New
York,
(ANI):
Hector
Penate,
a
former
Little
League
coach
to
the
sons
of
Larry
King,
claims
to
have
had
a
fling
with
the
CNN
star's
estranged
wife
Shawn
Southwick.
He
added
that
King
didn't
seem
to
care
much
about
the
affair
since
he
was
having
an
affair
with
Southwick's
sister,
Shannon
Engemann.
"I
still
think
to
this
day
that
Larry
is
in
love
with
Shawn's
sister," the
New
York
Post
quoted
Penate,
as
telling
In
Touch
mag.
Penate,
31,
says
he
and
Southwick,
50,
started
having
sex
two-and-a-half
weeks
after
they
met
in
2007,
when
he
was
the
baseball
coach
for
the
pair's
sons,
Chance,
11,
and
Cannon,
9.
He
said:
"We
had
sex
in
Larry's
bed
--
a
lot.
"I
had
sex
with
Shawn
while
Larry
was
on
TV.
Our
sex
life
was
real
good."
According
to
Penate,
Southwick
wanted
to
get
pregnant
with
his
child.
He
said:
"She
was
trying
to
fertilize
her
eggs
to
do
that."
Penate
claims
Southwick
showered
him
with
gifts,
including
a
BMW
7
Series,
and
even
paid
his
rent.
Moreover,
Southwick
asked
King
to
co-sign
the
lease
for
Penate's
Studio
City,
Calif.,
apartment,
says
Penate.
Penate
said:
"She
controlled
him."He
just
sat
there
and
signed
it."
Penate
says
King
didn't
mind
his
affair
with
Southwick
as
the
telly
host
was
romancing
her
sister,
Engemann,
45.
Penate
said:
"He
told
me
one
time,
"Have
you
ever
seen
Shannon?"
After
I
said
that
I
had
never
met
her,
he
said,
"Oh,
oh
--
she's
really
gorgeous!"
However,
Southwick
has
earlier
rubbished
all
reports
of
an
affair
with
Penate,
and
Engemann
has
denied
having
an
affair
with
King.
King's
rep
has
kept
mum
over
the
issue.
