After graduating from Princeton University, Sonia Sotomayor married her high school sweetheart, Kevin Noonan. Seven years later, the couple divorced. In this clip from her sit-down with Oprah for "Oprah's Next Chapter," Supreme Court justice Sotomayor opens up about her divorce, the price of success and what life is like for those on the nation's highest court.
Justice Sotomayor says that she and Noonan remained friends after divorcing, and that their marriage failed due to mistakes both parties made. "I was completely consumed with work when I started as a D.A. in Manhattan, and I really wasn't paying attention to him," she admits. "I take full responsibility for that part of the end."
As for Noonan's role in the split, Sotomayor says that her success was something he struggled with. "He began to fear not being as successful as I," she says. "He said, 'One day I woke up realizing that no matter how hard I worked, I might not be as successful as you.'"
