1962, Gingrich married Jackie Battley, his former high school geometry teacher, when he was 19 years old; she was seven years his senior at 26 years old. [2] They had two daughters together.
Anne Manning had an affair with Gingrich in 1977. Manning stated in a 1995 Vanity Fair article: "We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say: 'I never slept with her.'" [4]
Gingrich divorced Jackie Battley in 1980, serving her with divorce papers and forcing her to negotiate the terms of their divorce settlement while she was in the hospital after cancer surgery. He refused to pay alimony or child support.
Gingrich married Marianne Ginther in late 1981. They divorced in 1999, reportedly because of Marianne's dislike of Washington and Gingrich's time away from home. Marianne was quoted in a 1995 article in Vanity Fair as saying: "I don't want him to be president and I don't think he should be." He divorced her.
He later married, and, cheated on her, too.
