Evelyn Melendez and Jordan Knight married in 2004
Evelyn Melendez and Jordan tied the knot on 12 September 2004 after nearly 8 years of dating. They already had welcomed a child in 1999, 5 years before their wedding.
The couple’s wedding was an intimate affair celebrated by just family and close friends in attendance.
In 2002, the couple were rumored to have called it quits but the news was proved fake. However, Jordan admitted in 2011 that he and his spouse separated briefly due to his infidelity.
It happened again in 2016 when Evelyn hit the tabloids and this time their separation had to do with the musician’s infidelity and alcohol abuse.
Some publications claimed that the singer was having an affair with a German female fan.
The couple never discussed the issues publicly and seems to have worked out their differences since then.
Sources revealed that they celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary with a lavish party.
