Teddy and Michelle enjoyed many years of marital bliss and birthed a daughter named, Owen Isabelle Landau, in 2005. Unfortunately, trouble began to brew in the 11th year and led to their divorce in 2015 with joint custody of their daughter, Owen.

Teddy’s Ex-wife Michelle Branch Almost Parted Ways with her Second Husband; Patrick Carney
Michelle Branch and Patrick Carney were thought to be a power couple following their loved-up pictures, luxurious vacations, and couple goals tweets. It’s rather sad that their divorce hit the news just 7 months after their second child was born.
As the story goes, Michelle and Carney started experiencing trouble in their marriage a few months after the birth of their daughter, Willa. In a now-deleted post, the Spirit Room singer accused Carney of cheating on her while she was at home with their child. Although we never saw the end of that drama, Michelle’s arrest for slapping her husband made the news in August 2022.
While fans expected some sort of details as to what happened, Us magazine released a statement made by Michelle Branch to confirm her divorce from Carney. Howbeit, the subject changed a few days after when they called off their divorce and started a couple’s therapy instead. According to the court’s record, they have filed an order of reconciliation.
Since Teddy Landau parted ways with his ex-wife Michelle, he has slowly pulled away from the spotlight and embraced a career in sports. Be that as it may, with news of his ex-wife’s current marital saga, the racer has been trapped in her shadows as her first husband.
