Mick Fleetwood, the 78-year-old drummer and co-founder of Fleetwood Mac, has tied the knot for the fifth time. He and his new wife, Elizabeth, are currently honeymooning in Tahiti, with Fleetwood sharing photos on Instagram and writing, “The South Pacific does its magic!!! A honeymoon with my love Elizabeth… creating moments to be remembered!!”
Elizabeth, 56, is over two decades younger than Fleetwood, but she is not the first to fall for the 6’5” musician. Fleetwood Mac is known for the tumultuous love affairs that inspired their best-selling records, and Fleetwood’s own romantic history is equally dramatic, having been married five times to four different women.
His first wife was model Jenny Boyd, whom he met when they were both 16 in London. They married in 1970, but divorced in 1976 after Boyd had an affair with guitarist Bob Weston. Fleetwood later remarried Boyd briefly to help their daughters emigrate to the US, but they split for good in 1978 after Fleetwood’s affair with bandmate Stevie Nicks emerged.
Fleetwood’s affair with Nicks began after she and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band in 1975. In his memoir, Fleetwood wrote: “Eventually I fell in love with her and it was chaotic… a crazy love affair that went on longer than any of us really remember.” The relationship ended when Fleetwood began an affair with Sara Recor, Nicks’ best friend, who later became his second wife in 1988. They divorced in 1995.
That same year, Fleetwood married PR executive Lynn Frankel, with whom he had twin daughters. The marriage lasted two decades, ending in divorce in 2015. Fleetwood’s fifth marriage to Elizabeth marks another chapter in his storied romantic life.
