End of An Heir-A: The U.K. Abolishes Aristocrats' Right to Inherit Parliament Seats 🎩

1. Aw, I hadn't heard that he and A.J. Langer got divorced.

They were married quite a while. I remember watching some show about them and the estate—maybe a Mary Berry visit? I kept thinking the American wife looked familiar and then I finally placed her as my favorite character in the show My So-Called Life. She was really involved in the running of the estate and seemed to fit in well. That’s too bad.

My So-Called Life star A.J. Langer and her husband Charles Courtenay are ending their marriage after nearly 20 years together.

In an official statement from Powderham Castle, Courtenay, who is the 19th Earl of Devon, confirmed his split from Langer, who played Rayanne on the ’90s cult hit and is now a countess.

“After much care and consideration, Charles Courtenay, the Earl of Devon, and Countess of Devon, Allison Joy Courtenay, have made the decision to separate and to divorce,” the statement read. “Charlie would like to express his gratitude for his partnership with A.J. and all that they have created together as parents, friends and partners both in Los Angeles and at Powderham. The well-being of their wonderful children is the highest priority, as he and A.J. focus upon coparenting in the years ahead.”
