Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis has confirmed his seven-week marriage is over, just a day after reportedly laughing off split rumours.
The adult filmmaker married reporter Christina McLarty in Mexico in November, but rumours of trouble in the relationship emerged this week with reports suggesting she had moved out of the couple's Los Angeles home.
Francis dismissed the speculation as "false" and "funny", according to Hollyscoop.com, but on Thursday, the media mogul confirmed the story as true.
A statement to US Weekly reads, "After careful and thoughtful consideration on both our parts, Christina and I have mutually decided to end our relationship. We entered into our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness that we leave it. We wish each other the best for the future."
Francis dated the CBS News showbiz reporter on and off for four years prior to their marriage.
