Star Jones may have just filed for divorce, but soon-to-be-ex Al Reynolds checked out of his marriage nearly a year ago, according to friends of his.

The beginning of the end was reportedly last summer in Saint-Tropez, where the couple loudly fought on the beach over Star being Al’s sugar mama. One friend recounted an incident where Al refused to pay for beach chairs, demanding that Star fork over the cash.
“She paid for everything. He never even took out his wallet,” the pal snitched.

For the past year, the pair have been living separately, because of Al’s job as a professor of social science at Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens (they actually do give degrees; we checked). But Reynolds hasn’t exactly been missing his wife’s company.

“When he is in Miami, he’s always on the beach or at the pool at the Delano,” a pal in South Beach tells us. Reynolds reportedly works on his tan all day, then parties hard at night. “He hits Mansion, Privé, Mokai and the Florida Room at the Delano four nights a week.”
And he isn’t alone.

“Al always has a posse of hot young dudes and scantily clad women with him,” our spy says. “He brings strippers back from Gold Rush strip bar to the Delano and dirty dances all night long.”

Ewwwwwww is pretty much all we can say.
