Joey Diaz: Living A Happy Married Life With Second Wife Terrie Clark

Joey Diaz "CoCo", a Cuban-American stand-up comedian has faced all sorts of ups and downs in his life. It includes losing parents at an early age, substance abuse to a relationship failure with his first wife and first child of course.

We are sure his current wife Terrie Clark supported him a lot to overcome all the unfortunate incidents. Diaz tends to keep his personal life ultra private. He barely talks about his wife and children in mass but he is a loving husband and a caring father.

Diaz and Clark who tied the knot on 25 November 2009 welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mercy Diaz in 2013.

However, details about his first wife and the first daughter is still a mystery. Diaz divorced his first wife in 1991 but the reason behind the action has never been revealed. Sources reported that he lost ties with his daughter for the same cause.

Diaz definitely regrets on the action being far from his first daughter. Who doesn't wish to be with one's child, isn't it?

Above all his bitter past, we are sure he's happy with his second wife and daughter. We wish him all the very best for his future.

In 1988, he was arrested for robbery and kidnapping. He spent 14 months in prison for his deed. During his time period in the prison, he discovered his talent in comedy as he entertained his friends in prison with his humorous acts.

He started his stand-up career in 1991. Besides comedy, he's performed in several movies and TV series including Back by Midnight, The Bronx Bull, Rules Don't Apply, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and How I Met Your Mother.
