Kay, 93, open to Matthew’s late father, Jim McConaugheyIn a recent interview with Austin lifestyleTurning to their unusual wedding history: they were twice divorced and three times married to each other for a period of 39 years.
“Not many people can say this,” Kay told the publication. “I had three traditional real weddings, once in the Presbyterian Church, once in the Catholic Church and once in the Methodist Church.”
Before I exchanged promises for the first time, Jim “couldn’t decide whether he wanted to marry or not. I met him in college and we were pretty tight, but he couldn’t decide. I knew he loved me, but if we didn’t get married, I could go back to New York and a model. “
“So,” she continued, “I sent him an invitation to his wedding, and I said that if you could do it, but if you don’t appear on the altar, then it’s over and I’m going to New York.” But he appeared. Not that he didn’t love me, he just couldn’t decide. And I don’t think he wanted to get married at the time, but I wanted to get married! “
Kay and Jim had three children: Michael, Patrick and Matthew, who became a movie star in the 1990s. According to Kay, she did not expect to become pregnant with Matthew.
“In fact, he was such a surprise that my friend took me to the hospital to make Matthew and Jim McConaughey say,” Well, I don’t know if it’s my son, “and I said,” Then don’t appear and see if he is your son, ”Kay said Austin lifestyleS “But he did it, he decided to come and see the baby, and I said, ‘What do you think? “And he came around. I mean, which other baby would it be? “
Jim died in 1992 and a few years later Kay caused a long-term romance with a businessman Clyde “cj” carligwhom she calls “my soul mate. He was so kind, a thoughtful man and we were together for 17 years until he died of leukemia ”in 2017.
Kay and Carlig never walked down the path. She didn’t want to, and “she was just so happy that I had two men in my life I really loved.”
Matthew’s 55-year-old discussed his parents’ relationships earlier, telling Barbara Walters In an interview since 2006 That they “would say this to a joke, but there is also a truth about it. They both said at different times, “Well blue, I love your mother. Six days a week. And Mom said the same: “I love your father six days a week.” This did not mean that they did not like each other on the seventh day; This means that they said you need to have time for yourself, you cannot lose yourself. “
