Jane O'Meara: Her Married Life with Bernie Sanders

Jane and Bernie were together for seven years before they married in 1988. The couple exchanged vows in a civil ceremony and went for a honeymoon in the Soviet Union as the man himself is a Democratic socialist.

Both the pair married for the second time. Bernie previously lived his life with former wife Deborah Shiling just for 2 years. Similarly, David Driscoll was the first husband of Jane. They divorced shortly after the birth of her third son Dave.

Bernie brought his son, Levi from his earlier relationship into the grand marriage; she also brought her three children Heather, Carina, and Dave from her first marriage.
