As for his wife, we don’t know much about her. The couple got married in 1967, three years after Ralph’s divorce with ex-wife Skeeter Davis, an American country music singer. His previous marriage ended in separation after his ex-partner found him unfaithful as he conceived a child with another woman.

Skeeter died on 19 September 2004 at 72 in a Nashville hospice. The cause of it was breast cancer.

Ralph’s second wife is still alive. She was with him at the 2019 Country Music Hall of Fame Medallion Ceremony.
