Oh, guess who's going to be in Philly on May tenth? Ben! Other than Ben? ME! Except I have plans! To go to a concert already! To take Hubby to see the Cure!
Life is baaaaad.
Folds has been married four times, and divorced three times. From 1987 to 1992, he was married to Anna Goodman, who co-wrote the lyrics to several of his songs, including "Alice Childress" (the character in the song is someone in a mental institution who threw mop water on Anna), "The Last Polka" from the album Ben Folds Five, "Smoke" and "Kate" from Whatever and Ever Amen, and "Lullabye" from The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner.
Folds met his second wife, Kate Rosen, in December 1995, and married her in December 1996. She was a lighting operator for Ben Folds Five while they toured. They divorced in December 1997.
He married his third wife, Australian photographer Frally Hynes, in May 1999. The former couple had two children, Louis Frances and Gracie Scott. Hynes has recorded several of Folds's music videos, including "Still Fighting It" which also starred the couple's son Louis, and directed the video for "Landed." Hynes sang back-up vocals on the song "Gone" from Rockin' the Suburbs, contributed to "Root to This" on Fear of Pop: Volume 1, and can be heard on the end of the track "Dog" on 2003's Speed Graphic (EP). She is also featured on the cover to Ben Folds' EP Super D, released in 2004. They divorced in April of 2007.
Ben's fouth wife, is named Fluer and she hails from the UK.
This is just so odd! They divorced in April of 2007? And in April of 2008 remarried? Ooh, I'd be pissed if I was Frally. Fourth wife? Really? My word. Is he really that awful to be married to? Four wives? All over the world? What is the matter with him? Really? Wow. I just can't seem to wrap my head around all of this. For two reasons. 1) Four wives? Really? and, 2) how did I not know?
Wow.
