From all accounts, Tom Jones remained faithful to his wife for all those years.

Ummm, no. Tom Jones had several notorious affairs while married to her.

Their son was born a month after their wedding.

Jones himself has admitted that during his Lothario period he slept with up to 250 women a year.

When you are knighted by the Queen, you are given the title “Sir,” just like Sir Winston Churchill. Surely you have heard of him?

In his time people got married young. They stayed married because that the way it was created.

I understand that.

I just did not know Tom Jones was knighted. It was a bit of a surprise to me, that’s all. Same for Elton John and Paul McCartney.

You should read up on it more if you’d like

No he was not by any means sexually faithful

His appetite is legendary

But he cared for her and committed to that task and duty

She was sick most of her life physically and suffered mental disorders like severe depression and agoraphobia that made her a shut in but refused to divorce or abandon her

Freepers can judge as they wish and must

It’s what they

Especially some

Once long ago I was with a group of friends at the Playboy Hotel on Miami Beach. We had just seen the Ike and Tina Turner review and had dinner. We were out front waiting for the valet to bring the cat around. I was sitting on the edge of a cement planter and a commotion started and I saw a pair of Marco Rubio boots walk past in a crowd. I looked up and it was Tom Jones. All I could think about was how short he was. I’m talking 5’4” or 5’5”.

Is this the guy who used to have a TV show back in the ‘60s where the women in the audience would throw their draws at him and whatnot?

Growing up, my Mom and Aunts were divided into two camps; Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck. RIP Linda.

LOL! My tablet tries to anticipate what I really wanted to say. If it does not like what I type it changes it. :-)

Tom Jones cheated on her a lot.
I guess she was ok with it.

That’s too bad.

He was such a chick magnet back in the day. It must have been some kind of marriage to keep them together through those crazy years. Good for them.

It must have been a hell of a ride. God Bless her.
