What happened to Rory Lee Feek’s first wife?

Rory Lee Feek is an American singer, writer and filmmaker. He was born on 25th April 1965 in Atchison, Kansas.

On August 3, 1985, Feek married Tamara Gilmer, with whom they had two daughters; Heidi and Hopie. But the couple got divorced on March 25, 1992. Feek then remarried Joey Marie Martin, a fellow singer, who became Joey Feek, on getting married to Rory Feek.

Not much is known about Tamara Gilmer. This is because she moved away from the spotlight after her divorce from Rory Feek, though she kept in touch because of her children. As of 2018, her net worth was estimated to be over $1 million.

This was partial as a result of the divorce settlement gained due to the success of her former husband. Rory’s net worth is valued at about $3 million.

There have been rumors that Tamara Gilmer is dead. However, it is possible that it may have been a mix-up. A funeral site provided that one Tamara Kim Gilmer passed away on October 20, 2015.

However, the information on the site does not add up, as the personal information provided that she had an only son named Jacob Besaw, rather than her two daughters with Rory Feek.
