If Kentucky native Ashley Judd plans a run against Sen. Mitch McConnell in 2014 for one of the commonwealth's two seats in the U.S. Senate, the actress will apparently be doing it without her husband. People magazine reports that Judd, currently a resident of Tennessee, and her husband of more
than a decade are calling it quits. The couple married in 2001 in
Scotland. Franchitti is a race car driver.
Judd is a Democrat and has been rumored as a candidate for the Senate seat held by Minority Leader McConnell, who has represented Kentucky in the upper chamber since 1985. He has led the GOP in the Senate since 2007.
