Elder Was Married in the Early 1990s
Larry Elder was once a married man. The conservative talk radio host was married to a physician, who happened to be his longtime friend, for two years.
Their relationship ended in divorce in 1994 because his ex-wife wanted children, but he was against that decision.
The reason for his unwillingness to have children was probably — as many assume — because he had a gloomy relationship with his dad while growing up. And that killed his desire to have his own kids.
Following his separation from his ex-wife, Elder reportedly got engaged to fellow political commentator and actress Alexandra Datig.
Datig, who had a history of prostitution, is now a Front Page Index political commentator. Over the years, she has also appeared in Fox News, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, C-SPAN, Newsmax, and OAN.
But the relationship between Elder and Datig was short-lived, as their alleged engagement never turned into marriage. More so, they even didn't find it necessary to disclose ever that they were engaged at some point in their lives.
He Often Mentioned His Girlfriend on Twitter
For several years following his engagement rumors with Datig, the elder relished private life and didn't really reveal his relationship status in public.
Coming to the 2010s, where social media evolved hugely, the Larry Elder Show host often used social media platforms to mention his girlfriend. To be precise, he suggested through Twitter in a couple of instances that he was not married anymore but had a girlfriend.
On February 11, 2017, one Twitterati expressed that she loved him, suggesting him not to tell that to his wife. "I love you Larry don't tell your wife, lol," she wrote.
Replying to her, he disclosed that he was not married but had a girlfriend.
I'm not married. It would be news to my girlfriend.
Likewise, he wore a pink t-shirt, chosen by his girlfriend, on September 28, 2016 — and he revealed it through Twitter, writing, "Man in pink!!! My girlfriend made me wear it."
Presently, it is unknown if he still spends time with his girlfriend, as it has been a long-time since he mentioned her on his social media.
