What's me ill is that his 'GF' is his former best friend's wife - the guy who stood as best man in all 3 of Hawk's wedding. Extra douchey!
Other wives were a nanny and employee, my guess is those were infidelity related as well. Slob. (yes, I watched that)
Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk divorced his third wife, Lhotse Merriam, for his best friend and business partner Matt Goodman's wife, Cathy, the New York Post reported Tuesday citing sources.
Merriam found out about her action sports star husband's new relationship in December after she discovered a plane ticket for Cathy that Hawk had booked for her to join him in San Francisco -- despite his being lifelong friends with Matt Goodman.
Hawk filed for divorce in San Diego from Merriam on Feb. 11. They have one child together, Kadence Clover, and Hawk has three sons from two previous marriages.
"We remain deeply committed and loving parents to our daughter, and out of respect for that responsibility we ask that people honor our family's privacy during this important time of transition," the couple said in a statement at the time.
Hawk married Merriam, his former publicist, in 2006, two years after divorcing his second wife, Erin, his former nanny.
Cathy was married to Goodman for nearly 20 years, and they have two kids. Sources said Goodman and Cathy have now separated.
Hawk -- who is credited with putting skateboarding on the map and who became a multimillionaire from his "Tony Hawk Pro Skater" video games -- and Cathy were recently spotted in New York together, sources said.
Hawk and Goodman had been friends since childhood. Sources said Goodman stood as a groomsman at every one of Hawk's three weddings.
Goodman and Hawk also founded action sports movie company 900 Films together.
Merriam had no comment the Post called for a response, and neither did Goodman.
A rep for Hawk said, "We do not comment on the personal lives of our clients."

Love that standard issue umbrella statement created by a publicist 
I hate how people always seem to include kids into their break up statements.
It's feels so slimy to me that people would use their kids as a shield to cover their own A$$es. It seems like I have read this statement several times over the past months. They either all use the same publicist or they have a special quote handbook designed specifically for these situations.

all 3 of Hawk's weddings
Let's just ponder that one for a minute......

He certainly doesn't like to get off the sofa to find new OW, does he? He just shops in the nursery, helps himself to what his friend brings over.
It nagged him, in particular, that none of the girls he’d known so far had given him a sense of unalloyed triumph.

He was a childhood hero to me and my brother... what a total douche.
They both must be crazy in denial to not see what a horrible mess they have made.

This makes me ill...the whole LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian crap makes me ill too...it's like famous people try to draw out this beautiful picture of what a painful thing they did...if we were all rich and had everythign the famous people have then I guess it prob wouldn't be a big deal just like it isn't for them, but we are all real people who don't have it all and have to suffer through

what is really funny is that cathy has been married to his best friend for 20 years so she obviously knows that tony hawk has a serious history of cheating but apparently they are so in loooove he wont ever do that to her. yeah he'll screw up friendships, divorce wifes, but cathy is safe.

oh Cathy--- do you think that you have the platinum vagina? The one that will keep this serial cheater home? Don't think so.
I am sure that he will stay faithful to you on those business trips.... I am sure he won't find some new liquid pussy at work or on the road or next door. Cause your love is real.....
He threw over his friend of 20 year for you. Now that is love. Hope he shows you that same level of loyalty and friendship....
Good luck. You are going to need it.
I don't respect anyone that can't spell a word more than one way:)

Like a wise SI-er once wrote. "When you marry a man who cheats on his wife; you marry a man who cheats on his wife!" But I'm sure marriage number 4 will be the ONE!

..best friends since childhood..???

..here is my definition:
..my 'best friend' was the guy i want to kill..with my bare hands!
..be careful who you call your friend..cuz you just never know..

I was my husband's "best friend" ... his AP was his cousin's wife (our nanny).
His ONS was with our neighbor, he was also friends with the boyfriend who recently died of cancer.
I'd hate to see how he'd treat an enemy if this is how he treats his friends and family.
And what is it with nanny's being whores?
Neighbor slut was/is also a nanny.

I am so disappointed. He was my son's idol when he was a little boy. He was the reason my son got his first skate board. I thought he was a really stand up guy. What a piece of shit

Like me, the OW's wife was leaving a long term marriage to run off with a serial cheater. Another idiot...who will eventually get dumped for the next victim. All for what?
If you love something and hurt it dearly, then chose not to fix it...you never deserved it in the first place.

This makes me ill...the whole LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian crap makes me ill too...
I cannot stand the whole LeAnn Rimes thing. It also sickens me that she apparently has a really good publicist because she is still in our face constantly! I cancelled my Shape mag subscription after they put her on the cover. I was supposed to go see Blake Shelton this week, but he cancelled and they replaced him with Leann Rimes....uhhhh noooooo....my friend and I got a refund.
