So, I was digging into this whole “John McEnroe wife” thing today, and let me tell you, it got pretty interesting. You know John McEnroe, right? The tennis legend? Well, turns out the guy’s been married twice.
I started off just wanting to know who he’s hitched to now, and boom, I’m down a rabbit hole. His current wife is Patty Smyth. Never heard of her? Neither had I, initially. But it turns out she’s a rock singer, a pretty big deal back in the ’80s. She was the lead singer for this band called Scandal, and they had a hit song, “The Warrior.” I even listened to it, and it is a total blast from the past, honestly.
Anyway, McEnroe and Smyth, they got married in 1997. That’s, like, a long time ago. Before Patty, McEnroe was married to Tatum O’Neal, who is an actress. I didn’t dive too deep into that marriage, but I did find out they had three kids together. It sounded kind of messy, though. They had joint custody at first, but then McEnroe got sole custody in ’98 because O’Neal was apparently struggling with some addiction issues. Rough stuff.
But back to Patty Smyth. They’ve got two daughters together, and from what I gathered, they’re living a pretty chill life on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I also found out that Patty was married before, to another singer named Richard Hell, back in the mid-’80s, and they have a daughter, Ruby. She met McEnroe in ’93, which was long after McEnroe’s tennis career was over.
I also stumbled upon this tidbit about McEnroe’s net worth being around $100 million. That’s some serious cash! And to think, his prize money from his tennis days was only around 12 million. It is crazy how much money these athletes make.
Here’s what I found out today, in a nutshell:
- John McEnroe is currently married to Patty Smyth.
- Patty Smyth is a rock singer, formerly of the band Scandal.
- McEnroe and Smyth got married in 1997 and have two daughters.
- McEnroe was previously married to Tatum O’Neal, with whom he has three children.
- Patty Smyth was also previously married to a singer named Richard Hell, and they have a daughter named Ruby.
- McEnroe’s net worth is estimated to be around $100 million.
It is kind of crazy how much you can find out about someone just by Googling their name and the word “wife.” The internet is a wild place, I tell you.
