And it is being claimed that the pair have been having an affair 'for months' in divorce documents filed on Friday.
Meanwhile it has emerged the has been offered a job by a website that specialises in extramarital affairs.
Bosses at Marriedwivesclub.com are attempting to negotiate a deal with her management.
A spokesman for the website, which claims that 50 per cent of women and 60 per cent of men cheat, said they thin she would be 'the perfect cheating spouse to represent' them.

It also emerged this week that Ava is not the only victim affected by her cheating spouse's affair.
Tareq has revealed their pet pooch Rio is devastated by the split.

Tariq has filed for divorce yesterday citing adultery and abandonment.
And in bizarre twist, he claims his love rival taunted him with a lewd picture.
In legal documents, he alleged: 'The paramour [Neal] sent to my email account... a email with an attachment of a penis.'

Tareq claims his wife has been having an affair for 'several months'.
'She continually exposes our friends and acquaintances to her adulterous relationship and has flaunted the same throughout the community, the nation and indeed the world, and thus caused me to suffer great harm, humiliation and embarrassment.'
The pair are understood to have a pre-nuptial agreement.
Tareq was once friendly with the rocker and his band Journey, however he has now been banned from gaining access to the group's tour.
An unearthed photograph shows the love rivals arm-in-arm, as Michaele smiles slyly on the other side of them. It was taken after one of the band's concerts.
Mrs Salahi first met Schon on 1995 and the pair felt an instant attraction, reported U.S. website TMZ.
They allegedly embarked on a sexual affair as early as in 2009, which the Journey musician even bragged about to friends via e-mail.
A second photo predicts the direction that their friendship was destined to take, as Michaele, 45, sits comfortably on her future lover's knee with his arms wrapped tightly around her.
After allegedly hiding the affair for two years, the illicit couple threw caution to the wind earlier this week as Michaele jumped ship from her marriage into the Schon's arms - and onto the Journey tour bus.
A confused Tareq reported his wife missing after she didn't return from a hair appointment and a dance class, and even alerted the alarm that she had been kidnapped.
But deputies at the local authorities told Tareq that his wife had previously contacted them to inform them that she was okay.

She had told them she was 'dealing with family issues and was safe.'
However, it soon emerged that Mrs Salahi was with Schon after going to his show in Nashville.
The reality star is now said to be in Memphis with Schon as he continues his U.S tour.
'Mrs. Salahi said she did not want Mr Salahi to know where she was,' said police in Warren County, Virginia, in a statement.
'She seemed calm, was engaged in conversation and assured the deputy that she had left the residence with a good friend and was where she wanted to be.
She advised she did not want to be home right now.'

Tareq is telling friends he can never trust Michaele again and will never take her back, even though he believes she'll eventually tire of Neal and try to come back to him.
The shunned husband has reportedly already changed the locks on their family
The Salahis rose to notoriety after it was revealed they had gatecrashed a White House party attended by President Barack Obama.
The couple mingled with VIPs as Mr Obama and his wife, Michelle, welcomed guests to the dinner honouring Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh.
Their antics were only discovered when they posted photographs of themselves hobnobbing with Washington's elite on their Facebook page causing major embarrassment to the President's security team.
As a musician, Neal should be shocked and horrified and go screaming in the other direction!
