Who Is Paul Simon’s Wife?
The legendary singer Edie Brickell is the wife of Paul Simon. Almost everyone has heard the song “What I Am.” According to Smooth Radio, singer Edie Brickell claims that she was instantly smitten by her husband Paul upon meeting him.
The two celebrities met for the first time in the late ’80s on the set of Saturday Night Live. Amomama claims that Edie forgot her lyrics during a performance because she was so distracted by the sight of Paul. In 1992, Paul and Edie exchanged vows, and since then, they’ve raised three kids together.
In 2014, a domestic disturbance at Paul and Edie’s New Canaan, Connecticut home grabbed national headlines. Prior to that, the couple had a low-key marriage. They were both taken into custody after what was later called a “rare argument.” In addition, their attorney Allan Cramer told The Washington Post, “On a scale of one to ten, it was a one” regarding the occurrence that has everyone scratching their heads.

Paul Simon Has Been Married Eight Times, Yet Only Has Four Children
Paul was married to Peggy Harper from 1969 to 1975 before he met and began seeing Edie. Peggy allegedly caused the couple’s divorce when she interrupted Paul as he was listening to a new Stevie Wonder album, as reported by the New York Daily News. They have a musically talented kid named Harper.
In an interview with Reuters from 2009, Harper expressed regret about not having “the ideal career arch,” an apparent reference to his father’s more rapid rise to fame. According to Harper, the renowned son didn’t start to come into his own as an artist until he was well into his 30s.
While that was going on, Paul wed Carrie Fisher following Peggy. In the early 1980s, they were married for a brief period of time before divorcing. Paul and Carrie reportedly broke up because they were ultimately incompatible.
Paul married his high school sweetheart, Edie, and the pair now has three children: Adrian, Lulu, and Gabriel. Lulu also performs as a singer-songwriter. You might be interested in checking the official Instagram post by Lulu below.

Lulu has remarked that pursuing a career in music was a “no brainer.” She said in an interview with Grain of Salt Magazine, “Even though I wanted to drop out and do music full time, my parents wouldn’t let me!” in reference to the fact that her famous parents insisted she finish school before she began her profession.
