Merle Haggard was married five times and had six children with them. After marrying then divorcing singer-songwriter and wife number two Bonnie Owens, Haggard went on to fall in love with and marry country music star Leona Williams.
One of her top charting songs was actually a duet with Merle, called The Bull and the Beaver. Interestingly though, Bonnie Owens was maid of honor for Haggard and Williams’s wedding!

Merle and Leona ended up divorcing after five years of what was deemed a harsh and stormy marriage. The two continued as a songwriting team, with Williams’s single “We’re Strangers Again” really marking the downwards spiral of her short lived marriage with Haggard.
It’s crazy to think that while these two split up and went their separate ways, ex-wife Bonnie was always in the picture, being a backup singer for Merle until her death in 2006! Merle Haggard passed away in 2016.
