Hershel Walker is an American politician and a former NFL football player who is currently running for the United States Senate. He is a popular candidate who has received the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
In a report published by The Daily Beast in July, two women revealed that Walker pressured them into aborting their pregnancies and even paid for them to have an abortion. The second woman gave birth to one of his children, despite him pressuring her to have another termination.
Julie Blanchard
Julie Blanchard is a sociologist, historian, lecturer and researcher. She has a passion for exploring how fashion and identity are both connected. She started her teaching career at UCA as a sessional lecturer, before getting her first full-time job at the university in 1999.
She loves creating portraits of individuals and places around her. She uses photography and drawings to compliment her work.
In her personal life, she is married to Herschel Walker. They got married in Texas on May 2021.
Her husband is a popular politician who is a former American football player and bobsledder. He is a well-known Donald Trump ally and has been a prominent figure in the political arena.
According to her husband’s Facebook page, she is a creative person who likes to create portraits of people and places that surround her.
Her husband was a candidate for the United States Senate in Georgia in 2022. However, his campaign failed to win.
Marriage
Marriage is a socially approved union between two opposite sexes, and it’s a major institution in all societies. This sacramental union is rooted in the divine plan of creation and has important aspects that make it special.
A good marriage is the foundation of a strong family. Herschel Walker knows that a strong family is the bedrock of America, and with God’s help, he will fight to ensure that families are able to succeed in their endeavors.
Herschel Walker’s first wife was Cindy DeAngelis Grossman and they married in 1983. Their marriage lasted for 19 years and they had a son named Christian.
However, the couple divorced in 2002 due to Walker’s dissociative identity disorder. Herschel’s affliction is an invisible illness that prevents him from being fully aware of his identity as a person.
The Georgia Senate candidate is a former football player who was voted the Heisman Trophy in 1982 and later signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. He retired from professional football in 1997.
Children
Herschel Walker, a former University of Georgia football star who is endorsed by President Donald Trump, has three children from women that he was not married to. He has one son by his former wife, Cindy DeAngelis Grossman.
A new report reveals the existence of two other children: a 13-year-old son by a woman who resides in Texas, and an adult daughter. On Thursday, the Daily Beast reported that Walker also has a second child by an unnamed woman who he was not married to while still in college.
The news has reshaped the tight race between Walker and Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in the state of Georgia, where election day is a month away.
The report comes as Walker has campaigned on a strong anti-abortion stance that goes beyond other Republican candidates, who some support exceptions for rape, incest or a woman’s health being at risk. The candidate’s alleged role in an abortion has not hurt him with his conservative base, but it could have a wider impact on voters, particularly swing ones, who are often ideologically heterodox.
Personal Life
Known as one of the greatest college football players of all time, Walker has also been a bobsledder, sprinter and mixed martial arts fighter. He is currently a candidate for United States Senate in Georgia and is the co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.
In his book Breaking Free, Walker revealed that he had suffered for many years from dissociative identity disorder. He said that he had a number of alternative personalities that were able to take control of his behavior.
As a result, Walker has been accused of making threatening phone calls to women and “having their houses watched.” In 2002, a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader contacted Irving police after she reported that Walker was lurking outside her home.
After Walker divorced Cindy DeAngelis Grossman, he started a relationship with Julie Blanchard. The pair married in May 2021, and they have managed to keep most of their private lives out of the media.
