Terry Francona and his ex-wife, Jacque Lang, were married for 30 years and had four children together. All of their children were interested in sports and had participated in various sports at some time in their lives. The former couple married in 1982, and their marriage began to crumble about 2011. Terry was said to be engaged to two other women after their divorce.
Terrence Jon Francona, born April 22, 1959, is an American baseball manager and former player for the Cleveland Guardians. His professional career started when the Montreal Expos selected him in the first round of the 1980 amateur draft. He made his MLB debut on August 19, 1981. From 1981 until 1990, he was an outfielder and first baseman for several MLB organizations. The 1980 Golden Spikes Award winner began his coaching career with the Sarasota White Sox of the Gulf Coast League. Similarly, he managed the Philadelphia Phillies (1997-2000) before moving on to manage the Boston Red Sox (2004-2011) until joining the Cleveland Guardians in 2013. In addition, the two-time World Series champion manager served as a third-base coach for the Detroit Tigers and a bench coach for the Texas Rangers and Oakland A’s.
Jacque Lang’s Married Life And Four Children
Terry Francona married his ex-wife Jacque Lang on January 9, 1982. They had been married for 30 years until splitting up in 2012. They also had four children: one boy, Nicholas, and three girls, Alyssa, Leah, and Jamie. Nicholas, born on July 11, 1985, attended the University of Pennsylvania before being picked by the Boston Red Sox. He then joined the US Marine Corps and served as a sniper squad leader in Afghanistan in 2011. Alyssa (born April 7, 1987) and Leah (born January 27, 1990) were both softball players at the University of North Carolina.
Alyssa Francona was also designated Senior Associate AD for Development at Boston College for 2022. Jamie Francona, the youngest Francona, attended the United States Naval Academy and played volleyball.
Terry Allegedly Had Other Women in His Life
Terry was going through a divorce with his ex-wife when he got associated with a girl called Venessa, who seemed to be in her twenties. He was also accused of sending semi-naked images of himself to his 27-year-old girlfriend at the time. Similarly, the former Red Sox coach has been connected to Filipino-Canadian sportscaster Hazel Mae. Mae has also been on MLB Network and the New England Sports Network’s SportsDesk news show. There were also speculations that Terry’s reported connection with the sportscaster was the cause of his divorce from Jacque.
Terry Francona Retirement Rumors
One of the league’s most powerful managers has intimated that he may step down as manager of the Cleveland Guardians. The Guardians wrapped off their 2023 season with a three-game series against the Red Sox in April. If the Red Sox ownership had been informed of Francona’s likely farewell season, they could have rightly retired his uniform number in a ceremony on the field. The Red Sox hadn’t won a World Series in 86 years when he came, and it’s only natural that they honored him by retiring his uniform as he announced his retirement.
