A baseball coach is claiming he scored with Larry King’s wife before her divorce filing last week and says she openly mused about the CNN anchor’s demise.

In a blockbuster interview airing Wednesday night, coach and aspiring actor Hector Penate confirms his affair with King’s seventh wife, Shawn Southwick.

“Yes I did,” Penate, 31, tells “Entertainment Tonight” when asked if he had an affair with Southwick.

He said Southwick, 50, often spoke to him of her desire to divorce the 76-year-old King, and wistfully told him, “‘Don’t worry, he’s gonna die soon.’”

Penate said he began sleeping with Southwick 2-1/2 weeks after they met in 2007 and described one randy rendezvous.

“We got back in the car and we kind of locked eyes and just started kissing,” Penate says in the interview to air at 7:30 Wednesday night on CBS.

King and Southwick filed divorce papers minutes apart last week after an alleged fight over Southwick’s claim King is having an affair with her 46-year-old sister, Shannon Engemann. Southwick has denied having an affair with Penate.

In an interview with In Touch magazine to be published Friday, Penate said King’s affair with his sister-in-law may have motivated Southwick to sleep with him.

“I really think she had the affair with me because of him and her sister,” he said.

He claims that he vacationed with Southwick and her children with King in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and had sex in King’s bed. “We had sex in Larry’s bed a lot,” he said. “I felt like it was my house.”
