Rhian Gittins is the former wife of American guitarist, singer, songwriter, and TV star Dave Navarro. She is the second of the three women he married in his life.
Gittins, born to Canadian-Welsh parents was married to Navarro for 120 hours. Moreover, the marriage was said to have been annulled, and no reason has been given for it. Since the marriage ended, the Canadian-Welsh has moved on with her life but is yet to try marriage again.
Here is everything you need to know about her.
Early Life And Family Background of Rhian Gittins
She was said to have been born to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Wyn Gittins on 19th July 1969 in Edmonton, Canada. Sadly, her mother has passed away some years back, while her father is still alive, but has been in and out of the hospital for some time now.
The 55 year-old is not the only child of her parents. She was raised alongside her one and only big brother Sion Gittins, born two years earlier before her.
Although details regarding her family’s background remain sketchy, one among her parents has ethnic origins from Wales. This is evident from a number of posts on her Instagram where she has used the hashtag Canadian-Welsh.
As for her education, Gittins attended Ross Shep Composite High School, located in Coronation Park, Edmonton. After high school, she was said to have furthered her education at the university.
Ghittins’ Marriage With Dave Navarro Lasted For Five Days
The Edmonton native reportedly walks the aisle with the American guitarist and TV personality Dave Navarro on 15th July 1994 in Las Vegas. The marriage lasted for only five days as the couple demanded the union to be dissolved. Equally, there is no additional information on the said annulment.
Her Marriage to The Guitarist is The Shortest of All His Marriages
Dave Navarro seems like the ladies’ man, and for this reason, he has been in and out of multiple relationships and marriages. Rhian Gittins’ marriage to him is the second and the shortest of his three marriages that failed. As earlier mentioned, the marriage only lasted for five days, that is 120 hours.
On the other hand, his other two marriages lasted longer. His first marriage to makeup artist and hairstylist Tania Goddard-Saylor lasted for only two years from June 1990 to 1992. Unlike Gittis’ marriage which was an annulment, this one was a divorce.
Navarro’s third marriage was to model and actress, Carmen Electra. The wedding took place on 22nd November 2003. After nearly four years in the union, everything went south, and their divorce was finalized on 20th February 2007. The reason for the divorce was said to be due to tight working schedules.
Therefore, this is the longest of Navarro’s marriages.
