Jimmy reminded his legion of followers that the couple’s wedding anniversary is on October 10th and wrote, “Today, Nina and I have received many happy anniversary wishes. I’d like to thank you all, but please be aware that our 21st anniversary is on October 10th.”

Nina is actively promoting her beloved husband’s recent shows. She recently announced a Virtual Christmas Show with Jimmy Fortune & Friends on the country singer’s official website, which will take place on December 17, 2020.

Jimmy has been divorced twice.

Although the country music singer currently has a 22-year marriage, he was once rendered hopeless in his personal life after being divorced twice. Moreover, despite his difficulties with his first two wives, the musician never publicly revealed details about them. Neither his wives’ names nor any information about his two marriages is revealed.

However, in February 2020, Jimmy spoke with Cornerstone Television Network and revealed that 1993 was a difficult year for him for a variety of reasons, one of which was a “pretty painful divorce.”

Although the Elizabeth singer doesn’t say much else, he does have children from previous marriages. It is also unknown how many children he had with each of them. According to the Reference website, Jimmy and his second wife had four children.

He has a total of seven children and eleven grandchildren.

During an interview with Cowboys & Indians magazine in September 2019, Jimmy revealed that he had seven children and eleven grandchildren from his three marriages. His seven children are Jessica, Meghann, and Cortney, three daughters, and four sons, Grant, Chris, Matthew, and Jimmy Fortune Jr. However, it is not revealed [as it is with most of his personal life details] from which partner they are born.

Meanwhile, the popular singer regrets not being able to spend more time with them due to time spent “on the road with the Statler Brothers.” But now that he’s in his forties, the Virginia-based artist is devoting more time to his family.
