What Led To Their Divorce?
In 1987, Constantine and his then-wife Heaton opted for a divorce. Heaton would later claim that there was no compatibility in the marriage.
Even though it is difficult to lay hands on how the divorce was on Constantine, Heaton claimed their splitting led to her feeling like a failure, especially because of her family’s roots in the Catholic Church.
Also, on the part of Yakoglu’s ex-wife, the divorce led to many things in her life that include drinking and doubt in God. The Hollywood Walk of Famer experimented on new age religion, later renounced religion, and along the line found her way to become a Presbyterian. In all of it, Patricia wanted to heal so she started therapy.
As of June 2017, the marriage had been annulled by the Catholic Church.
The same year the former couple divorced, Heaton made her first appearance in the chorus of Don’t Get God Started (1987). On his part and a year after the splitting, Constantine played the role of a New Jersey Fan in Eight Men Out (1988).
