While there is perhaps information readily available about popular comedian, actor, writer, and podcast host, Joey Diaz, not much is known about his better half Terrie Diaz.

Everything To Know About Joey Diaz Wife
Terrie Diaz Biography
Despite being a celebrity spouse, Terrie Diaz (nee Clark) from Nashville, Tennesee is an ultra-private person. Consequently, there is little or no information readily available about her birth date, parents, siblings, family background, early life, education, or career. She was flung to the limelight following her marriage to popular comedian, Joey Diaz.
Marriage and Kids
Just like his wife, Cuban-American stand-up comedian Jose Antonio Diaz popularly known as Joey Diaz, also prefers to keep details of his personal life private and away from the limelight, despite being a statuesque figure. Since either party hardly grant interviews nor talk about their personal lives in public, there is little or no information about their love journey. While it is uncertain when and how the lovebirds met, we do know that their journey to forever was legally established nearly a decade ago. Terrie and Joey exchanged marital vows on November 25, 2009, in a quiet wedding ceremony that was attended by close friends and family.
The family-oriented couple has since expanded their small circle. Terrie and Joey’s union has produced a daughter Mercy Soa Diaz, who was welcomed on January 8, 2013. As expected and in their usual style, the couple has also shielded their daughter from the spotlight. Having been together this long, it is safe to say the couple has found love in each other’s arms and are truly settled in forever together.

While the marriage is perhaps a first for Terrie Clark, the same can’t be said of her comedian husband. Joey Diaz was previously married to a woman whose identity is unknown. It is not certain when the ex-couple got married or how long they lived together as man and wife, but they officially divorced in the year 1991. More so, the reasons for their divorce has never been disclosed. Just like his union with Terrie, Joey Diaz’s former marriage produced a daughter whose identity is also unknown.
However, it is believed that the comedian had a sour relationship with his first daughter after his divorce. Joey once admitted that his decision to pursue a career in comedy was inspired by the sad situation with his daughter, vowing to work hard and make her proud someday. For now, Joey seems more focused on work and it remains uncertain if father and daughter have patched things up just yet.
Her Spouse’s Addiction
It is no secret that Terrie’s husband once struggled with drug addictions. Joey had a life-changing experience when one of his pets died after taking cocaine. Although the comedian purportedly beat the struggle in 2007, which was before his marriage to Terrie, it is safe to say that she may have been part of his recovery journey and has helped him stay sober all these years.
