Jeff Gordon, the legendary NASCAR driver, is one of the most popular race drivers of all time. The former racing driver is currently working for the Fox Nascar as an announcer.

Despite having a sound professional life, he was once in a failed relationship. But he moved on from his divorce and married his second wife Ingrid Vandebosch in 2006. The couple shares two children.

Jeff Gordon-Moved on After First Divorce

We learn one thing from Jeff and that one thing is, do not give up on life. Even if your relationship or marriage didn't work out, calm your horses and try to move on.

Having a failed marriage before, Jeff certainly got lucky in his second marriage with Ingrid. We used the word 'lucky' because he's fortunate enough to marry her and call her wife.

The former Belgian model first met the veteran stock car racing racer in 2002. During that time, Jeff was in the middle of his divorce with his first wife Brooke Sealey.

Well, Jeff's proud of his second marriage but there's one thing he isn't proud of and that would be, how he literally begged his friend to get a seat next to her.

But hey, in the end, he got himself a permanent seat right next to her. 

Children with Ingrid Vandebosch

Never in his wildest dream did Jeff thought about marrying twice but as fate would have it, he divorced his first wife in 2003, due to irreconcilable differences. 

He married Brooke in 1994 after meeting for the first time in 1992. He never fathered a child during his eight years of marriage.

Although she did use Jeff's surname for her child with former partner James Dixon II of Charlotte, but don't get confused by that as he has only two children with Ingrid.

His married life with Ingrid is another story. They tied the knot on November 7th, 2006, in a private ceremony that held in Mexico, five months after their engagement.

The 45-years-old American racer is a proud father of his two children, Ella Sofia Gordon, born June 20, 2007, and Leo Benjamin Gordon, born August 9, 2010.
