Ronald Reagan’s daughter, Patti Davis, says her mother, Nancy Reagan, convinced the former president to get married by getting pregnant with her in 1952, according to her upcoming book Dear Mom and Dad: A Letter About Family, Memory, and the America We Once Knew. Ronald Regan had been married to actress Jane Wyman before divorcing her, and according to Davis, had “made a pact” with Wyman that he wouldn’t remarry before she did. Davis wrote that her father was happy playing the field and “was not exactly anxious to get married again.” Davis was born six months after the couple married in March of 1952 and writes “Traveling back, you realize that the whole story of your family is bigger, messier, and often more tender than you once believed.”

Vast majority of women today have zero shame over out of wedlock parentage
In fact they celebrate it
Ronnie and Nancy were formally and publically engaged to be married before Nancy became pregnant.
It was not a marriage caused by pregnancy.
“Davis was born six months after the couple married in March of 1952”
That seems to clear things up.
Freaking evil toxic femininity.
Was addicted to that show when I was a kid!!!
Always has been a conniving, lying bitch...
Michael Reagan, the adopted son, is more loyal.
Posed nude at age 40. An embarrassment but then she had the bod so why not?
Did it again at age 58. You mean I’m not gonna look?
Jessica Hahnposed nude because it ‘made her feel closer to God’. Remember her?
I loved it. Patti Davis is not as screwed up a Cher who married Greg Allman knowing he was a junkie. Look how Chaz turned out. Still these people were born and we are there party of life so it is what it is. Happy New Year my friends! Once again it’s gonna be awesome!.
What does Michael Reagan think of all this?
“Davis was born six months after the couple married in March of 1952”
= = =
That is why Ronals Reagan was such a good president.
He could compress a 9-month task into 6 months.
Ronnie profited on his fathers’ 100th. Wrote a book saying alzheimer’s was present during the WH days. Dad was unavailable for comment.
The daily beast - it’s in the name.
Yes. It’s a bitter irony that a non biological adopted child is more loyal to his parents then their own biological offspring.
NEPO kids...
“Ronald Regan had been married to actress Jane Wyman before divorcing her”
OIRC, Wyman kicked HIM to the curb.
I smell BS. Go back under whatever rock your crawled out from, Patty.
How many here can say that never in their ancestry was there a “had to get married” marriage?
As an ex-president with his regular medical exams from the Mayo clinic, Reagan was diagnosed as having Altzeimer’s in 1994.
Reagan himself spoke about this. He said, “You have to understand. Nancy and I were Democrats back then.”
See post 22.
The Reagans were formally and publicly engaged when Nancy became pregnant.
There was no “had to get married” marriage.
