Sources directly connected with Larry King and Shawn Southwick tell TMZ Shawn believes Larry has been having an affair with her sister for 5 years ... and the cover was blown when Shawn checked his Visa statement.
One source intimately familiar with the situation tells us Larry bought wildly expensive gifts for Shannon Engemann, including a $160,000 car and "tons of gifts from Cartier." We're told Larry used his credit card to purchase many of the gifts. The credit card bills were paid by Larry's business manager.
We're told Shawn started looking at the statements, saw a Cartier diamond necklace, and then told a friend, "He never gave me a diamond necklace."
So began 5 years of never-ending drama. Friends tell TMZ there were numerous instances where the couple was fighting, sometimes physically. One friend recalls an incident outside of Nate 'n Al in Beverly Hills a year and a half ago where the couple was "punching each other."
As we first reported, several years ago Larry attempted to save their marriage by transferring 3 homes -- including the one in Beverly Hills -- into Shawn's name alone, to show his commitment to the marriage.
Friends tell TMZ Shawn went into a "deep depression" for a long time and literally wouldn't leave the house.
Ironically, in the last two weeks, friends felt things were "calming down" between Larry and Shawn.

Larry= SICKO. And CNN sucks now, get Crossfire back *******s. And Capital Gang!
This is NOT news TMZ!! Enquirer already broke this affair weeks ago!! It's just like John Edwards and Tiger's situation. It's always a matter of time before the admit it!
Enquirer is always the first to know MAJOR news!!
The N.E. should have been given a Pulitzer - shame on the committee for over-looking them!! Every public figure fears them, as they should!!
Great investigative journalism - that have more creditability than any other publication out there!! TMZ is lucky that N.E. doesn't do online - you guys would be basic!!
Eye Opener... you're on the NE payroll, directly or indirectly, you're too obvious bozo.
Maybe if Shawn had gone with Larry to that downtown LA hotel and hung her ass out for LK to bang instead of the little league coach, LK wouldnt have had to bang the sister....
But if you ask me, they both played LK and got it all out of him....one way or another.
jesus, hes ugly and old she young and ok looking, so you do the maths...would she look at him if he wasnt famous....would she ****...gold digging whore..and all them old ugly guys with dolly birds need a reality check....YOU LOOK STUPID

Okay people she CAME from money she doesn't need him or his money,and she is stunning, now lets move on to what dirt bags her sister and Larry are.
Punching each other?...there is something really odd about this story.
Oh Ann(#4), I could only wish!
But you know am right - so stop being a pain and go get your copy!!
And please don't forget to check out Mike Walker's column, that's always been, to me, the juiciest part of the gossip steak I call The National Enquirer!!
SSSSSSSSSSSSMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOCH - Love you Mike - you smart HETEROSEXUAL man you! (wink)
"Pulitzer Prize for Enquirer".....right Larry??
Larry should just stay single now. Seven marriages....sheesh.....
Larry King? Women actually fighting over Larry King? The man has no redeeming physical qualities whatsoever! Looks like a garden scarecrow.
There must be some reason that Shawn, a Mormon, has a drug problem.
What do you expect when you marry someone who is on his 8th marriage?
