And now they’re taking their rings off, too.
Page Six has learned that Times Square’s famous Naked Cowboy and his wife, the Naked Cowgirl, are getting divorced.
The gee-tar strummin’ novelty exhibitionists — who have been entertaining tourists with their cheeky musical act for decades — got hitched in 2013, and have been blissfully plucking each other’s G-strings ever since.
Or so it seemed!
It turns out that, like many a showbiz marriage before them, the glittering public facade hid a darker truth.
Now the nudely weds have split, it seems.
According to court documents seen by Page Six, the Naked Cowboy filed for an uncontested divorce on February 9 and a judge granted the split on Thursday.
The pair are business partners of a sort. The infamously litigious cow poke — who has sued M&Ms and CBS for using Naked Cowboy-esque characters — reportedly owns the trademark for the Naked Cowgirl character and has licensed it to various women including his now-ex wife. It’s unclear if they’ll maintain their professional ties.
He’s reportedly worth some $2million as a result of his business-savvy busking.
The Naked Cowboy has run for both mayor of New York City and president of the United States. He challenged Barack Obama in the 2012 election, hoping to represent the Tea Party faction of the Republican Party in the White House. (He lost the Republican nomination to Mitt Romney.)
He released an album, “Year of the Cowboy,” in 2007.
The good news is for both is that if there’s one thing that can invigorate a country and western career, it’s a good divorce ballad.
We couldn’t reach the former couple for comment. (After all, where would they keep their iPhones?)
