He continued: “It’s been a tough time, we’ve been together for 25 years, we’re very different people, we have different philosophies, that’s for sure.” The Guinness World Record holder clarified that infidelity was not the cause of their nearly two-decade marriage, saying:
“It’s not an event, it’s not someone cheating, it’s not chronic gambling or COVID, it’s really just two people who were just so different and had completely different processes and approaches to life and just met somewhere in the middle couldn’t meet. It’s hard, it’s a strange thing. Everyone gets divorced – or a lot of people get divorced… but it was just never in my cards. I guess I didn’t have it as an option. My thing was: whatever doesn’t work, we make it work. But ultimately, if you can’t make it work, it’s probably for the better, so I’m in a pretty good place.
Carolla made headlines in February 2022 when he suggested during an appearance on Fox News that people follow Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because she is “young” and “beautiful.”
