Who is Debra Lynn Godfrey, baseball star Roger Clemens’ wife? The Trump-backing athlete was once invited to run for Congress – his wife is mum to his 4 sons, but their 40-year marriage is scandalous
Roger Clemens had a long-term affair with the late country singer Mindy McCready, reportedly beginning when she was 15 years old; he and his wife were also embroiled in a steroid controversy
“Whoever said, ‘I’m leaving America if Trump wins,’ … don’t let the door hit you in the a** on the way out,” Clemens, 62, wrote.
Clemens was once invited to run for Congress by the Republican Party in Texas. He is a seven-time winner of the Cy Young Award, given to the best pitchers in Major League Baseball, and has lived in Houston for decades with his wife Debra Lynn Godfrey, 61, and their four sons.
The former New York Yankees star is known for his abrasive communication style on and off the pitch, but what do we know about his wife of four decades, Debra “Debbie” Lynn Godfrey, and their marriage, which has been marred by controversy?
She was a career woman
In the 1990s, Godfrey worked on TV shows including 60 Minutes, SportsCentury and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, per Sportskeeda.
In 2004, she launched her own custom-designed denim jacket line called JacketHappy.
She’s been married to Roger Clemens for 40 years
Godfrey and Clemens have been married since 1984, and have four sons; Koby, 37, Kory, 36, Kacy, 30, and Kody, 28. The boys were all given “K” names to honour their baseball player dad’s strikeouts, also known as “K’s”.
