The wife of faith healer and televangelist Benny Hinn has filed for divorce in Orange County Superior Court.
Suzanne Hinn filed her divorce papers Feb. 1, according to the court website. Her attorney, Sorrell Trope, could not be reached for comment Thursday afternoon.
The couple married in 1979 and have three daughters and a son, according to a biography on posted on the website for Benny Hinn Ministries.
The silver-haired Hinn is one of the world's most financially successful faith healers.
He lives in a multimillon-dollar home near Salt Creek Beach Park in Dana Point. And he has flown around the world in a leased Gulfstream jet to lead his "Miracle Crusades," during which tens of thousands of followers have packed stadiums and auditoriums to hear Hinn preach about the Gospel and God's healing powers.
Hinn has been a pastor for more than 30 years but remains committed to "winning the lost at any cost," his website says.
Hinn's ministries are headquartered in Grapevine, Texas, and operates a television studio in Aliso Viejo.
