Who was Stevie Nicks married to?

Stevie Nicks married Kim Anderson in 1983, the widower of her best friend Robin.

The marriage was short-lived, as the two came to the conclusion that they weren't a match after the pair stopped grieving.

Nicks admitted that her three-month marriage to Anderson was a blunder, as she was devastated by the loss of her best friend who was taken by cancer.

Two days before Robin died, she gave birth to a little boy named Matthew.

“I went crazy, absolutely crazy when Robin died," she told Woman's Own in 1990.

"The only thing I could think of to do was try to take the load off Kim by marrying him and helping raise their son. I think in her heart Robin knew I would go after Kim."

"I had known her for 20 years and him for five, and I felt this baby belonged to me almost as much as it did to them."

How did Stevie Nicks and Kim Anderson meet?

The pair met through Robin. Robin and Kim Anderson dated for five years before she died.

“It was so the wrong thing. To take [Robin's] husband was so beyond insane.”

"A lot of people refused to come to my wedding, they thought I’d lost my mind, which I obviously had at the time."

What has Stevie Nicks said about not having children?

Nicks doesn't have any children, but she once referred to herself as the "rock and roll mama."

In an interview with In Style in 2002, she said kids weren't in her life plans.

"It's like, Do you want to be an artist and a writer, or a wife and a lover? With kids, your focus changes. I don't want to go to PTA meetings," she said.

Don Henley once admitted that Nicks fell pregnant with their child and that the song Sara was titled after the name they were going to give their baby.

Nicks told Billboard in 2014 that Henley's admission was partly true.

"Had I married Don and had that baby, and had she been a girl, I would have named her Sara," she said.

"But there was another woman in my life named Sara, who shortly after that became Mick's wife, Sara Fleetwood."

Nathan was on his way to work on the morning of September 25 and his car broke down -- something that was constantly happening to him as his car had passed a 300,000 mile mark.

He decided to hop on his longboard, which he kept with him for emergencies to make it on time.
