang out with a "Family Values" crowd and play the Do As I Say/Not as I Do game.

FWIW, TMZ is a GREAT source for EVERYTHING. They don't lie, they're accurate, they rely on source materials--like actual court documents, photographs, videos and first-person reports--and the outfit is owned by lawyers. They're the MOST accurate of all the "gossip" outlets in Hollywood.

Based only upon my observations of the two, I would say that they have nothing in common. Can you picture Mika wearing glasses with lenses the size of Coke Bottle bottoms? LOL. Now try and imagine what their kids would look like.

sometimes disgusting people find themselves lost in the eyes of someone
nearby and believe they need to be together.

get $30,000 a month for five years and then it decreases to 25,000. He will pay no alimony and she gets $150,000 lump sum. Weird is that she had to sign in the decree that she attests to the fact that he never cheated. It seems he doth protest too much.

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough earns $99,038 PER WEEK from his show -- this according to divorce docs obtained by TMZ -- but the crazier part ... his soon-to-be ex-wife will only see a tiny fraction of it.

We broke the story ... the 50-year-old former Florida congressman quietly filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years Susan Waren back in September 2012. They have 2 minor kids (a 10-year-old and a 5-year-old).

But according to the divorce docs, Joe's pretty much making off like a bandit. For starters, the divorce docs state Joe will NOT be paying child support, and what his alimony amounts to is a morsel of his enormous salary.

According to the docs, Joe will fork over $30,000 per month for 5 years, then $25,000 per month for 2 years. Joe also gave her a lump sum of $150k, and he's paying the mortgage on their Connecticut home, and the kids' schooling.

If that is still the case, then he is saving a bunch of money and she'll be paying the tax bill on what he gives her. it may be worth it to her,tho, just to get rid of the guy, yet still have a comfortable lifestyle and support for their kids...

They will share joint custody of their kids, 10-years-old and 5-years-old, and are currently still living together with them. But there are rules for that, too. When they’re both in the Connecticut home, they cannot enter each others’ bedroom unless there’s an emergency with one of their children. After 7 PM, they’re each banned from the others side of the house, as well.
