Kathy Ireland reveals how “stalking” her surgeon husband and deep faith fueled their 36-year marriage.
How Did Kathy Ireland ‘Stalk’ Her Way to a 36-Year Marriage?
Kathy Ireland playfully admits she “stalked” surgeon Greg Olsen for two months in the ‘80s — with mom’s help.
“We’d wait on hospital floors for his beeper code,” she told Fox News. Her persistence? Rewarded.
Three kids and 36 years later, she says their secret is a “covenant, not a contract… days aren’t always lovable — but God’s in it.”
What Kept Their Marriage Strong for Four Decades?
Ireland credits her faith. A rebellious teen turned devout Christian at 18 in Paris: “Opening that Bible changed everything. Jesus? Nothing like the soundbites.”
Now, she calls Greg her “priceless treasure” — proven by his handwritten notes plastered on every door during tough days.
Why Was Kathy’s Mom Her Wingwoman?
Nurse mom didn’t just aid the “stalking” — she masterminded it. Snagging Olsen’s beeper code? Check.
Scoping hospital floors? Check. Ireland laughs: “Felt like a loser… but patience paid off.” Their 1988 wedding? Proof moms sometimes know best.
How Did Paris Transform Kathy’s Life?
Alone in a hotel, questioning truth, she cracked a Bible at midnight. “Suddenly, this was real,” she told Fox.
Now, as a MovieGuide Awards presenter, she slams compromise: “Without Jesus, I’d be a mess!”
What’s Her Take on Hollywood’s New ‘Faith Envoys’?
Ireland cheers Trump’s pick — Voight, Stallone, Gibson — as “God-trusting” guides. “Hope they push Hollywood toward Jesus,” she says. Her mantra?
“Never hide your faith… even if you once stalked your hubby.”
