Ringo Starr first wife: What happened to Ringo Starr's first wife?

Thursday, August 27, 2020

Sir Ringo Starr was often in the background of the Beatles, and was therefore a little mysterious to fans. However, as the years went on, he was thrust into the public eye more and more, as was his personal life. He is happily married to his second wife Barbara Bach – but what happened to his first wife Maureen?

Sir Ringo’s first wife was Maureen Starkey, to whom he was married between 1965 and 1975.

Sir Ringo encountered Maureen, then 15, when she regularly went to The Cavern Club in Liverpool, where she met the drummer, who she called “Ritchie.”

According to Hunter Davis’ Beatles Life, Maureen was once scratched in the face by a Beatles fan rival, showing how the band was starting to get more famous by the time these two got together.
