“Secrets Exposed: Murdered Love Doctor Caught Red-Handed with Mistress!”
Ian and Kate Culpepper appeared to have it all. A loving marriage. A beautiful daughter. Two advanced degrees between them. And a household name they created—The Love Doctors—which spawned a television show and several best-selling self-help books.
Sadly, the Love Doctors’ fairytale ending turned to a nightmare this Valentine’s Day, when the couple was discovered brutally stabbed to death in their posh Pebble Beach home. Now, shocking new evidence has revealed trouble was already brewing behind the scenes of their picture-perfect union.
In stunning photos obtained exclusively by The Downtown Star, Ian Culpepper can be seen cavorting with an unnamed and much younger female. In one photo (seen below), the dashingly handsome Culpepper pulls the red-haired beauty in for a sultry kiss in the shadowy alley behind a restaurant. Another photo (also seen below) appears to show Culpepper and his mistress in a compromising position in the backseat of his car.
Culpepper was no stranger to controversy. When interviewed on The View last year, he skirted around long-standing rumors of a second marriage he kept secret from fans, telling the hosts, “Honestly, I don’t remember anybody before Kate. It’s a timeless love. As if we’ve been together all our lives.” Culpepper has always been tight-lipped about his first marriage to Julie Avery, which ended with her death in 2006.
But Ian Culpepper wasn’t the only Love Doctor who had fallen out of love. An inside source tells The Downtown Star that police discovered a secret love note stashed in Kate’s belongings, penned by the blonde bombshell herself, that spoke of her plan to leave Culpepper in the days leading up to the slaying.
A source close to the couple adds, “Even the most ordinary marriage has its secrets. And Ian and Kate, as extraordinary as they were, had more than their fair share.”
