Jerry Lee Lewis has married for the seventh time.
At a quiet ceremony in Natchez, Mississippi, the ‘Great Balls Of Fire’ singer wed Judith Brown, who is the ex-wife of one of his cousins. Lewis and Brown, who is in her early sixties, have spent the last three weeks touring Louisiana and Mississippi together.
For two years, Brown has served as the singer’s caregiver. Previously, she was married to Rusty, Lewis’ cousin, but their marriage ended in divorce in 2010.
In a scandalous turn of events in 1957, Lewis married Rusty’s older sister, Myra Gale Brown, when she was just 13. This was his third marriage, and they stayed married for 13 years.
The singer’s most recent marriage concluded in 2004 when he and Kerrie McCarver divorced after two decades together.
In 2010, Lewis revealed a book deal with It Books, part of HarperCollins. Alberto Rojas, the publicity director for It Books, confirmed that the deal is still active and that Lewis’ memoir is set to be published in 2013.
