Earlier this week, Vargas confirmed that she has been forced to check back into a rehabilitation facility on Saturday (Aug 16th) to seek further treatment for alcohol abuse as she struggles to maintain her sobriety.

This personal struggle will undoubtedly have affected the 51 year-old '20/20' co-anchor's family, especially her two sons Zachary, 11, and Samuel, 8, and it seems their marriage just couldn't bare it any longer as they are now planning a divorce.
