Ed Rendell Splits With Wife Of Nearly 40 Years
HARRISBURG, Pa. (CBS) - In an email sent to friends on Monday, former Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell announced that he and his wife, U.S. District Court Judge Marjorie Rendell, will be living separately now that they have left the governor's mansion.

They say that this was a difficult decision, but they've decided to go this route. They indicate they will remain friends and they will also remain active in the communities — sometimes appearing places together, sometimes separately.
In that regard, the email tells friends not to hesitate to invite them both to social events.
Rendell, the 45th governor of Pennsylvania, was succeeded by Republican Tom Corbett.
