Kennedy, 50, the couple filed for divorce, declaring that there had been an "irretrievable breakdown" of their 24-year marriage. At one point during the brief hearing in Barnstable, Mass, (where they both stillvote), Joan appeared to be near tears, according to Court Clerk Robert Farrell, but "Ted put his hand on her shoulder, and she seemed to regain her composure."
