What Is Mark Cuban’s Net Worth After 12 Years of ‘Shark Tank’?

Megan Elliott — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 13:04:00 +0000

Mark Cuban is giving up his seat at the table. The investor and longtime Shark Tank star has announced he’s leaving the popular ABC reality show. The move comes not long after his decision to sell a majority stake in the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks for $3.5 billion.

Mark Cuban is worth $6.2 billion

Cuban, 65, is no stranger to big money moves. He built his wealth in the early years of the dot-com boom thanks to Broadcast.com, which he founded with Todd Wagner in 1995. He cashed out at the right time, selling it to Yahoo in 1999 for $5.7 billion.

Later, Cuban went on to buy the Mavericks for $285 million. More recently, he cofounded Cost Plus Drugs, which aims to lower prescription drug prices. In 2011, he joined the cast of Shark Tank.

Cuban’s various entrepreneurial endeavors and investments have netted him an impressive net worth. As of 2023, he was worth an estimated $6.2 billion, according to Forbes. That puts him at No. 222 on the Forbes 400 list and No. 591 on the list of world billionaires.

Why is Mark Cuban leaving ‘Shark Tank’?

Though Cuban has said he loves doing Shark Tank, he decided to move on for personal reasons. The dad of three wants to spend more time with his family. His last season with Shark Tank will be in 2025.

“I just want to have a couple summers with my teens before they go off on their own,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in an email. “Nothing to do with the show. I love it. I love being on it. I love what [it] represents and how it motivates entrepreneurs around the world.”

Since joining Shark Tank, Cuban has invested $29 million in at least 85 companies that pitched their business on the show, according to Forbes. They include DinoDon, which manufactures robotic dinosaurs; Wild Earth, a line of plant-based dog food; and Dude Wipes, which makes flushable toilet wipes for men.

In addition to shaking things up at Shark Tank, Cuban is making huge waves in the world of sports with his decision to sell the Mavericks to the family of Miriam Adelson. She is the widow of casino bigwig Sheldon Adelson, who founded Las Vegas Sands. Cuban will remain in control of basketball operations.

Selling the Mavs is part of a larger plan to bring a casino resort and legalized sports betting to Texas, ESPN reports. While many states have legalized sports betting in recent years, it’s still banned in the Lone Star State. A handful of tribal casinos in Texas offer slot machines, poker, and bingo. But they can’t have table games such as blackjack or craps. Cuban wants to change that.

“My goal, and we’d partner with Las Vegas Sands, is when we build a new arena it’ll be in the middle of a resort and casino,” Cuban told The Dallas Morning News in 2022. “That’s the mission.”

Cuban said he hoped to turn Texas into an in-demand vacation destination.

“There’s no destination resort in Texas where, if you’re living in Pittsburgh or Indiana or Chicago, you say, ‘Hey, honey, we’re saving money to take the family to Texas,’ ” he said.

“Texas is such an amazing state that we need to be a destination,” Cuban added. “And this is the way to do it. And partnering with the Sands Corporation, literally there’s no reason why we can’t build a huge resort destination in the city proper of Dallas. There’s plenty of places to do it.”

Brittany Mahomes is so happy about her ‘genuine’ friendship with Swift

Lately Swift has become a fixture at Chiefs games and everyone in the stadium wants to meet and be seen with the songbird … even former players like Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar.

He told Audacy’s 92.3 The Fan‘s Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima that meeting Swift was “Flat out amazing [and] to see what a nice genuine person she is and to see the unbelievable talent … and to see she is even a better person was very cool.”

Hanging with the recording artist every week is a reality for Brittany and a source close to Patrick’s wife agreed with Kosar that Swift is so “genuine” and Brittany is over the moon that they have become friends.

“Brittany is thrilled to be building a genuine friendship with Taylor,” the source said via Us Weekly, adding, “They have grown fairly close in a short period of time. They get along really great. The fact that Patrick and Travis are best friends makes things even better. They have a blast and love cheering on their men together.”

Who has the higher net worth?

Brittany is married to one of the richest quarterbacks in the league, who boasts a net worth of $70 million. But she also has a hefty net worth of her own.

