A Look Inside Dale Midkiff’s Life as Joan O’Connor’s Husband With 3 Kids

Dale Midkiff is the husband of Joan O’Connor. They started dating in January 1997 and later got married on the 22 of March 1997. They are parents to three children, including one son and two daughters named Cole Midkiff, Ava Marie Midkiff, and Eliza Rose Midkiff.

Dale is an American actor and entertainer who became famous after his debut in the 2006 B-class movie, Streetwalkin, where he played the character of a pimp named Duke. It is often said that a good actor is determined by his ability to play a wide range of roles perfectly well. If that is the case, then we could describe Midkiff as a good actor, as he isn’t one to be stereotyped into certain roles.

His movie roles have been quite varied, ranging from unlikeable ones like that of the wife-beater in the movie, A Cry For Help: The Tracey Thurman Story to the extremely dashing, polite character in the 1998 Western series, The Magnificent Seven. An impressive actor Dale certainly is, but that isn’t all there is to him – he is a father to three lovely kids and has been married to their mother for over 24 years.

Dale Midkiff and Joan O’Connor Met in The 90s

As we have previously stated, Midkiff and Joan have been together for a very long time, especially by Hollywood standards. But how did they meet? Apparently, there hasn’t been much said about where or how the two love birds actually met, but it’s fair to assume they met in the course of Midkiff’s work on set.

The duo met far back as the late nineties and kicked off a whirlwind romance that changed the status of their relationship to date. They specifically began dating in January 1997 and lasted as a casual couple for a very short while before deciding to take things further. Both of them have remained together since then, minding their business and staying low-key.

Midkiff Became Joan O’Connor’s Husband Two Months After They Started Dating

The year 1997 was a busy one for the former teen heartthrob, Dale Midkiff, as he appeared in three movies within the year; Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct: Heatwave, the Disney movie Toothless, and the thriller Any Place but Home. It was also the year he got married.

Just two months after he started dating Joan O’Connor, they were convinced beyond any doubt that they were meant to spend the rest of their lives together. Consequently, they decided to embark on the journey down the aisle, tying the knot on the 22 of March 1997. Being a very private couple, it comes as no surprise that details of their wedding, such as the venue and number of guests among other things, have been kept away from the public.

So far, their marriage seems to be a successful one judging by the fact that there have been no ugly rumors or any other news signaling a change in their sweet romance. In the nearly twenty-five years they have been together, the couple have been known to remain exceedingly private, keeping off social media and only appearing in public on very special occasions.

Is Dale Midkiff Gay, What Is His Sexuality?

Nobody actually knows how and why the gay rumors concerning Dave Midkiff began. Usually, before such rumors gain momentum, there are signs or hints that lead the public towards making such conclusions. In Dale Midkiff’s case, there were no such hints which could prove that the actor was anything other than a straight, heterosexual man.

Some people seemed to think otherwise, however, as a voting poll conducted a couple of years ago revealed what people really thought about the actor. According to the data from the poll results, about 13% of the voters believed that Midkiff was actually gay! The percentage of voters who thought he was straight was in the majority at 83% while a certain 4% were of the opinion that Dale Midkiff was bisexual.

The reason for this poll is beyond any of us, seeing that the actor has never, in the slightest degree, insinuated he was gay. And he had never played a gay character before. It is either the voting poll was conducted as a social experiment for research purposes, or it was created with malicious intent. Either way, Dale has not responded to the speculations on his sexuality, probably believing that the presence of his darling wife should be proof enough to anyone who needed to know.

Dale Midkiff and Joan O’Connor are Parents to Three Adults
