Marx, 50, who gave hits like `Right Here Waiting` and `Hold On to the Nights` had himself revealed the news of their split on a show recently. When the host asked Marx as to how he was feeling about dating after being single again, he replied, "It`s all brand new to me, so I`m just having fun." "You hit 50 and go, what do I want to do differently? I want to do as much differently as possible," he had said on the show.
