When the youngish wife died in her sleep years ago, he soon found this other wife and moved away and was only doing short wave.
I think he missed the business but don’t know if they are separated, divorced or together either.
He so if I remember was raped by someone with aids and his son was infected.
He has lots to wrap his brain around in this life.
Son was raped...
His first caller commented that she loved his wife and kid, and Art thanked her. There's a pic of Art and his little girl up on his site, as well.
I'm not such a huge fan that I keep up with his personal life, but I haven't seen anything indicating that he's split from his marriage.
Not quite. His dear wife Ramona died during one of her many severe asthma attacks.
Art went through a rough period grieving the death of his wife, as most would. Concerned over Art's grief and subsequent depression, a few of Art's dear departed wife's extended family introduced Art to the woman whom he eventually married.
His wife then applied at the local US Embassy for a visa and since the visa she applied for as wife of an American citizen was going to take longer than what Art had to return to Pahrump and continue his show from there, Art then continued his live Coast to Coast show from the Philippines.
As I recall Art either paid for his own T1 line or sent his live show via satellite to his many affiliate stations.
It was a power outage during a typhoon which made doing his live show very difficult. He had backup generators as most do in the Philippines but somehow it then became impossible for him to take live listeners' calls.
Art Bell stayed in the Philippines until his wife's visa was eventually approved.
