David McCallum is a proud grandfather when he’s not fighting crime on a worldly renowned TV show. However, his journey to becoming a grandpa was not smooth, as he had some marital issues.
McCallum has been married twice. His first marriage was to Jill Ireland, with whom he welcomed three children. The couple welcomed Paul and Val naturally and then, after suffering a miscarriage, welcomed their son, Jason, by adoption.
They were happily married for some time, but their marriage, unfortunately, fell apart after Ireland had an extra-marital affair with actor Charles Bronson. McCallum said he did not hate Bronson for having an affair with his wife.
He mentioned that it was difficult, mainly because they had three children, but he and Ireland managed their issues amicably. While Bronson was a fellow actor and acquaintance of McCallum’s, he didn’t let it keep him down for long, and soon he married again.
The ‘NCIS’ alum’s second marriage was to Katherine Carpenter. McCallum and Carpenter welcomed two children during their union. Their children, who they are very proud of, are named Sophie and Peter. The pair built a beautiful life together and remain in love to this day.
Carpenter and McCallum are still happily married 54 years later, in 2022. Carpenter has become a grandfather of eight children between his five children from his two marriages. He thoroughly enjoys being a grandfather and has expressed his love for his grandchildren on multiple occasions..CONTINUE READING
