SHARE ‘Shark Tank’s’ Robert Herjavec headed to divorce court

Robert Herjavec, the multi-millionaire business mogul who has gained popular culture fame on the “Shark Tank” show, is divorcing his wife Diane Plese. The couple, who have been separated for some time, have been married since 1990 and are the parents of three children.

In a statement, Herjavec said, “Human relationships are so difficult. I wish nothing but love and peace for our family as we move forward from this.”

Along with his “Shark Tank” visibility, Herjavec will be seen by an even bigger audience, once he showcases his (hopefully) fancy footwork on the upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars” — partnered with professional dancer Kym Johnson.

Herjavec met his wife when she was his optometrist. His fortune has been built due to his involvement in a series of high-tech companies. His net worth has been estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

A dance party at heart, Joffrey Ballet's 'Midsummer Night's Dream' is a joyous celebration
Despite its familiar-seeming title, this piece has no connection with Shakespeare. Instead, it goes its own distinctive direction, paying homage to the summer solstice and the centuries-old Scandinavian Midsummer holiday.
