Erin Everly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erin Invicta Everly (born November 8, 1965) is the daughter of Don Everly, from the Everly Brothers, and actress Venetia Stevenson. Her siblings are sister Stacy Everly and brother Edan Everly. Soap opera actress Anna Lee was her grandmother.
Erin Everly is also the former wife of Guns N' Roses lead singer, Axl Rose. Guns N' Roses' hit, Sweet Child O' Mine was written about Everly.
Rose and Everly met in 1986 and dated for many years before Axl spontaneously proposed, allegedly threatening to kill himself if she refused. They married in Las Vegas on April 28, 1990. One month later, Rose filed for divorce, but the two reconciled and decided to stay together. Everly's miscarriage further strained the marriage, and in 1991, the two had the marriage annulled.
In 1994, Everly filed a lawsuit against Rose, claiming that he physically abused her. The charges were settled out of court, and Everly, living in Atlanta, has stayed out of the public eye ever since. She is married to prominent Atlanta resident Jack Portman and has a son named Eason and a daughter named Eres.
