Williams was said to have met his better half in the winter of his life and knew she was the one meant for him. After surviving a terrifying health ordeal and seeing his marriage of 30 years come to an end, he still believes, \u201cIt\u2019s never too late to get it right!\u201d<\/p>\n

MaHarry has been running a successful career as a seasoned real estate agent and has also dabbled in advertising and writing. She holds a degree in English from Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia.<\/p>\n

Earlier, she served as the senior vice president and creative director at Young and Rubicam Advertising Agency in New York. She has also written the book, \u201cCrazy Mama: A Memoir of Love and Madness.\u201d She has one daughter, Lindsay, who works as a journalist in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Williams married MaHarry in Ojai, California, a small town where he moved in 2011 to enjoy a quiet, peaceful life. Talking about his decision to leave Los Angeles at the time, the \u201cMelrose Place\u201d alum expressed how he wanted his kids to live in a fail-safe community.<\/p>\n

Back then, he only went to Ojai occasionally or on weekends but fell in love with its people and ambiance. Gradually, Williams started visiting the place more often with his family and moved there permanently.<\/p>\n

In addition to falling in love with Ojai\u2019s loving community and safe environment, the place reportedly offered Williams a tranquil respite from his personal woes. He further mentioned:<\/p>\n

\u201cI owe a lot to Ojai for that, for my health, my sanity, and the ability to move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams has been married twice before\u2014he tied the knot with Lorrie Mahaffey in 1978 and called it quits in 1986. His second marriage was to Jackie Gerkens, and after staying together for over three decades and sharing five kids, there was trouble in paradise for the duo. Initially, they broke up but changed their minds soon after and decided to give their relationship another chance.<\/p>\n

The duo first ventured on the divorce road in September 2019; however, a month later, Williams was reportedly in court to file for a dismissal. However, nine months later, things turned odd, and the couple finally divorced in 2020.
\n
\nIn addition to a rocky love life, Williams endured a harrowing health battle. A little before Christmas 2016, he received his Stage 2 colon cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Soon afterward, he had two surgeries and stayed in the hospital for three weeks. Not only did he emerge victorious in his battle against the life-threatening condition, but he also gained a new perspective on life.<\/p>\n

After understanding his purpose for living, Williams said he developed a newfound love and appreciation for his family, including his children and grandchildren. He expressed:<\/p>\n

\u201cI always knew I loved them, and they were important, but now it\u2019s at a whole new level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, Williams is a doting grandfather to four grandkids and a married man, and we hope he continues to celebrate life and create precious memories!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
