Tony Bennett, who is 94 years old, has a lasting impact on music. The singer has released a number of fantastic albums that many people will never forget. He is known for his pop music and show tunes. Unfortunately, popularity often brings rumours and turmoil, and his marriage to Sandra Grant Bennett and subsequent divorce from her created a stir.
What transpired between Bennett and Grant is detailed below.
Tony Bennett was married to Patricia Beech before Sandra Grant

Bennett has a long history of dating prominent ladies. He first met Patricia Beech at an Ohio nightclub performance by a singer, according to Glamour Path. Despite getting divorced in 1971, they were married in 1952. He married Sandra Grant the same year he divorced.
According to Grant, “I met him at a pool party at the Beverly Hills Hotel,” The Free Library said. Tony was an excellent lover.
In her twenties, Grant was quite familiar with many of the Hollywood males. She described the experience of seeking relationships with a variety of well-known men, such as singer Eddie Fisher, actor Warren Beatty, George Hamilton, Frank Sinatra, and baseball player Joe DiMaggio. However, Bennett stood out as having the most impact. Although they got married in the early ’70s, Information Cradle notes they supposedly shared a home years before, which calls into doubt his relationship with Beech.
Why did Tony Bennett and Sandra Grant divorce?
Given that they were together for well over ten years and had two children together, Bennett and Grant seemed to be a terrific match. However, there were issues in paradise. The couple kept a very low profile when it came to their union and eventual divorce, but it appears Grant thought the Bennett she was married to was different from the Bennett that the public knew and adored.
Thank God, after all these years, Tony and I have officially filed for divorce. After formally concluding the divorce in 2007, Grant told Page Six, “I wasn’t officially divorced until just a few months ago. The Tony I knew was not the same as the world’s well-known happy Mr. Nice Guy.
Page Six elucidated Although Grant and Bennett broke up in 1979, their legal separation wasn’t finalised until 2007. Grant continued, “My side was supposed to file, but we just didn’t, and it just went on and on.”
Although the precise cause of Bennett and Grant’s split is yet unknown, there is allegedly a great deal of animosity between them. And it appears that Grant believes Bennett is seriously at fault.
I guess I married the wrong man, Joe [DiMaggio] was a lot more of a gentleman than Tony, said Grant. “Good luck to his current wife, and I’m glad to be free at last. But perhaps the situation is reversed, and I should wish him luck. An aged fool is the best kind of stupid. I no longer feel much affection for him.
Tony Bennett is now married to Susan Crow, who is much younger
Grant stated in her divorce papers that she would never want to get married again because of her relationship with Bennett, which may have shattered some trust between them. However, Bennett later wed Susan Crow in the same year that he separated from Grant.
Before meeting Bennett, Crow reportedly was a tremendous fan, according to Closer Weekly. She finally met him backstage following a performance because she was the president of his fan club. Crow was only 19 years old at the time, and Bennett is almost 40 years older. But despite that, their romance continued to develop.
Tony said in his autobiography, Just Getting Started, “I not only agreed to say hello to her backstage, but I invited her to be my date for the evening.” “That’s actually where it all started.”
Contrary to appearances, Crow and Bennett did not get married right away. Bennett’s divorce became final in 2007. Despite Bennett’s legal marriage at the time, the two took their romance very slowly and dated for 20 years. The two look more content now than ever.
