OK, something not quite right here ("Berlusconi's wife to divorce him" [BBC])

Ms Lario is Mr Berlusconi's second wife and a former actress. The couple have three children from their 19-year marriage, all in their 20s.

i am told that belusconi sired the children while he was still married to his first wife.

That was pretty much what I expected, but then it should be "The couple have three children from their relationship, all in their 20s. They have been married for 19 years."

I'm obviously not the only pedant in the audience, as it has now been subtly changed to "The couple, who have been married for 19 years, have three children, all in their 20s."
