This is a story that seems to get no attention in the press. Richard Marx, 

who shockingly divorced his wife of 25 years, Cynthia Rhodes, is now dating MTV VJ/spokesperson/model/designer Daisy Fuentes. 

Cynthia Rhodes is best known for her work in Dirty Dancing and Staying Alive.

 Richard Marx had a string of hits in the 80s and I am not ashamed to admit I just went on a Richard Marx video binge. I highly recommend it.

The Grammy award winning singer/songwriter/producer, who was discovered by Lionel Richie, is known to be quite curmudgeonly and irascible when even a hint of ridicule comes up in an interview. Hopefully he will never read this. He does seem to be happy with the affable Fuentes, however.

This singer/songwriter/actress model duo are sort of like a middle aged/beyond the expiration date/budget John Legend and Chrissy Teigen.

He is admirable for raising his 3 sons Brandon, Lucas and Jesse, in suburban Chicago rather than Hollywood and giving them a more normal and down to earth life. We never hear about their shenanigans at Coachella or some Hollywood nightclub. I am going to bet on the fact that he probably attended PTA meetings at his boys’school over the years…(likely a school much like the one in Breakfast Club or some other  John Hughes film). He probably worked at the school carnival extravaganza, silent auctions, and various fundraisers, and probably chauffered his boys around in a minivan just like any other dad. Probably the kids in his sons’ classes didn’t really even know who he was, just another well off and kind of dorky dad who just doesn’t understand kids today! in the neighborhood.

Likely Marx is supportive of Daisy’s busy designing career with Kohl’s mega chain department stores. Perhaps he will come up with his own lifestyle brand once he makes the right deal with Kohls! Pool tables? Bomber jackets? Hair products? The possibilities are endless.

As we can see, Marx likes his women like he likes his fondue… traditionally (beautiful), hot, and incredibly cheesy.
