Serial Divorcee Set to Divorce Wife Number 8

Britain’s most married man, Ron Sheppard who has been married to eight different women, is now set for a divorce after his wife number eight, 36-year-old Weng Platino, who has been his wife for 10 years accused him of cheating on her, Daily Mail reports.

The retired holiday camp entertainer allegedly shared a bed with a young local woman, Iza Samontes, who gave him a massage on a solo trip to the Philippines. He returned home and told Weng about it saying that he only shared a bed with her because she was ‘trapped’ in his hotel; after his confession, Weng, who is still sharing their marital home in Somerton, Somerset, wants to divorce him. Ron has eight children and four great-grandchildren from his many marriages. Weng says,

“We knew it was coming, for a long, long time. What pushed me to make a decision on having a divorce from him was when I was told by Ron that he had let that Filipino sleep in his bed. That made me really, really angry. What’s the point of me trying to understand him and his ways and care for him, to be cheated on? How can I believe him? The intention was there. I even messaged the girl to let her know Ron was married. The reply I got from her was ‘I’m sorry but I love him’. She doesn’t know what she’s getting into. They have been talking – just two days ago. They have been Skype-ing while I’m here as well.”

Weng believes the woman in question might end up being Ron’s wife number nine.

Ron who has written a book ”lord of the wedding rings” admitted that nine months ago he started messaging other women via a dating website but claimed he “didn’t know what he was doing” due to medication he takes for Parkinson’s. He wondered at Weng getting upset that he messaged “one or two people” sending them around £300.

Sometime last month, Ron went to the Philippines and ordered a leg massage in his hotel room, which was carried out by Iza. Ron claimed there was a security lock-down which forced Iza to lodge with him in his hotel room and he got into trouble for telling his wife what transpired; he says,

“Basically I have been pleading with Weng not to have a divorce, but she has lost trust.
When it was time for her [Iza] to go and she couldn’t because of the convention I said to her ‘you better stay here if you want to, but it’s up to you’. She slept in the bed, under the sheet, wearing all her clothes and there was a pillow between us. Nothing between us happened. I came home and told Weng that I gave this girl a bed for the night because she couldn’t get back, and for her that sort of done it. I was being honest. Perhaps I shouldn’t have said anything.”
