Who is Sharon Smith? Meet Mike Leach Wife! Her Biography, Age, Profession

Sharon Smith was nervous and stiff! Her husband of more than three decades, Mike Leach, is currently in “critical” condition in the hospital.

So while we wait for the real miracle to happen, let’s learn all about Mike Leach’s wife in this Sharon Smith Biography.

Meet Sharon Smith, Mike Leach’s wife

Sharon Smith first met Mike Leach while they were studying at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. It appears that Sharon’s sister married one of Mike’s former roommates, and the two got to know each other after that.

Yes, they were friends for a while before getting engaged.

Reminiscing about the old days, Mike said he used to go to Sharon’s house in the King Henry Apartments to watch TV with her and her roommates. Sharon’s favorite show back then was MASH while Mike preferred Gunsmoke. Joking about the matter, Mike added, “It was almost blasphemous to anything American and I tried to get them back on track, and I think I succeeded. Sharon was a pretty tough case, so I had to marry her where I could keep an eye on her a lot more often.”

For their first date, Mike took Sharon to the A&W in Provo after a football game. And surprisingly, he pulled out a 2-for-1 coupon book and told her “here’s the menu.” Well, despite being a risky move, the gamble clearly paid off.

Sharon even joked that their first date wasn’t planned and it only happened because Mike was hungry. “Maybe he had a two-for-one coupon and I was the recipient,” she explained.

Fast forward to the mid-80s, the duo then tied the knot in a wedding ceremony officiated by Sharon. Recalling his memories of planning, Mike joked that “women lose their minds” when it comes to wedding planning and that grooms cannot give the “right answer” to anything . He even advises grooms to largely stay out of the planning and “stay as far away from any danger as possible.”
