Jerry Weintraub reveals his wife and mistress are ‘best friends’

Jerry has claimed that his unconventional home life with his wife and mistress works out well because the two women are 'best friends.'

London: Movie mogul Jerry Weintraub has claimed that his unconventional home life with his wife and mistress works out well because the two women are ``best friends`` with each other. The Ocean’s Eleven producer married his wife Jane in 1965, but later found love with mistress Susan Ekins.

Weintraub then discussed divorce with his wife, but Jane rejected the idea of splitting up, fearing they would squander his millions paying for the legal proceedings alone. And now, the trio lives together happily, and the credit, according to Weintraub, goes to the women in his life. "They make it work. I’m very much in love with my wife, we’ve been married 48 years and I met this other woman and I’m very much in love with her,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying. "We didn’t get a divorce because we (he and his wife) didn’t want to screw up our estate. I worked very hard for my money. I started out with nothing and ended up with a lot. She didn’t want to give it away to lawyers. She said, ``Go to Susie and ask Susie if she needs to be married.`` Susie said no, and they became best friends,” he added. ANI
