Gordon Farr is best known as the husband of television personality Hilary Farr. His relationship status after his bitter divorce from Hilary Farr has always been a source of curiosity for fans. So, let’s find out about his marriage and relationships? Who is Lynne Farr, to whom Gordon has been married since at least the 1970s?
Let’s dig deeper into Gordon Farr Wikipedia, where we cover details about his age, son, and ex-wife.
Is Gordon Farr Still Married to Hilary Farr?
No. Gordon Farr was married to Hilary Farr. They got married in 1982. Gordon and Hilary’s marriage lasted only twenty-six years and they divorced in 2008. According to Cinemaholic, they had a whirlwind romance. During that time, they had only one son, Josh. Hilary told Notable Life in 2013 that she felt extremely bitter and resentful after going through a “horrible, horrible divorce.”
At the time their marriage ended, rumors of them dating co-host David Visentin were circulating the internet. And, they have reportedly been together ever since. (caldwell.edu)
Hilary has been linked to David because of their HGTV show. They have had a lot of laughs together. That has led fans to jump to the conclusion that they might be seeing each other. To refute dating rumors, she has also claimed that David is her ‘annoying brother’. She even told the Star Tribune in 2017, “We’re good friends. But sometimes it’s like having a brother around. He’s annoying but you make each other laugh.”
But in the end, it could all be just a rumor because David is happily married to his wife Krista Grycko-Visentin. They got married in 2006 and have a son together named Logan.
So, as of this writing, Hilary is still single and even if she is dating someone, she keeps her relationship private.
Who is Gordon Farr’s new wife?
It seems that after his marriage to Hilary ended, Gordon Farr married another woman, his second wife, Lynne Farr. In a 2009 interview with the National Post (SharonDunn.com), Gordon revealed that he was married to Lynne. When speaking about The Love Boat, he stated, “It was a hit, we were a hit. Today is June 6, the anniversary of my arrival in LA, and my wife, Lynne, said, ‘We should thank John Bassett because if he hadn’t fired you, you wouldn’t be here. [in his Hawaiian beach house, paid for with the money he made from The Love Boat]“.’”
So we know that he was married at that time.
Gordon created The Love Boat with his wife, Lynne. According to IMDB, Lynne Farr or Lynne Farr Brao is also a television producer and writer. Some of her notable works include The Love Boat, The Bob Newhart Show, Bagdad Cafe, We Got It Made, Love, American Style, and several others. She was also nominated for an award in 1977 for Outstanding Comedy Series for her work on The Bob Newhart Show.
So based on that, we know that Gordon Farr and Lynne Farr have known each other for a very long time. Since Lynne used her last name Farr in 1977, she must have been married to Gordon Farr at that time. So his relationship status is in doubt.
