Gary Cole is known and loved for portraying Special Agent Alden Parker in the long-running CBS drama, NCIS. The star boasts an impressive list of screen credits and has appeared in various major films and TV shows over the course of his career, perhaps most notably the 1999 comedy film, Office Space.

But did you know that he was previously married to a fellow actress? Read on to find out more about the TV star’s love life.

For 25 years, Gary, 66, was married to Teddi Siddall, with whom he welcomed one daughter named Mary in 1993.

The couple, who wed in 1992, decided to go their separate ways in 2017 when Teddi filed for divorce. The actress sadly passed away in February 2018 at the age of 64 before their divorce was finalized. Very little information has been released regarding her death.

Teddi appeared in several television series and movies over the years, landing one-episode roles in shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, St Elsewhere, Wings and Happy Days. 

She also landed parts in the films, Fade to Black, Prizzi’s Honor, and Forever Strong, the latter of which Gary also starred in.

Gary has since moved on from his first marriage with Los Angeles-based interior designer and artist Michelle Knapp. While it’s not known how and when the pair first met, we do know that they tied the knot in August 2021.

The couple said ‘I do’ in an intimate lakeside wedding ceremony in August. Marking their big day on Instagram, Michelle posted a snap showing the newly-weds sharing a kiss under a floral arch featuring white and pink flowers. “Married my best friend #garycole and it was nothing but Family, Friends, Love, Joy, Laughter and Fun thank you @stepnickdesigns for the gorgeous floral decor and @kelleelaser for capturing our special day and beautiful memories,” she penned in the caption.
