Ben Folds’s other four failed marriage

Ben has been married five times so far. He was first married to songwriter and childhood best friend Anna Goodman from 1987 to 1992.

The singer shared the reasons for marrying in a 2012 piece published in the Sydney Morning Herald.

“Anna and I felt pressure to do something with our lives. Getting married was the thing you had to do. My mum was barely 20 when she had me – but it’s what you did, We had different ideas on how to live as a couple and be engaged in our work. No one ever explained those differences and how to strike a balance. When we split, both of us found a lot more success in our lives. She is a dear close friend and always will be. Some of the songs on my band Ben Folds Five’s first two albums are collaborations with Anna.”
