I finally checked out his new wife's photo just now. Art really blew me away with this news of his, in the middle of the night when I woke and happened to hear it. I missed the first airing of his show. Well, I have plenty of Philippinos in my life, and she is not among the prettiest of the ones I know. Of course she looks very attractive and friendly and nice in those pictures. But the way he was talking, I thought he had found a living Barbie Doll or something.
Remember after his lovely wife died (as I recall, she was gorgeous), how he didn't know how to wash a dish or write a check? He was totally, totally, alone and helpless. He wasn't going to last long without a mommy/partner.
This girl-wife will be taking care of him and letting him be himself again. Most likely, she didn't want to sleep with him before marriage, and in his lonely lust he decided to just go for it. Maybe the change of venue will do him good.
I have known Asian women who married foreigners to escape their world. It sounds like this girl gets to keep her old world AND get to live like a queen and very beloved for as long as Art lives. She may not find herself unhappy in 5 years, like some mail-order brides from Asia do.
It will be interesting to watch. I just think he should have waited.......
