    She may have been the one woman in David's life whose relationship with him lasted longer than any of his marriages. And, she may have been the only one who never wanted to marry him. Yet, Sherry Williams-Benedon - mother of his first child - remained largely in the shadows. Who is she? How did they meet? Why did they never marry? And how did she raise their child, the actor Katie Cassidy, a third generation Cassidy talent? The world has never heard from her, but they will now, with Benedon's first-ever interview.

  • Meryl Tanz (Wife #2) - Part 1

    Meryl Tanz (Wife #2) - Part 1
    Mar 17 2022

    In his autobiography, David Cassidy describes her as strikingly attractive and "lookin' for love." In the first episode of Season Two, South African horse breeder Meryl Tanz describes meeting the number one American heartthrob of the time, how he asked her to dance, how he sang to her, and how they fell in love on their first date. Their marriage may have only lasted from 1984 to 1988, but Meryl's insights about Cassidy are unlike anything you've ever heard. This marks Ms. Tanz's first and (to date) only interview ever given about her marriage to the pop icon, and results in information never before publicly revealed. Leave your thoughts and opinions on our Facebook page also called "My Life with David Cassidy," and read fellow fans observations about this historic interview. Please also leave us a review!