Mrs. Mahomes is a retired professional soccer player and today is a stakeholder in the Kansas City Current. In addition, she is a certified personal trainer and the founder of Brittany Lynne Fitness. On her website, she describes her exercise programs as “Guided workouts that can be completed by anyone. They include options for working out at home or in the gym, allowing you to choose where you feel comfortable and how to best accomplish the goals you set for yourself.”

In 2024, she posed for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

While that’s nothing to sneeze at, it doesn’t compare to Swift’s who has been a pop icon for years with global superstar status.

Swift has amassed an incredible net worth for her music career, and her Eras Tour has broken records as one of the most successful tours of all time. She’s also had endorsement deals with several top brands including Capital One, Diet Coke, AT&T, Apple, and CoverGirl.

Celebrity Net Worth reports that Swift’s net worth is around $900 million. However, Forbes has estimated that her net worth is even higher at a whopping $1.1 billion.

Who Has a Higher Net Worth: Quarterback Josh Allen or His Girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld?

Michelle Kapusta — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 00:19:16 +0000

Taylor Swift isn’t the only singer showing up at NFL games these days to cheer on a player she’s romantically involved with. Hailee Steinfeld has done the same thing for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

Before the “Blank Space” artist was rumored to be writing a love story with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tarvis Kelce, Steinfeld and Allen were the celebrity-athlete couple making headlines. Here’s more on their relationship including who has a higher net worth the athlete or the Pitch Perfect star?

Josh Allen’s net worth

Allen was born in 1996 in Firebaugh, California to parents Joel and Lavonne. Allen has three siblings–a brother Jason and two sisters Makenna and Nicala.

Allen began playing football at an early age and continued to do so at Firebaugh High School. After graduation, he attended Reedley College where he led the team in both passing and rushing yards. After one season at Reedley, Allen transferred to the University of Wyoming. The signal-caller was selected by the Bills with the seventh overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Allen signed a four-year $21 million contract with the team. According to Celebrity Net Worth he has a net worth of $14 million. Allen’s net worth and earnings will continue to climb in the years to come. In 2021, he signed a six-year, $258 million contract with $150 million guaranteed.

Before Steinfeld, Allen was in a relationship with his longtime girlfriend Brittany Williams. But in April 2023, Williams wiped her Instagram clean of any sign of the NFL star and unfollowed him on Instagram.

The following month, he was spotted on a date in New York City with Steinfeld. Allen admitted that he was surprised at how interested people were in their romance telling the Pardon My Take podcast that “the fact that anybody cares about that blows my mind.”

He also discussed his feelings about when the paparazzi snapped pictures of him and Steinfeld kissing during a vacation in Mexico saying: “I just, like, felt this gross feeling. Insecurity. No privacy. [I was] like, ‘What is wrong with people?’”

Like Allen, Steinfeld was born in 1996 and in California as well. She grew up in the Tarzana neighborhood of Los Angeles and is more used to the spotlight than her beau.

Steinfeld has been in the entertainment industry since she was a child as she began acting when she was just 10 years old appearing in various TV programs and commercials. When she was 13 she played Mattie Ross in the movie True Grit, which earned her a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination.

Steinfeld has also lent her voice in notable films including Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. In addition, she has a career as a singer.

Today Steinfeld has a net worth of $22 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

How Old Is Green Bay Packers Quarterback Jordan Love and What Is His Net Worth?

Michelle Kapusta — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

After the Green Bay Packers decided to draft quarterback Jordan Love in 2020, it wasn’t a question of if but a question of when he would take over as the starter for veteran Aaron Rodgers. Love got his chance when Rodgers was traded to the New York Jets in the 2023 offseason and became the signal caller for the storied franchise.

Now fans want to know more about the man who took over for one of the NFL‘s all-time greats including what his age and net worth are.

Jordan Love’s age

Love was born in Bakersfield, California on Nov. 2, 1998.

When he was 14 years old, his father died by suicide. Love, who was very close with his dad, contemplated quitting football then but his mother encouraged him to continue playing the sport.

He played his college football at Utah State and was named the MVP of the 2018 New Mexico Bowl in which he threw for 359 yards and four touchdowns. He played for the Aggies the following year as well before entering the draft.

