As the Daily Beast reports, this is Aldrin’s fourth marriage.
Aldrin — who was born Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. — wed Joan Archer in 1954. They had three children before divorcing in 1974.
Aldrin married Beverly Van Zile in 1975, but they divorced just three years later.
In 1988, he married third wife Lois Driggs Cannon. That marriage lasted for 24 years, until their divorce in 2012.
