Rudy Giuliani's wife made a shocking revelation that stunned even those close to the White House hopeful - he isn't her second husband, but her third. "....Rudy and I have both been married three times," Judith told The Post. It was the first time she has publicly disclosed the bombshell information. Several longtime Giuliani supporters said they had thought he was her second husband, and profiles about Judith Giuliani - who has revealed little about herself - have always referred to her as twice-married.
Rudy Giuliani, 62, learned about his wife's first husband early in their relationship, she and her aides said. The revelation comes at a time when the former mayor's political opponents are attempting to make an issue of his marital history, especially among social conservatives..........the first of her husbands was Jeffrey Scott Ross. She married him on Dec. 8, 1974, shortly after she was certified as a nurse, records show. Records show they were divorced in Florida in 1979, which is reportedly the same year she married husband No, 2, Bruce Nathan. News of the Ross marriage highlighted how little has been known about Judith and how quiet she has remained since her relationship with Giuliani became public in May 2000, while he was still married to second wife Donna Hanover.
Past profiles based on interviews with friends, including a New York Times piece in 2001, described Judith meeting Bruce Nathan "soon after" she got her nursing degree from Penn State in 1974, and marrying him in 1979. The profiles make no mention of Ross. She called her current husband "a beauty" repeatedly throughout the interview......Judi also said she's been taking part in the campaign's policy briefings.

Here's some background on mega-bridegroom, Rudy----reported in excruciating detail in NYC print and broadcast media.
Serial adulterer Rudy threw himself into the Playboy "Sex is Everything" lifestyle, early-on as he searched for perfect extra-marital sex (while he was mayor, and while he was still married).
Within six months of being elected Mayor, Rudy's photo was splashed on the front page of the New York Daily News buying clothing for Christyne Lategano, his "mayoral aide" (that's kinda like being a WH intern but with New York-style kneepads).
Giuliani in heat was anything but subtle. He took girlfriend Lategano to baseball games WITH his kids, until his wife had had it----news pictures still exist of Lategano and the married Mayor in restaurants across the city (not having sex, though. That came after the photogs left, and in City Hall, no less, according to Hanover's own eyewitness report after a surprise visit to her husband's Mayoral office).
Lategano may have been hot in a tight clinch, but she was widely disliked for her rank incompetence and arrogance. Giuliani finally dumped her for newer sexual thrills, but she got paid off for heating up the Mayor's libido with an apartment and a cushy city job, arranged when Rudy dumped his appointee and loyalist, liberal honcho, Fran Reiter, from the job so Lategano could run the city's Tourist and Visitor's Bureau at $250K a year.
By 1998, Rudy had a new mistress (now his wife) and apparently was in the throes of sexual Valhalla, getting sexually blitzed every chance he could as a busy big-city Mayor. He took his sexual plaything to a restaurant a few blocks from Gracie Mansion--so that his children and their friends would know about it. By 2000, Rudy's sex life was getting lots of newsplay. Married Rudy was squiring his mistress Judi Nathan to city parades and other Mayoral public events. (As one astute FReeper noted---goodness, gracious, great balls of fire. The thrills just never let up for the gun-grabbing mayor.)
Rudy then called a press conference to publicly announce his separation from his wife EXCEPT THAT HE HAD NOT BOTHERED TO TELL HANOVER BEFOREHAND. "Nice guy." Rudy then publicly announced to the press his separation from his wife WITHOUT EVEN TELLING HANOVER. At the time, Rudy was taking his mistress---not his wife--- to cancer treatment sessions. He never bothered to tell his wife about his illness. Rudy then decided he could not live with his sex playmate out of his reach, and planned to bring his mistress Judi into the Mayoral home (on the spurious claim that Hanover wasn't helping him through cancer treatments---an illness he had not even bothered to tell his wife about).
Rudy announced he wanted to "divide the mayoral home" in two, for his wife AND mistress---a transparent ploy to force his wife and children out into the streets. Hanover was forced to go to court to declare Gracie Mansion the marital home so as to exclude Rudy's sex playmate. The judge acquiesced to Hanover's plea.
Thwarted but not defeated, Rudy moved in with a happily civil unioned gay couple (apparently also in the throes of sexual blitz-dom), while his wife fended off his relentless efforts to ditch her. On Mother's day 2000, while still married, Rudy publicly paraded his mistress up and down Second Avenue for newspaper pictures. The evilness of this marital betrayal astonished even blase New Yorkers.
Giuliani's vendetta against his wife and children was still not sated. He cut the mother of his children's official security detail......but he provided government security to his mistress Judi who had no {{ahem}} official duties unless you consider getting Rudy sexually blitzed to be an "official duty".
Walking proof that the "50% of all US marriages end in divorce" chesnut isn't exactly right.
My, my, my...how desperate can you get?
Ho-hummmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won't be voting for him anyway.
So, the NYT got one wrong - there's a bombshell for ya.
Meanwhile, Al Qaeda is positively gleeful knowing that "conservatives" might use this against Rudy.
So what.
Bombshell? Is that like a "roller-coaster ride" or a "horrific" event or perhaps like something "sky rocketing"? Writers sure can regurgitate a collection of over-used platitudes. zzzzzzzzzzzzz
At least he married these women, unlike Gingrich the sexual predator and recent Christian pretender. Still, it is all so distasteful. We have such lousy choices this time around. Has there been a decent choice since Reagan?
The 'Bombshell' is that it took 'investigative journalism' at least 4 years to discover this.
I like the Mayor!
Well. Well. Well.
Three times.
Get a life.
You think Rudy's the only one who wants to fight Al Qaeda?
So, Rudy's a third mate on a tramp steamer.
Oh puleeze, all this Rudy fuss over things that happened years ago.
*points to tagline*
Judi Giuliani announced Rudeo is her Third---count 'em---THIRD husband.
