“Home Team,” a sports comedy film directed by Daniel and Charles Kinnane, is based in part on the life of NFL coach Sean Payton.
Although it did not give much attention to their relationship, Payton’s life with Beth Shuey, his ex-wife of almost 20 years, was mentioned. Among other significant professional moments, Shuey joined the New Orleans Saints while playing with the renowned. Sadly, they divorced in 2012.
Shuey grew up in Morocco, Indiana, where he was born. She enrolled in North Newton Junior-Senior High School where she started her studies and graduated in 1986. Soon after, Shuey enrolled at Indiana State University, where she received her degree in marketing.
Shuey relocated to Indianapolis after graduating in order to pursue a career in business sales. She was “clever” and “pretty,” according to her ex-husband, so it was no surprise that he fell in love with her.
In addition, Shuey is a proud mother to two kids, whom she adores and takes the best care of. She made sure her children never thought they had a broken relationship with her despite the fact that they were already apart from Payton.
Payton and Shuey first spoke in 1990, when she was a student at Indiana State University. He subsequently began working for the organisation as a wide receivers and running backs coach, and not long after that, he started dating Shuey. Payton stated in his book “Home Team”:
“I also met Beth Shuey, a young woman from small Morocco, Indiana, at Indiana State. […] She at least pretended to be interested in my predictions for the Sycamore offence in the upcoming year. She had no issues with my outfit of red flannel and Dockers.”
After some time, on July 11, 1992, Shuey and Payton became husband and wife. They didn’t have their first child, a daughter called Meghan, until 1997, and then they had Connor in 2000. They remained together as the coach’s career developed.
When Payton took the helm as the New Orleans Saints’ head coach, their family relocated to Mandeville, Louisiana. But their way of life was altered when the Bountygate story broke. The couple chose to end their marriage after almost 20 years of marriage.
Basketball is Connor’s other sport of choice, and he often goes to games with his dad. Although they have never disclosed it to the public, the two are close friends and New Orleans Pelicans supporters.
In 2012, the couple petitioned for divorce in a Tarrant County, Texas, court. They split up just before their 20th wedding anniversary.

“Discord or clash of personalities between Petitioner and Respondent that destroys the legitimate purposes of the marriage partnership and prohibits any reasonable expectation of reconciliation,” was how their divorce petition was filed.
Shuey is close to her children and is frequently seen on Meghan’s social media pages. Her posts frequently show her and her daughter connecting outdoors or otherwise enjoying valuable time together.

As a Sports Gild reporter, Meghan also entered the sports industry. She had previously covered the Saints’ sidelines.
Since then, Shuey has advanced in her life and discovered love once more. On September 20, 2022, she got wedded. She is now James McGuire’s wife, a Raleigh, North Carolina, realtor who specialises in properties in golf course communities.
Meghan and author Christopher Titone of “Home Team” became engaged in 2022. Along with pictures of the engagement ring, she tweeted the joyful news.

While growing up, her brother Connor led a more secret existence and the general public was unaware of his educational background. But his Twitter handle might give us a hint that he went to Texas Christian University and plays football professionally.
Basketball is Connor’s other sport of choice, and he often goes to games with his dad. Although they have never disclosed it to the public, the two are close friends and New Orleans Pelicans supporters.
Since then, Shuey has advanced in her life and discovered love once more. On September 20, 2020, she was wedded. She is now James McGuire’s wife, a Raleigh, North Carolina, realtor who specialises in properties in golf course communities.
McGuire’s two children now have a stepmother in Shuey, who loves them as if they were her own children. They are all lying together in Raleigh, North Carolina. According to reports, Shuey had jobs as a court-appointed special advocate and coach.
“Beautiful Ashes,” another novel she wrote, is “about anyone standing in the ashes of their past looking for hope,” according to the author. Shuey is unquestionably gifted in many areas, and many people are eager to read her work.
Many successful men, including Ariel Helwani’s wife Jaclyn Stein, an artist and businesswoman, have their wives’ support throughout their careers. She contributed to the creation of the book “Mirth Meets Earth” as the illustrator, much like Shuey did.
Stein is employed by her family’s businesses, Anzie Jewelry and Jac and Jo Jewelry, as the creative director. Her success has demonstrated to those around her that wives can support their husbands while also pursuing their dreams. Stein is still happily married to her husband, in contrast to Shuey.
