Dean Martin The Family Man

Here are some pictures of Dean Martin with his family that come courtesy of my friend The One & Only International Bond Girl. Dino had four children (Craig, Claudia, Barbara & Deana) with his first wife Elizabeth Anne. He had three children (Dean Paul, Ricci & Gina) with his second wife Jeanne. He would later go on to adopt the daughter (Sasha) of his third wife Catherine. I thought these were some really cool pictures. It's great to see Dino as a family man. Family is very important. I do wonder what kind of dad he was. I've read his son Ricci's book, but never his daughter Deana's. I know they each paint a different picture of what life was like in the Martin home.

  35. Dino was a great father after he married Jeannie, with his first wife things were a little more difficult. He loved his family and was so devastated when his son died.
