Martin Gore’s Love Life Timeline: from 1980S Rock Stardom to His Lasting Marriage
By Alexander Ross
Following his 2006 divorce, Gore remained in California, focused on raising his kids and maintaining sobriety. In 2011, he began dating Kerrilee Kaski. She brought a grounding presence to his everyday routine, completely disconnected from the frantic energy of rock stardom.
On June 12, 2014, Gore and Kaski wed in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and longstanding creative associates. Unlike the high-profile media spectacles of fellow 1980s contemporaries, the couple kept the wedding strictly private. The marriage ushered in a renewed era of personal contentment for the songwriter.
The couple expanded their family shortly thereafter. Kaski gave birth to their first child, daughter Johnnie Lee, on February 19, 2016. A second daughter, Mazzy Lee, arrived on March 13, 2017. With young children back in the house, Gore found himself navigating fatherhood in his fifties with fresh perspective and hard-won maturity.
