Who is Mick Fleetwood's spouse? Mick is best known as the frontman and drummer of the rock band Fleetwood Mac. He began his music career in the 1960s and has hit several milestones. Despite having a successful career, his love life is quite the opposite.
Mick has lived most of his life in the spotlight with a career spanning over five decades. He is the founding member of the iconic band Fleetwood Mac.
He has achieved a lot in his career, including being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and winning the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution the same year.

Even so, Mick has had ups and downs regarding his love life, including being in a love triangle with a fellow band member. While Mick has had three failed marriages, the 75-year-old hasn't given up on love. Here is what we know about Mick Fleetwood's wives.
Mick Fleetwood Was Married to Jenny Boyd Twice, but Affairs Ruined Both Marriages
Jenny Boyd was Mick Fleetwood's wife. She is the younger sister of former model Pattie Boyd, George Harrison's first wife. The two met in school, and Jenny was 15, a year younger than Mick.
In Jenny Boyd's book, "Jennifer Juniper: A Journey Beyond the Muse," she explained she and Mick connected instantly because they had similar backgrounds. Their fathers were pilots and they had both lived in foreign countries as kids. Even so, the pair went on to have a turbulent relationship despite being married twice.

Their first marriage was between 1970 and 1976. After sorting out their differences, they remarried in 1977 during a tour in Ireland with the hope of making their marriage work.
In Jenny's book, she said Mick lived in his world and was primarily focused on the band and not his marriage. At one point, he suggested they live together with the rest of the band members.
According to the legal documents, Mick requested joint custody of their twin daughters, Tessa and Ruby but wanted Frankel to have physical custody of them.
Jenny, a model-turned-author wasn't thrilled with the idea; "I wanted to start a family, not a commune," she said. When Jenny gave birth to their first child, Mick went on an extended tour to promote the band's album. While he was away, Jenny became lonely, which led her to have an affair with Bob Weston, the band's guitarist.
When Mick found out, he fired Weston, and soon after, Jenny dumped the guitarist and returned to her husband. In her book, Jenny Boyd said she regretted cheating on her husband. She explained:
"The affair I had with Bob, I feel so guilty about it. It took me many years to get over it because it was so against my nature. I'm naturally a monogamous person."
While Mick had many affairs, the one that pained her the most was his tryst with Steve Nicks. After Mick confessed to Jenny about the affair, she didn't talk to Nicks for many years but eventually forgave her.
According to Jenny Boyd, both marriages resulted in feelings of loneliness, jealousy, rage, and loss of identity, eventually leading them to drug addiction. The pair ended their second marriage in 1978 and have since remained friends. They share two daughters, Amy and Lucy.
Stevie Nicks Felt Betrayed after Mick Fleetwood Married Her Close Friend Sara Recor
Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood continued seeing each other after he divorced Jenny. At the same time, Nicks was also dating Don Henley, founding member of the rock band Eagles.

During Oprah's masterclass, Nicks talked about her affair with Mick and said it began after they attended a party and were both drunk. But their affair was short-lived. Nicks' best friend, Sara Recor, fell for Mick, and the two began having an affair while Sara was still married to Jim Recor.
When Nicks found out about the affair, it broke her heart, and she felt betrayed. As a result, she wrote the hit song "Sara," which tells the story of her dear friend and their love triangle. Sara eventually left her husband for Mick, and they moved in together.
According to Sara, Mick told her that he and Nicks were not together when they began their affair. In 1988, Sara officially became Mick Fleetwood's spouse, but their marriage only lasted a few years. The pair eventually divorced in 1992.

Mick Fleetwood's Last Marriage to Lynn Frankel Was His Longest, but It Also Ended with a Divorce
After Mick divorced Sara, he met Lynn Frankel in 1993. The duo dated for two years, and Frankel officially became Mick Fleetwood's wife in 1995. They were married for almost 20 years, and this was Mick's longest marriage, but it didn't last a lifetime.
In 2013, the drummer filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. According to the legal documents, Mick requested joint custody of their twin daughters, Tessa and Ruby but wanted Frankel to have physical custody of them.
Mick also asked the judge to grant him sole control of music royalties. The pair finalized their divorce in 2013. In the course of Mick's career, the Grammy Award winner has been able to form friendships with fellow artists, including English singer Harry Styles. He met him while attending the singer's concert with his daughters, who are Styles' fans.
It seems Mick has remained single since divorcing Lynn Frankel, as he hasn't been seen with a new partner nor publicized anything concerning his love life. He is more focused on his career and reconciling with his former bandmates.
