That is no rumor

Clancy divorced his first wife, Wanda, in 1998 after 27-29 years of marriage (depending on which source you use). The divorce became much more public than TC ever would have liked because of his simultaneous attempts to purchase the Minnesota Vikings. According to Mr. Showbiz News, Mrs. Clancy had filed for divorce two years prior (1996) with the reason given in her petition being that her husband had "committed adultery with one Katherine Huang," who was a New York assistant district attorney he supposedly met on the Internet. This was also reported in MSN Entertainment here. Along with his personal life, Clancy's financial data became public as a result of the Vikings purchase attempt. An article, written by WCCO of Minneapolis, provides many of the details and is available here: Paper Probes Clancy Cash Crunch.

I should have said that I could not attribute it. Thanks for the details.

According to a story in New Jersey Online, Clancy, 52 at the time, married Alexandra Marie Llewellyn, 32, on June 26, 1999. This wedding was also reported in MSN Entertainment here. It was previously reported in the Washington Post that he was to marry a niece of Colin Powell just after the divorce to his first wife was finalized.


According to the Times, the warring Clancys, separated since 1996 (when Marcy learned Tom was having an affair with a younger woman who went by the Internet names "Bin Bin" and "Ping Ping"), have managed to work out several key matters in their split, including custody of the kids and the family Sherman tank.


In 1969, Clancy married a woman named Wanda Thomas, who was an eye surgeon and an insurance agency manager (Speace 98). They had four children, Michelle, Christine, Tom, and Kathleen, and a dog named Freddie (Cohen 115). They lived on 400 wooded acres in Maryland, along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Standing on the front lawn is a tank, given to him as a gift by his wife at the time (Schindehette 114). On the property there are also two tennis courts, two basketball courts, a full length football field and a shooting range (Greenberg 132). In one interview, Clancy was asked if he ever thought of changing houses. Clancy answered, Why should I change? I'm not going to make more money anywhere else (Zaleski 4). In the past 5 years, Clancy had some difficulty in his personal life. In 1995, Wanda Thomas filed for divorce. She had found out that Clancy had been having an affair with a woman named Katherine Huang. The tank that stood on their lawn was then seen as a metaphor for their years of marriage (Schindette 1). I thought our marriage was as fine as most people's, said Wanda, I will always love him in a certain way as the father of my children (Schindette 2). After the divorce, Clancy wanted to marry a lady named Alexandra Llewellyn, a 31 year old former televison reporter. He had been introduced to Llewellyn by one of her relatives, retired Gen. Colin Powell. The two got married on Saturday June 26, 1999, and are now living happily together in Clancy's estate on the Chesapeake Bay. Wanda Thomas received custody of the children, while Clancy pays $6,500 a month is child support
