How Many Times Was Drew Peterson Actually Married?

Posted by Tobi Tarwater on Wednesday, June 26, 2024

Kathleen Savio was Drew Peterson's third wife. When he married Stacy after his divorce from Savio, she became his fourth wife.

The first woman to be married to Peterson was Carol Brown. The pair had dated in high school and were married from 1974 to 1980. They had two sons together (Stephen and Eric). About two years after their split, Peterson would remarry. 

In 1982, he married Vicki Connolly, and the pair had a marriage that lasted a decade, per Biography. He had no children with Connolly, and he wouldn't have kids again until his third marriage. 

By 1992, he was divorced from Connolly and married to Savio, with whom he had two more sons (Kristopher and Thomas). That marriage didn't last, and in similar fashion Peterson remarried the same year he divorced. Stacy Peterson became his fourth (and so far final) wife, and they had two children (Lacy and Anthony) together. She would also become the stepmother to Peterson's youngest two sons after Savio's death. 

Unlike his previous nuptials, Peterson's marriage to Stacy didn't end in divorce, and rather ended with a disappearance that remains unsolved. It's not unheard of for people behind bars to get married, but it might be impossible for Peterson as he's still technically married to Stacy and very unlikely to get legally divorced.
