Sunday, August 11, 2024 - The wife of a controversial televangelist Benny Hinn has filed for divorce for a second time after nearly a decade of marriage.
Benny Hinn and his wife, Suzanne, lived in separate homes
more than 60 miles apart when the filing was made at the Hillsborough County
Court in Tampa, Florida, late last month.
Court records show that Benny Hinn was living at an address
in Palm Coast, while Suzanne listed a home in Longwood, valued at more than $1
million.
It's unclear how long the couple had been living apart, however, this isn't the
first time Suzanne served her husband with divorce papers.
Suzanne first filed for divorce in February 2010 at the Orange County Superior
Court in California, citing irreconcilable differences after 30 years of
marriage.
The couple first tied the knot on August 4, 1979, and share four children.
In the summer of 2010, Benny Hinn was infamously snapped
leaving a hotel room with fellow televangelist Paula White.
At the time, it was reported that Hinn and White spent three nights at a
five-star hotel that was booked under an alias.
Hinn would later acknowledge an "inappropriate
relationship" with White and he and Suzanne would eventually divorce,
however, in 2012, they publicly announced that they had reconciled.
He blamed the couple's divorce on Suzanne's addiction to
prescription drugs.
"Suzanne started taking certain prescription medications to help her cope
with some of her personal struggles. She became dependent on those for nearly
15 years, and those medications made her behave erratically at times,"
Hinn wrote in a statement at the time.
"As her husband, I did not know the extent of her
reliance on these medications, nor did I fully understand just how much harm
they were causing to her, physically and emotionally,’’ he added.
Hinn also said that he had spent too much time on the
ministry and not enough with his family.
The renowned televangelist visited Kenya earlier this year
for a hyped crusade organized by First Lady Rachel Ruto.
He laid his hands on First Daughter Charlene Ruto and prayed
for her to get a husband.
