At the link I posted her first husband said he was from Texas.
Oh, and that they lived together in England, after a few years got divorced. They both continued to reside there. She had a baby out of wedlock after being divorced from husband 1 (which Ted falsely said, in his bio book, to be a child of husband 1 and mother) after the two of them were divorced. He never knew she was preggers until a hospital staffer told him. Mother Cruz had the baby buried (it died in infancy of sudden crib death) in England before moving back to the states - where she quickly met and married father Cruz. Ted was born soon after.
One thing they do have in common is stating that she used her ex husband's name on her son's birth certificate after she had remarried. That's just.... weird.