The Packers selected him in the first round with the 26th overall pick.

Jordan Love’s net worth

In July 2020, Love signed a four-year rookie deal with the Packers worth $12.3 with a signing bonus of $6.5 million. He was inactive for that entire season, sitting third on the team’s quarterback depth chart. He was elevated to the backup role the following year. Love made his first NFL start on Nov. 7, 2021, against the Kansas City Chiefs when he replaced Rodgers who had tested positive for COVID-19 four days prior and therefore was ineligible to play. The Packers lost that contest 13-7.

Sitting behind Rodgers, Love found himself in the same exact position his predecessor was in years earlier when he was still an unproven quarterback sitting on the bench as a backup to future Hall of Famer Brett Favre. Now, three years after the team drafted him and moved on from Rodgers, many believe Love is the guy in Green Bay.

While Clutch Sports noted that Love’s net worth is currently estimated at $12.5 million, in May 2023 the athlete signed a one-year contract extension. That deal includes an $8.8 million signing bonus, $15.3 million in guarantees, and the possibility of making $24.8 million over 2023 and 2024.

What Is Anwar Hadid’s Net Worth? Find Out Where He Ranks Next to Sisters Gigi and Bella

Julia Mullaney — Sat, 07 Oct 2023 16:24:23 +0000

You’ve definitely heard of supermodel celebrity sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid; Gigi stepped onto the modeling scene years ago, and her younger sister quickly followed suit. Their mother, Yolanda Hadid, helped get the daughters into the modeling business, but the sisters actually have a younger brother, too: Anwar Hadid. While his name doesn’t have quite the same notoriety as his sisters, he has still made decent money. How does Anwar Hadid’s net worth compare to his Gigi’s and Bella’s, and how did he make his money?

Anwar Hadid’s net worth stands around $4 million

Although Anwar isn’t quite as successful on paper as his two sisters, he’s still worth millions. Celebrity Net Worth estimates Anwar to be worth about $4 million. He’s made most of his money in modeling, but it’s hard to argue with the fact that he doesn’t have the same career as his sisters. Interestingly, most of Anwar’s notoriety stems from the people around him. His sisters, of course — he first captured audiences’ attention when he appeared alongside big sister Gigi in Vogue in 2017, but his relationship with pop star Dua Lipa also put him on the map. Anwar and Dua Lipa dated for more than two years before the couple called it quits in 2021.

We can assume that Anwar made most of his money as a model, and at 24 years old, there is still plenty of time for that modeling career to grow even more. However, he’ll have to do quite a bit of work to live up to the same net worth as each of his older sisters.

How much are Gigi and Bella Hadid worth?

Gigi, the oldest of the Hadid siblings, has been modeling for years and has been associated with major brands, including Dior. Gigi’s modeling career has earned her a staggering net worth of $30 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. The supermodel has also been associated with plenty of A-listers. She’s best friends with supermodel Kendall Jenner and shares a daughter with former One Direction member Zayn Malik. Every year, Hadid almost always makes the list of the world’s highest paid models, alongside other women like Kendall Jenner and Gisele Bündchen; she is easily one of the most successful supermodels in the world today.

Bella Hadid, on the other hand, is the middle child between Gigi and Anwar. While Gigi is 28 and Anwar is 24, Bella is 26. Bella’s net worth falls pretty close to her sister’s at around $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Bella is also a model, and she has been tied to brands like Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs. For more than four years, Bella was involved in an on and off relationship with The Weeknd. Similarly to her sister, Bella’s relationship was highly publicized.

Ultimately, all of the Hadid siblings have found themselves in the spotlight through modeling. Although Anwar is worth the least of the three siblings, he has still made quite a name for himself in the industry.

Who Has a Higher Net Worth: NFL Star Travis Kelce or Taylor Swift?

Michelle Kapusta — Sun, 24 Sep 2023 20:57:14 +0000

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you heard that NFL tight end Travis Kelce and pop superstar Taylor Swift are dating. The football player’s brother, Jason Kelce, is the one who actually first sent those rumors into overdrive when he said he believes the reports that they’re dating are 100% true.

