Al Gore’s surprising split from wife Tipper was prompted by an affair he was having with Larry David’s environmental activist wife, Star magazine reports. The tabloid weekly says the environment-friendly ex-veep and the comedian’s ex have been involved for two years. Laurie David is an outspoken Hollywood environmentalist and a trustee of the Natural Resources Defense Council who makes frequent appearances at political events. She co-produced the Academy Award winning documentary about Gore and his campaign against global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth.” “Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers,” Star quotes an unnamed insider as saying. “It couldn’t be avoided.” David divorced her husband, the “Seinfeld” creator and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star, in 2007 amid reports that she was cheating with the married caretaker of their Martha’s Vineyard summer home. Meanwhile, the National Enquirer, which blew the lid off John Edwards stepping out while he was running for president, blamed Tipper Gore’s unfounded suspicions of affairs. “Tipper’s jealousy was putting stress on their marriage,” the National Enquirer quotes an unnamed insider as saying. “Al finally told her their relationship was over because he couldn’t stand her jealous rages anymore.” The tabloid weekly said there was no proof the former veep and green idol ever cheated on Tipper, but she suspected him constantly. “I think she’s always believed there was something going on between Al and many of the women in his life,” the unnamed insider is quoted as saying. Al, 62, and Tipper, 61, were high school sweethearts. Their split, announced two weeks ago, shocked many Gore associates who had always thought the marriage one of the most solid in politics.
