Albert Gore iii

Meet Karenna Gore Schiff. She is Al Gore’s daughter. No doubt she is going through a rough time right now as her parents have announced they are separating after 40 years of marriage.

For Karenna Gore Schiff, being the oldest daughter of Al Gore and his wife Tipper surely has put her into the spotlight again, as she now deals with the news that her parents are splitting. Undoubtedly her younger siblings will go to her for support.


Her parents announced their split to friends via an email and said that it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.”

Quite a shocker, eh? They always seemed to be such a warm and loving couple. And that kiss! Who can forget that kiss? It’s so sad that these two are parting ways and obviously this is going to be tough for their four children. Let’s focus on the Al Gore’s daughter, the oldest, Karenna.

As a biography, Karenna Gore Schiff’s date of birth is August 6, 1973, making her 36 years of age. She grew up in Nashville, Tennessee (where she was born) along with spending her adolescent years in Washington D.C. It was there that she attended National Cathedral School and graduated in 1991.

Tipper Gore

Al Gore once claimed his romance with wife Tipper inspired the novel "Love Story" and the couple shared an uncomfortably long kiss before millions on the stage of the Democratic National Convention.
Now, after a 40-year marriage that survived the near-death of a child and the heartache of losing the disputed 2000 presidential election, the former high school sweethearts are calling it quits.
"After a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate," the Gores wrote in an e-mail to friends on Tuesday. "This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together."
Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further.
The Gores told friends they "grew apart" after four decades of marriage and there was no affair involved, according to two longtime close associates and family friends.
The couple had carved out separate lives over time, with the 62-year-old former vice president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate on the road frequently, said the associates, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the couple's behalf.
"Their lives had gotten more and more separated," one of the friends said.
The couple, who own homes in Nashville and Gore's hometown of Carthage, Tenn., had reportedly purchased an $8.8 million estate in Montecito, Calif., this spring.
Married on May 19, 1970, at the National Cathedral in Washington, the Gores crafted an image of a happy couple during his eight-year stint as vice president in the 1990s and a presidential candidate in 2000.