The Kansas City Chiefs star later addressed the rumors himself on The Pat McAfee Show saying: “It’s hilarious how much traction this has actually got. Right now, it’s like an old game in school called telephone, where everybody’s just whispering in each other’s ear, just hearing some random stuff … no one actually knows what’s going on. Especially when you’ve got Jason Kelce on live television telling people just both sides. He doesn’t know … Please, everybody, stop asking my brother about my love life.”

Travis then admitted that he left the ball in Swift’s court by inviting her to come see him play at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. In Week 3 she did and their love story, at least from what fans knew, started from there. We’ll just have to wait and see if the “Anti-hero” singer ends up writing a song about their romance. But for now, fans have some other questions about these two and one is: Who has a higher net worth?

Travis Kelce’s net worth

Travis was drafted by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. After inking a four-year deal for just over $3 million, he signed a five-year $46 million extension in 2016. Since then, he’s won two Super Bowls and is considered one of the best tight ends to ever play the game.

But he hasn’t just made money from his play on the field. The athlete has had endorsement deals with several companies as well like McDonald’s, Papa John’s, Nike, Dick’s Sporting Goods, L’Homme de Maison, LG, Tide, and Helzberg Diamonds.

He’s also done a number of TV appearances over the years from his reality show Catching Kelce to hosting Saturday Night Live. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Travis has an estimated net worth of $40 million.

Taylor Swift’s net worth

While Kelce’s net worth is nothing to sneeze at, he’s not worth nearly as much as the “Shake it Off” artist.

Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Swift is worth $900 million. However, that amount continues to grow with the success of her Eras Tour and therefore Forbes has put it closer to $1 billion.

In addition to her hugely successful music career and helping negotiate a deal with Spotify for artists to receive a bigger share of their profits, Swift also had some pretty lucrative endorsement deals. She’s partnered with several top brands including Capital One, Diet Coke, AT&T, Apple, and CoverGirl. And the star has an impressive real-estate portfolio with properties in New York City and Tennessee worth upwards of $80 million.

What Is Milly Alcock’s Net Worth?

Julia Mullaney — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 02:41:00 +0000

Actor Milly Alcock is best known for her role as Rhaenyra Targaryen on HBO’s House of the Dragon. Alcock’s full name is Amelia May Alcock, and she was born and raised in Australia. The 23-year-old has been acting for years, and during that time, she’s built herself a pretty solid net worth for her age. How much is the Australian HBO star worth?

Milly Alcock’s net worth is estimated around $2 million

Alcock’s acting career began when she was hardly a teenager. Her first on-screen role was as a guest star on Wonderland, an Australian show on the country’s Network Ten channel. Alcock first starred in a school play as a little girl, which piqued her interest in acting. From there, she attended a performing arts high school in Sydney, Australia, but subsequently dropped out upon earning the lead role in a six-part series called Upright. She seemingly has no regrets about dropping out, telling the The Sydney Morning Herald, “School’s never been for me. I’ve never been somebody who’s thrived in the school environment.” Dropping out proved to have its benefits, as Alcock later won the Casting Guild of Australia’s Rising Star Award in 2018 for her performance in the series.

In 2020, Alcock earned her breakthrough American role: she would be a young Princess Rhaenrya on House of the Dragon, an HBO series that serves the sister show to the ever-popular Game of Thrones. The show premiered in 2022, and it’s put Alcock on the map. She prepared for the role by watching GoT, which she said she didn’t watch when it first premiered because she was “about eight or nine or something when it first showed up, so it wasn’t really appropriate,” she told Nylon. “It was incredibly new and exciting and daunting, because I’ve only ever done Australian TV,” she said of filming House of the Dragon, though she was excited to step into the role.

Alcock’s actual salary for the show hasn’t been revealed, but it’s no secret the GoT cast was making a pretty penny by the show’s end. These days, Alcock’s net worth is estimated to be around $2 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, a lot of which likely comes from her other acting jobs, too. House of the Dragon is only in the process of developing its second season, so there is plenty of time for Alcock to make more money.

In 2024, Alcock landed the role of Supergirl in director James Gunn’s new DC Universe. She’ll debut in 2025’s Superman, followed by a solo movie. Alcock’s addition to the superhero cinematic universe should have a hefty impact on her net worth.

