According to E! News, the high-profile marriage between Star Jones and Al Reynolds has finally ended. On March 26, Jones turned the uncontested sealed divorce papers in to the New York Supreme Court.  
  
The three and one half year marriage between the former *View* co-host and 39-year-old Reynolds was marked with controversy from the start. Jones blames herself for letting the media into their marriage. She tells *Entertainment Tonight*, "Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life."  
  
From the start, there were allegations of trouble within the marriage after their publicized, 500-guest ceremony at Saint Bartholomew's Church in New York City in 2004. Guests included other *View* co-hosts, alongside A-List celebrities such as Kim Cattrall, Donald Trump, and current presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, already starting whispers to how long the marriage would last.  
  
Pictures spread to the Internet recently of Jones and Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade, but the rumors of an affair have not been confirmed, and reasons for the divorce remain a mystery. Jones intends to learn from her mistakes and take time alone to recover, as she tells *Entertainment Tonight*. "The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."
