PAULA DEEN AND MICHAEL GROOVER – 16 YEARS

This year, Paula Deen and Michael Groover are about to celebrate their 16 years of marriage. After Deen’s official separation from her first husband, Jimmy Deen, in 1989, it took her a long while to tie the knot again. Fortunately, she met someone like Groover, who is a tugboat captain in Savannah, GA, where he and his wife live. He is now 64 years old and nine years younger than Deen. However, their age gap is never an issue. Deen has a joyous personality especially when she’s around her Georgia farm; it truly brings out the joy in her. Her marriage proved to us that if we made a mistake in the past, that doesn’t mean we can no longer have a lasting second chance at a future.

Everything started when Deen’s dogs got out and went to Groover’s yard. After that day, they immediately went on a date on his new boat. Surely, Groover filled his boat with gas so that nothing could interrupt their day out, credits to his superman skills and his love for his woman.
