As Cheat Sheet advises, Bradshaw wed Charla Hopkins the very same year his second divorce was finalized. The football star and family attorney were married for close to 20 years and had two children together, the first of which, Rachel, was born in 1987, followed by Erin just a few years later. Sadly, this union didn't work out either and Bradshaw's third divorce was finalized in 1999.

Such negative experiences understandably put the former athlete off marriage completely, leaving Bradshaw questioning whether it was necessarily for him. Around that same time, however, he happened to meet Tammy, then Tammy Alice. The two were both working through painful divorces and found solace in each other's company — but they decided to take things slow. Meanwhile, through extensive counseling, Bradshaw ultimately came to realize, "all my [ex-]wives were the same, and it wasn't good!" as he related to Closer Weekly.
