Sherri Shepherd's husband of three years Lamar Sally has filed for divorce, but it's being reported that the pair's attempt at surrogacy was successful and there is a baby on the way.

Sources connected with the couple told TMZ: 'Sherri and Lamar Sally have hired a surrogate who is carrying their baby, and the estimated delivery date is July 28th.'

They add that the television writer, 43, filed the papers on May 2, and that he will be represented by Mark Vincent Kaplan, the same attorney who represented Kevin Federline in his divorce from Britney Spears, he will also be fighting for sole custody.

Officially over: Sherri Shepherd's television writer husband Lamar Sally has filed for divorce, TMZ has reported. They married three years ago in a lavish ceremony

TMZ say Sally is trying to get the prenup revoked on the basis of fraud, and only wants to allow basic visitation rights to the host.

The source added that Sherri, who has a nine-year-old son Jeffrey, was frustrated because her husband was being 'lazy' about stepping up as a father figure, and they he 'sat around the house all day doing nothing.

'Sherri has a full time nanny, who drives Jeffrey to school every day and picks him up in the afternoon,' said the source.

'This has been going on for years, and Lamar doesn’t even offer to help. It is unfortunate. Sherri started to wonder if he'd ever be able to step up once they had another child, or if she'd be practically raising the child alone.'

Mr Sally, however, seems to see things differently. He told RadarOnline on Thursday that he misses his estranged wife's son. 'I was great with Jeffrey. He was in my life for four years,' he said.

Yesterday, a very close family insider told MailOnline that infidelity on Mr Sally's part could be the reason for the couple's relationship woes.

The 47-year-old co-host of The View recently told friends her marriage was 'in trouble' almost four years after tying the knot at the Fairmont Hotel in her hometown of Chicago in August 2011.

Ms Shepherd divorced her first husband of eight years, Jeff Tarpley, in 2009 after she discovered he was having an affair and his mistress was pregnant.

The event inspired her sitcom Sherri, which centered around a comedienne who tried to move on with her life after divorcing her cheating husband.

It's not the first time the talk show host has been suspicious of her second husband.

Just three months after their wedding in 2011, a published report claimed Mr Sally had once been intimately involved with Wendy Marrisa Peel, whom he remained close friends with after they broke up.

But he begged Ms Shepherd to include her in their wedding party - which she did, not knowing they were recent lovers.

Now, Mr Sally is back in Los Angeles 'where he belongs,' according to the insider, while Ms Shepherd remains in New York focused on work.

Ms Shepherd recently told how she was feeling 'better than ever' after losing 60lbs.

The trigger for her transformation was being diagnosed with diabetes and ballooning to almost 200lbs. With the help of friends, she changed her diet and began to lose weight.

She credited her husband for helping her to rustle up healthy meals, concluding: 'He's my personal chef, but I gotta sleep with him.'

Before their nuptials, Ms Shepherd, who was proposed to with an impressive three-carat princess-cut diamond ring, chimed: 'This man not only loves me, but he adores my son [Jeffrey]. And my son adores him.'

The two publicly announced that they were trying to have a child together but due to Ms Shepherd's fertility issues - she miscarried Jeffrey's twin - they were opting for surrogacy.

Last June Ms Shepherd told the Tom Joyner Morning Show that she and her husband had found a 'drama-free uterus.'

'We found a girl that didn't have any drama in her life. We're putting in our egg and Sal's sperm and we'll let you know how it progresses.'

I don,t really care for Sherri ,she is a mini Nene Leakes!however I fell really bad for the child. Sherri has a lot to say about nothing and she is phony and hypocritical where her religion is concerned.

Clearly, he was only in it for the money. If not, he would have get out with what he came in with.... A big FAT NOTHING! Child support, Spousal Support, hiring KFED's Lawyer (Brittney Spears' Ex) Let's face it people, Brittney is still paying KFED not only for the two kids she has with him, but the other 4 (2 with his present wife) and the two he has with the other baby mama, he dumped for Brittney. So hiring that very same lawyer, tells me that he is going to Life time SUPPORT!

I HOPE some judge sees through that ploy. He didn't want Sherri, he didn't want her son, he did however want a direct line into her bank account for the next 20 years to life, so he'll take the child if he has to. I hope she has wonderful representation, as it is she'll have to pay him for HIS representation and spousal support because with all his screwing around, who would have time to work?

First of all, I don't believe The View is on in the UK so most Brits have no idea who Sherri Shepherd is. Second, count yourself fortunate. Although I don't particularly care for Ms. Shepherd, like most mothers she loves her son and it's noted on this program regularly. Shepherd stated on air that she believed the earth was flat. I don't like her awkward religious beliefs, she acts outright liberal and then goes all religious on a subject when it isn't even a consideration to the conversation. Why she's still on the program is beyond many viewers. Though, for her son and soon to be addition. I feel bad for her. I think Jeffrey really liked Sal and it's always hardest on the children.

She also doesn't like white people if you listen to her talk for any period of time. Apparently the first husband left her for a white woman and she's been bitter about it every since. When she guest hosted on the view before they hired her as a regular host she would go on angry rants out the whole matter and when it was found out she was going to be a host people wrote in and said "Not her! Get someone else!" but Barbara didn't listen. She herself addressed the issue the first day she was a full time host so it wasn't just a rumor. There are so many people they could get that would make it a much better show. The idea is good - four women with four different points of view discussing issues - but they have four women with one point of view talking over each other and it spoils the show.
