Joey and Terrie Diaz's relationship

The couple doesn't talk much about their love life, but Terrie went into some detail on how their romance began in her conversation with LeeAnn. In June 2000, she and Joey met at The Comedy Store, where they both worked. On 1 July, they officially started going out. At the time, Diaz was technically homeless and crashing at his friends', so he moved in with Clark very early in their relationship.

On 25 November 2009, Terrie and Joey got married in a low-key wedding. It was Terrie's first marriage, but the same can't be said for Joey Diaz, who was previously married and got divorced in 1990.

The woman's identity is concealed, but they had a daughter together. The divorce strained the father-daughter relationship, making Diaz succumb to substance abuse.

Joey was 27 years old when he got divorced from his first wife. He waited for around 19 years before giving it a shot with Terrie. Since then, the couple have been together for over a decade.

Being 42 years old at the time, she did think she would have children, but 9 months later, she had her first and only daughter.
