I was obsessed with the super creepiness of this story. Letourneau and Vili Fualaau dominated headlines in the late 1990s after news of her crimes, which started when he was 12, emerged. However, the Seattle pair married in 2005 after Letourneau, who had been married with children during the affair, got out of prison for child rape. Fualaau, a 33-year-old who now has two adult children with his now 55-year-old former sixth grade teacher, filed for a separation earlier this month, TMZ reported. www.tmz.com/2017/05/30/mary-kay-letourneau-divorce-separation-student-vili-fualaau/

You know they must have tried EVERYTHINGGGGGGG to stay together before this. Because now everyone will be all, "OHHHH guess it wasn't your one true love huh?"
Seriously, I always figured the reason they stayed together was to prove a point and because who is going to date the teacher after that giant media circus? So when people said, "Welllllll but they did end up staying together so maybe it was legit?" I would roll my eyes. HE WAS TWELVE. GTFO.

The fact that he's 33 is blowing my mind, though. For some reason, I thought I was around the same age as him when this happened, but he's five years older than me. This just became a part of culture's lexicon I guess.

tatorhead328, that's what I think too. I mean I also wonder how much of it was a stockholm type of syndrome. He was so young when this all started and probably confused as fuck. Maybe he's just starting to work through it. I am curious what the kids, as adults, think of this whole thing. That would be a realllllly weird spot to be in.

LIKE, SHE WAS 34 WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THAT IS FUCKING INSANE.
I am 28 years old, and I feel like I'm always shaking my cane at teenagers. I don't even want to be in the same movie theater as a 12 year old, what the hell did they even have deep, meaningful conversations about? Ugh, it's all so gross.

So gross. Like I have a 15 year old boy babysitter and I'm like, are we sure he's old enough to babysit? Like, I cannot wrap my mind around seeing anything other than a child.

I can't even imagine what a 12 year old could bring to the table. Is a 12 year old even old enough to sit in the front seat of a car?

That's so creepy. Did she write to him from jail? Like I feel like that would've been so inappropriate and not allowed. Or were they truly apart for 7 years then decided to have a relationship?

He's younger than me. And he is raising adult daughters with a geriatric lunatic for a wife. I'm glad he's free to actually start living his life now.

I was obsessed with this story too. Just too much gross. Total insanity. I don't even know what to say. I hope he finds happiness after all of this? I hope their kids maintain some anonymity.

She only had to do a short sentence the first time they were together. Then she violated her parole by having sex with him again and went back to prison for seven years. They co-authored a book during those seven years, so apparently they did have contact.

I was obsessed with them but never wanted to know much about their kids because they had no choice in all of the media circus and craziness. And you're right - they look like siblings.

Ugh, 12 years old. Only five years older than my daughter, who believes in Santa and accidentally put her bathing suit on over her shorts last week. I just can't wrap my head around that.

This just became a part of culture's lexicon I guess. I have the opposite reaction. I'm 30 and can't believe I'm so close in age to him. I assumed he was 10 years older than me? It makes it hit even closer to home. I just want to shower.

yeah I thought they would've kept the kids anonymous but their names and photos are in the articles. it seems unsettling, because I just don't know how I would feel in that situation as the kid born in jail ya know.

I did a quick FB search for shits and giggles. He's public with tons of photos of his kids and his day to day life.
So I guess they're just living life. I can't be mad at that. Hiding who you are and your back story would be so tough to keep up, especially since I think they just stayed in the town where this all went down.

What I've always found to be so weird is how she dresses like she's his contemporary. A Kangol hat is not a good look, Mary Kay.
