Instead, rumor has it that he wants to be with his granddaughter who he is rumored to have been romantically involved with since December.
He's 72. She's 27. Yes, you can say what's on your mind....yuck!
His lawyer William R. Wright confirmed the news of the divorce saying, “There's no waiting period, there was no trial and they reached an amicable settlement. He is just happy that they can both move on.”
Freeman and his ex wife Myrna Colley-Lee got married back in 1984 and have two children together. They split back in December 2007, but they didn't make the news public until Freeman's scandalous car accident.
At 73, you would think he would just stick around for a few more years, but even at that age he wants younger blood. Men will be men!

According to the National Enquirer, Morgan, 72, who divorced his wife last year, has been having a decade-long affair with Hines.
“Morgan has led her to believe that he wants to marry her,” a family insider told the tabloid. “Becoming Mrs. Morgan Freeman has been E’Dena’s goal,” revealed another family source.
Hines is the granddaughter of Morgan’s first wife, Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, whom he and his estranged second wife Myrna raised since she was a young child.
Hines has accompanied Freeman to numerous red carpet events but no one thought anything of it because she was being introduced as his granddaughter.
“It’s not technically incest, because they are not related by blood…[but] Morgan is trying desperately to keep his divorce out of open court so all the shameful facts won’t become public,” added the source.
It may not be incest, but it’s still pretty disturbing. He helped raise her since she was a little girl! That's just disgusting!!

Morgan having a doctor we can understand. He’s still recovering from the car crash he was involved in last summer, and requires therapy in his hand. But it must have been a package deal for the two guys, because the doc is there to make sure Clint is healthy too. Clint is the director on the film, called Human Nature, in which Freeman plays the role of Nelson Mandela.
A source tells the New York Daily News, "There's a huge budget for the film at stake. These guys are getting up there in age. Sure they had physicals before leaving - everyone has to. But the private doctor was just an agreed upon decision on all sides of the table."
That’s got to be a little shot to the ego when a doctor has to follow you around everywhere! But both Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood are such professionals that they’d probably sacrifice anything for the sake of making a good film.
Speaking of Human Nature, the movie sounds really good. It’s a look at Nelson Mandela’s life after the fall of the apartheid in South Africa during his first term as President. Matt Damon stars as South African rugby star Francois Pienaar.

According to Demaris’ lawsuit filed today, she noticed "throughout the course of dinner and afterward drinks were consumed by Freeman."
That means he was drinking prior to the crash, something that was not reported initially.
Meyer then says she left dinner and met up with Freeman and others at a friend's home. She claims Freeman "had at least one more drink" while there.
She claims Freeman then invited her to stay at his home for the night -- guaranteeing her not only her own bedroom, but her "own house." She says she agreed.
Meyer claims at around 11:30 PM, while Freeman drove her to his home, Morgan lost control of the car and "ran off of the right side of the highway."
Meyer says she suffered a broken left wrist and right scapula, a torn labrum in her right shoulder and numerous bruises and lacerations.
During the press conference Meyer said she and Freeman were "just friends,” despite the rumors that she was his mistress.
She is now suing for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, permanent disability, and additional damages. We wonder how it was covered up at the time of the crash about Morgan drinking? That always seems to come out, no matter how big the star is!

The woman in the car was Demaris Meyer, who was described as a "family friend" around the time of the accident.
We’re not sure how severe her injuries were, but she’s planning on holding a press conference with Gloria Allred today to discuss details from the crash, and the nature of her relationship with Freeman.
Really? Six months later, and they’re doing a press conference? Leave it to Gloria Allred…
As you may recall, Morgan Freeman’s wife of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee filed for divorce two days after the crash.
TMZ reports that today’s conference will "tell the truth about whether or not she was the 'other woman' in an intimate relationship with then-married actor Morgan Freeman when she was seriously injured as he was driving her car late at night."
Let’s not forget about Morgan in this story. He was pretty badly injured himself, sustaining a broken arm, broken elbow, and shoulder damage.
Last month, Freeman told Access Hollywood he still wasn’t able to use his left hand due to the surgery he had to have.
He told them, “I wound up with a lot of nerve damage in my arm, so the hand is still paralyzed. So until the nerves get down there…”
Stay tuned for the press conference at 12 noon Pacific Time!

Morgan was photographed last week looking very cozy with new girlfriend Mary Joyce Hays.
British tabloids are reporting that Morgan and Hays were involved before he announced his divorce last month, but Morgan's camp has since denied the allegations. Either way, he sure moved on quick. 24 years is no joke. Most Hollywood marriages don't even last 24 months.
