"The Bachelor" host Chris Harrison splits from wife after 18 years


 
Not even the host of "The Bachelor" lives happily ever after.
In Touch Weekly reports that Chris Harrison and his wife of 19 years, Gwen Jones, have split. The two have been broken up for a significant amount of time, but are committed to being there for their two young children, a source tells the magazine.
"They are still really close and remain the best of friends," the source says. "They've been taking turns with their kids so they can both see them as much as possible. It has been really amicable, with no other parties involved, and Chris has been a total professional while filming 'The Bachelorette.'"

Harrison, who previously hosted HGTV's "Designers' Challenge," has been a fixture on ABC's '"The Bachelor" franchise since its beginning in 2001. In more than a decade on the air, the show has developed a poor track record for bringing together couples who stay together. Out of 16 seasons of "The Bachelor," and seven seasons of "The Bachelorette," only four couples remain together -- Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum, and Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson remain together. Two of those couples are from seasons airing within the past year. Perhaps Harrison could become the show's next Bachelor.
