NANCY LOCKE, WIFE OF MEREDITH BAXTER

Long before Meredith Baxter came out as a lesbian in 2009, she was already in a relationship with Nancy Locke. The favorite mom of the ’80s sitcom Family Ties got herself ready as the world was about to see her in a different light. She called herself a “lesbian mom.” After being in three failed marriages and feeling uncomfortable with herself, the 73-year-old star revealed she started to feel likes she’s finally honest to herself for the first when she told the truth.

At the time, Meredith was already in a relationship with the building contractor Nancy, and after several years together, they finally got married in 2013. It was a very intimate ceremony that the couple exchanged handwritten vows, witnessed by their friends and family members. In their eight years of marriage, it looks like Nancy and Meredith will never need their lawyers’ help this time.
