It’s been almost two years since Richard Marx and Daisy Fuentes said “I do” in a romantic Aspen wedding, and their love seems to be growing stronger with every passing day. In an exclusive chat with Closer Weekly, the legendary singer opened up about his marriage to Daisy, sharing how he never imagined he’d find love again after his first 25-year marriage. But life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn’t it?
Think about it—when you least expect it, love comes knocking. That’s exactly what happened to Richard and Daisy. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s refreshing to hear stories like theirs, where love deepens over time rather than fading.
Wait, did you hear? Steven Tyler might be engaged to his 28-year-old girlfriend Aimee Preston. Crazy, right?

Richard revealed that both he and Daisy had their doubts about love when they first met. “Daisy has had meaningful relationships, and I was married for a quarter of a century. Neither of us thought we'd find this kind of love again. But here we are, constantly surprised by how deep our bond grows with each passing day,” he said. At 53, Richard admits he’s falling more in love with Daisy every single day. “At our age, being this crazy in love is just... fun!”

Daisy, now 50, agrees wholeheartedly. “Everything is better because of him,” she said, highlighting the strength of their union. Their love story is proof that age is just a number when it comes to love.
After tying the knot in Aspen in a surprise ceremony on December 23, 2015, Richard and Daisy didn’t stop there. A few months later, they hosted a second reception in LA on February 4 to include everyone who couldn’t make it to the intimate first ceremony. According to reality star Karent Sierra, “When they got married in Aspen, it was very small and intimate — just her parents, her sister, and nephews, along with his mom and his three sons. This reception was a chance to bring everyone into their joy.”

Guests at the LA event were treated to a Winter Wonderland theme, complete with cozy vibes and plenty of love. “They kept kissing each other and looking at one another adoringly throughout the night,” a source revealed. “Even in a room full of people, there were moments where they seemed completely alone. They appear very much in love.”
Before finding love with Richard, Daisy was married to actor and model Timothy Adams from 1991 to 1995. She was also once engaged to singer/songwriter Matt Goss in 2003, though that relationship didn’t last. On Richard’s side, he was married to Dirty Dancing star Cynthia Rhodes from 1989 to 2014. Together, they have three adult sons: Lucas, Jesse, and Brandon.
