Marriage And Children

Blumhardt reportedly met her future husband in the late 1980s at a restaurant called City Avenue in Pennsylvania. The two dated for a short amount of time and tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 1989.

Whatever troubles they had faced in the early days of their relationship did not stop their love from blossoming. The couple's love has continued to grow over the years, and after over three decades of marriage, they seem to be happier than ever. The pair have mostly kept their relationship away from the media, but on rare occasions, Charles has talked about his wife and stated that marriage has changed his life.
