 NEW YORK (AP) - The three-year marriage of Salman Rushdie and Padma Lakshmi has ended, their publicists said Monday. "Salman Rushdie has agreed to divorce his wife, Padma Lakshmi, because of her desire to end their marriage," his representative, Jin Auh, said in a statement. "He asks that the media respect his privacy at this difficult time."
Lakshmi's publicist, Christina Papadopoulos, said in a separate statement that Lakshmi "has agreed with her husband-author, Salman Rushdie, to end their marriage."
"After an 8-year relationship including over three years of marriage, Lakshmi regrets that their mutual efforts failed to make the marriage work," the statement said.
