At age 22, Garvey married Cynthia Truhan in 1971. They had two daughters, Krisha and Whitney. Cynthia left Garvey for composer Marvin Hamlisch; Garvey was already romantically involved with his secretary, which Cyndy didn’t find out until after she had left him. Garvey and Cynthia divorced in 1983.
In July 1988, Garvey discovered that Cheryl Moulton was pregnant with his child, Ashleigh Young. Despite this, Garvey proposed to Rebecka Mendenhall in November 1988, telling Mendenhall about Moulton at the time of the proposal. Mendenhall learned that she was pregnant that January. Garvey broke their engagement January 1, 1989, on a phone call. Garvey and Mendenhall had been in a relationship since 1986. Their only child, a son named Slade Mendenhall, was born in October 1989.
Garvey said he was in the midst of what he termed a “midlife disaster”.
Garvey sued his ex-wife Cynthia for access to his two children when she refused access, which he won. His daughters testified in court that they did not wish to see him, but a psychiatrist testified that they exhibited “parental alienation syndrome”. Under the shadow of multiple lawsuits, Garvey lost business opportunities and paid half his monthly television earnings in child support.
Family values.
