Chuck Norris’ love story- his wife
At the time of his death, Norris had been married to Gena O’Kelley for over 26 years. The two first crossed paths in Dallas in 1997 while Norris was out on a dinner date with someone else entirely.
The couple married on November 28, 1998, and built a life together that went well beyond the spotlight.
And in 2001, Norris and O’Kelley welcomed twins, a son, Dakota Alan and a daughter, Danilee Kelley who were born on August 30.
