Michael and Jean have been divorced since a year after welcoming their daughters.
Sadly, they fought bitterly over custody of their girls for a long time.
Michael — who also has two grown children with his first ex-wife, Wanda Hutchins — opened up about marriage in a 2023 interview on In Depth with Graham Bensinger.
"Would I ever get married again," he pondered. "Never say never. I'm not so bitter to say , 'Oh, I got divorced and stay away from marriage'. I'm not the guy."
"My second marriage was definitely not the greatest experience," Michael confessed. "But I did learn a lot from that and I ended up with two incredible teenagers."

He surprisingly then added: "I think marriage is great, and I know I have had a few failures. But you learn from your failures."
Michael is still incredibly close with Wanda and recognizes it was just the wrong time for them.
"My first marriage with Wanda, we were just young. She's one one of my best friends to this day. I love her to death. I have two great kids," he said.
"That was a great experience where we both realized we were young, out of our league, didn't know how we were supposed to act. We were kids trying to play adults.
"But now that we came to that agreement together, we came to that understanding together, we have grown together."
