Sean is a married man. His wife’s name is Jami Swayze and the couple married more than three decades back. They have a daughter whose name is Cassie Swayze. It is not known what Cassie does for a living.

But she is also married and has two kids. Her husband’s name is not in the public domain. But the family seems to be a happy one.

Sean and his bitter relationship with Patrick’s widow

Sean and his birth family had a fallout with Patrick’s widow in 2015. Patrick owned a ranch in New Mexico. And after his death, his family wanted to convert this ranch into a museum.

But Patrick’s widow, Lisa Niemi had different views and ideas. She decided to sell the ranch and went on to marry a billionnaire in 2014. His name is Albert DePrisco and he is a jeweler by profession. They engaged on 28 December 2013. And the marriage was on 25 May 2014. She had told People magazine at that time:

“I have to say, that the love I have for Patrick was never in conflict or competition with my feelings for Albert,”
“That is until Albert asked me to marry him!”

Sean and Patrick’s birth family were not happy with these moves of Lisa. They felt that she has forgotten her late husband so soon.

Lisa also accused Patrick’s mother of being abusive towards her. She said:

“She could be very violent.”

Lisa also revealed that Patsy used to hit Patrick during his childhood days:

“Patrick privately recounted the story of his 18th birthday when Patsy was ‘laying into him’ before his father [Jesse] told his wife [Patsy] that he would divorce her if she touched their son again.”
“She never hit him after that.”

Sean denied these allegations. But this family feud distanced them and they are not on talking terms with each other any more.
