Who Knew Rudy Was Judi's Third Hubby?

2007_03_judirudy.jpgWell, we guess this means they are really truly soulmates (!): Judith Giuliani tells Post and Daily News that Rudy Giuliani is her third husband, not her second as most people thought. To the Post, she said, "Something I will share with you is that, since I haven't done (many) interviews .. Rudy and I have both been married three times." We can see it now: The Giuliani spin machine goes with a "The Third Time's a Charm" message!

Judi, whose maiden name was Stish, married Jeffrey Scott Ross in 1974 and divorced him in 1979, when she married Bruce Nathan. The marriage to Nathan lasted for 15 years, and then she met the former mayor in 1999. She told the News that first husband Ross "was a terrific guy." And you better believe Rudy knew all about her marriages:

Asked whether Rudy was aware of the marriage, Judith said, “Of course! One of the things that Rudy and I have in common is we were both married three times before. At this stage in life, we believe in the institution of marriage. We appreciate the value of marriage,” she said with a self deprecating chuckle.

“Hopefully if you learn anything from being married before, it's that you learn from your mistakes. We look forward to growing old together."

While some conservatives will probably seize upon this, it's sort of anti-climactic. If she was married to her second cousin, though...

The Giulianis have vamped it up for Harper's Bazaar and are dealing with their blended family. And for fun, here's Rudy and Judi's NY Times Vows column.

It is interesting how society can change in just one generation.

A few decades ago, being divorced just once would eliminate any candidate. Even religion or gender or race could instantly elimiate someone from being a formidable contender.

But in just one generation we now have running three mainstream candidates that during their chidhood years, could not even dream of seeing others then, accomplish what they are accomplishing now.

Guess this means she'll be marrying John McCain next... or Barack Obama?

With every marriage her left eye strays a little farther off course (that's a metaphor, son).

it's not that ridic, she married the first one when she was 20, so of course that didn't last. It hardly counts. And then the second one was 15 years...not like a fly by night sorta thing.

Seriously... why do people even get married?
