In April 2007, Zahn announced she was divorcing Cohen after 20 years of marriage. The news was scandalized in tabloid gossip media where it was alleged the divorce was the result of an affair Zahn was rumored to have had with Paul Fribourg. However, these rumors and allegations were never substantiated beyond tabloid media accounts. That same year, Zahn filed a lawsuit against Cohen alleging he had mismanaged 20 years' worth of her career earnings. The lawsuit was dismissed by the New York state court, ruling it "is not a commercial case, rather, it is a matrimonial dispute masquerading as a commercial dispute."