Milly Alcock has said she doesn’t want to get too excited about ‘House of the Dragon’

When asked how she feels about being in such a massive role, Alcock told Nylon that she tries to just look at it as a “part-time job.” She actually said it’s “straining” to see her own face all the time, and that it “f***in’ sucks.”

“I’m trying to not look at it and trying not to engage with it because it doesn’t benefit me. It just makes me incredibly anxious. Me seeing my face constantly is straining. No one should have to do that. It f***in’ sucks, man. I don’t know how the socialites of the world can do that. It’s kind of driving me off the wall. It’s an incredibly difficult space to navigate.”

Alcock said her friends back home are very “normal,” all attending college and whatnot, so she’s found it hard to find people who relate to her life. Still, she seems thankful for the opportunity.

Alan Arkin’s Net Worth at the Time of His Death

Lauren Weiler — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 17:18:10 +0000

Hollywood lost another legend with the death of Alan Arkin. Arkin is an Academy Award and Tony Award-winning actor most recently known for his role in The Kominsky Method, but many fans know him for his unforgettable role as the grandfather in Little Miss Sunshine. So, what was Alan Arkin’s net worth at the time of his death? Here’s what to know.

Alan Arkin’s net worth at the time of his death

Actor Alan Arkin left behind a serious legacy at 89 years old — and that legacy came with plenty of cash. Alan Arkin’s net worth was reportedly $10 million at the time of his death.

Arkin was born in Brooklyn, New York, and his family moved to Los Angeles when he was 11 years old. In 1979, he told People that the reason he didn’t live in LA was because of his childhood experiences there. He then went on to attend several colleges and dropped out of three. “They might have thrown me out,” Arkin said in the same interview. “I don’t remember.”

Arkin didn’t initially set out to make it as an actor. He found early success with his band, the Tarriers, with “The Banana Boat Song” in 1957. Arkin then headed to Chicago in 1960 to try and make it as an actor. He found his way into the Second City improvisational comedy troupe, which he credits for saving his life.

While Arkin technically made his film debut in 1957, he earned an Academy Award nomination in his next role in The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming. In 1968, he earned another Academy Award nomination for The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.

The actor then went on to have roles in Popi (1969), Catch-22 (1970), Little Murders (1971), Deadhead Miles (1972), Last of the Red Hot Lovers (1972), Hearts of the West (1975), The Seven-Per-Cent Solution (1976), Fire Sale (1977), The In-Laws (1979), and Simon (1980). In the ’90s, he earned a Saturn Award nomination for Edward Scissorhands and a Cable ACE Award nomination for the 1993 TV movie Cooperstown.

In 2001, Arkin earned awards for Thirteen Conversations About One Thing. He also received a Primetime Emmy nomination for The Pentagon Papers. Many fans know Arkin for his role in the 2006 hit Little Miss Sunshine, and he received an Academy Award for his performance as Edwin Hoover.

The actor also appeared in Rendition (2007), Sunshine Cleaning (2008), Get Smart (2008), Marley & Me (2008), The Change-Up (2011), and The Muppets (2011), just to name a few more. His role in The Kominsky Method from 2018-2019 is also one of his most notable.

The actor once talked about living in debt for 6 months

Alan Arkin’s net worth proves he found a lot of success during his lifetime. But it wasn’t always easy for the actor. Arkin headed out to St. Louis, Missouri, after attempting to work in offices in New York. Director and improv teacher Paul Sills recommended that Arkin move out to Chicago for a job.

“I went back to New York but I got fed up looking for work, so, what the hell, in 1960 I came out to Chicago,” Arkin told Roger Ebert. “I lived in a room on a corner of Wells and Lincoln. It was big enough to put a bed in. I was making more money than I had ever earned on a regular basis in my life — $125 a week — and it took me six months, no kidding, to get out of debt.”

Clearly, Arkin made it big in Hollywood later on. But he never found himself particularly tied to the California lifestyle. “I’m in Hollywood now, making a single movie for a lot of money, but I don’t consider myself tied to this geographical location for all time,” he added. “I’m trying to amuse myself to the best of my ability. There are a lot of other things I want to do. I would like to have a movie under my own control sometime and see what could be done with it. Who knows? Maybe Hollywood will make an improvisational movie someday.”

