**John Fogerty Divorces Second Wife Julie Kramer Amidst Personal and Professional Strains**
Rock legend John Fogerty has announced his divorce from his second wife, Julie Kramer, citing mounting personal and professional strains as the primary reasons behind the decision. The couple, who married in 1991, had been together for over three decades, but recent challenges have reportedly led to their separation.
Fogerty, known for his influential role as the lead singer and songwriter for Creedence Clearwater Revival, has been candid about the toll that his high-profile career has taken on his personal life. Sources close to the couple reveal that the pressures of Fogerty’s relentless touring schedule, coupled with ongoing legal battles over his musical rights, have strained their relationship.
Julie Kramer, a former model and talent agent, has been a significant support system for Fogerty throughout their marriage. However, insiders suggest that the demands of Fogerty’s career, combined with their differing visions for the future, contributed to growing tensions. The couple’s split comes at a time when Fogerty is also dealing with the complexities of reviving his iconic music catalogue and addressing long-standing disputes with his former record label.
In a statement, Fogerty expressed sadness over the end of his marriage, emphasizing that the decision was made with mutual respect and understanding. “Julie and I have shared many incredible moments, and while this chapter is closing, I deeply value the time we spent together,” Fogerty said. He also noted that the divorce will allow both of them to focus on their personal growth and well-being.
Julie Kramer has not yet commented publicly on the split. The couple’s divorce marks the end of a significant era in Fogerty’s life, as he now looks to navigate this new phase amidst ongoing professional commitments and personal reflection.
