Benny Hinn’s Wife Files for Divorce

The couples’ marriage has been in danger in the past.

Benny and Suzanne Hinn have now filed for divorce for the second time since 2010.

The couple has apparently been living in separate homes in Florida. Hillsborough County Court records show that Benny lives at an address in Palm Coast while his wife Suzanne lives at a home in Longwood, Florida — some 70 miles apart from one another.

It is unclear why Suzanne filed for divorce or how long that the couple have lived in separate homes.

In February 2010, Suzanne served Benny with divorce papers leaving the televangelist “shocked and saddened.” Suzanne cited irreconcilable differences as to the reason for their divorce in 2010, according to the Christian Post.

In August of 2010, The National Enquirer published photographs of Benny and well-known televangelist Paula White leaving a hotel room in Rome holding hands. The Enquirer claimed that the two spent three nights in the five-star hotel that Hinn had booked under an alias. Both White and Hinn claimed that there was no romantic involvement and they were nothing more than friends.

Suzanne and Benny reconciled in 2012 and opted to remarry in 2013 at The Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Florida in front of 1,000 guests. The wedding was officiated by the late Jack Hayford.

Following their reconciliation and remarriage, Benny told CBN that his wife was previously addicted to prescription drugs, which would lead her to “behave erratically at times.” Benny also owned that he placed too much attention and time on the ministry and not enough time with his family. The televangelist said that he was “so caught up in the ministry, I forgot about my family.”

This divorce was filed in Florida, a state allowing no-fault divorce, so the couple will likely see an equitable distribution of their assets.