Jerry Springer’s Net Worth at the Time of His Death

Lauren Weiler — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 15:50:24 +0000

Talk show fans young and old know Jerry Springer well. As the host of the infamous television series The Jerry Springer Show, Springer became a household name in wild daytime TV. Sadly, Springer died on April 27, 2023. What was Jerry Springer’s net worth at the time of his death? Here’s what we know.

What was Jerry Springer’s net worth at the time of his death?

Jerry Springer died with a net worth of $60 million, Celebrity Net Worth reports. According to TMZ, Springer’s family said he died of a “brief illness,” though other sources confirm it was pancreatic cancer.

He’s infamously known as the host of The Jerry Springer Show, but he had humble beginnings before the show began. Springer worked as a broadcaster at a college radio station while getting his undergraduate degree at Tulane University. After college, he started a political career. He was a campaign adviser to Robert Kennedy and was later elected to Cincinnati, Ohio, city council in 1973. Springer’s ultra-popular commentaries, like “The Springer Memorandum,” helped him attain a career in broadcasting. NBC then hired him as a political reporter.

By 1991, The Jerry Springer Show was born — though it looked a lot different when it started than how it looked when it ended. The show began as a political space until the producers changed the format in 1994.

Aside from The Jerry Springer Show, Springer went on to host America’s Got Talent for several seasons, and he also produced The Steve Wilkos Show. Springer also appeared on The Masked Singer in 2022 and hosted Judge Jerry.

He spoke about life and death after ‘The Jerry Springer Show’

The Jerry Springer Show gave Jerry Springer his high net worth. While the show didn’t start as a salacious talk show focusing on tabloid topics, audiences tuned in more often when it became this way.

Springer spoke on The Real Daytime about the success he found through the years and why he found it difficult to retire. While he retired from The Jerry Springer Show at 75 years old, he then went on to host Judge Jerry after finding he didn’t enjoy his time off the air.

“My final career is going to be working nursing homes. No one ever tours them, so I was thinking I’d do that,” he joked. “No, my final place is gonna be, well, we board a new plot, you know, where you get buried. Because after this, what’s left?” He then said he wanted bleachers and a screen to show The Jerry Springer Show all day every day near where he’s buried. “And the stone will simply say, ‘I won’t be right back.'”

Jerry Springer likely didn’t make much money as the mayor of Cincinnati

The bulk of Jerry Springer’s net worth came from his time on TV and not during his time as a politician. Springer became the 56th mayor of Cincinnati in 1977 and held the role until 1978. While the title seems like he’d be making a lot of money, mayors — particularly mayors in Ohio — don’t appear to bring in a lot of income.

According to Salary.com, the average base salary for a mayor in Cincinnati in 2023 is $55,328 — and it was likely a lot less in the ’70s. Springer was likely happy about his lucrative career change.

Michelle Kapusta — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 15:30:37 +0000

The Dancing With the Stars family and fans are mourning after it was announced that former judge Len Goodman has died.

Goodman announced his retirement from ‘DWTS’ in 2022

In 2004, Goodman appeared as a judge on the British reality competition show Strictly Come Dancing. The following year he became known on the other side of the pond as the head judge on the American version of the series titled Dancing With the Stars alongside fellow judge Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. Goodman pulled double duty as a judge on Strictly as well as DWTS until 2016 when he left the former.

On Nov. 15, 2022, Goodman announced his retirement from DWTS during the show telling the ballroom: “I’ve been with the show since it started in 2005 and it has been a huge pleasure to be a part of such a wonderful show, but I’ve decided I’d like to spend more time with my grandchildren and family back in Britain. I cannot thank you enough, the Dancing with the Stars family. It’s been such a wonderful experience for me.”

Goodman married professional dance instructor Sue Barrett in 2012.

He told the Daily Mail: “I knew I’d found the woman I wanted to be with for the rest of my life so why not get married? I’ve said before I’m selfish and that doesn’t equate well for marriage, but My Wonderful Sue got that out of me. I’ve become totally unselfish and I think that’s because it’s true love.”

Goodman and Barrett do not have any children together, however, he has one son from a previous relationship and two grandchildren.
