How Old is Tony Bennett’s Wife?
Tony Bennett’s wife, Susan Crow, is 57 years old. She was born on the 9th of September 1966 in San Francisco, California, the USA, which qualifies her as an American national. Her parents were Dayl and Marion Crow.
Growing up, Susan was very fond of Tony Bennett’s songs which was quite an interesting fact, seeing that her peers at the time were mostly into Elton John or the Stones. She would ring radio stations to request Tony’s songs and constantly begged her parents so she could attend his concerts. Her obsession for the pop icon was such that she also headed a local chapter of Tony Bennett’s fan club, a group dubbed the Tonymaniacs.
Susan Crow was an excellent student from her college days. She attended Fordham University for her bachelor’s degree and Columbia University’s Teachers College for her master’s degree. She worked for Merrill Lynch and later transitioned into teaching and academics after graduating.
Susan Crow Met Tony Bennett at the Age of 19
At the age of nineteen, Susan got a ticket to go see Tony Bennett’s concert at the Masonic Temple in San Francisco in the 1980s. At the event, she requested to say hello to the musician, and little did she know that her decision to take the bold step of making such a request was going to change her life forever.
Fortunately for her, Tony was intrigued by her request, and she was granted access backstage, where she met him. He even went ahead to ask her to be his date that evening and so began their love story which has metamorphosed into what it is today. It is worthy of note that at the time, Tony Bennet was in his 60’s and was separated from his second wife, Sandra Grant.

The duo dated for about two decades before having a private wedding ceremony in New York City in 2007. Susan Crow was thirty-nine years of age at the time, and her husband, Tony Bennett, was seventy-nine years.
Crow is Tony Bennett’s third wife, and for the time they’ve been together as a married couple, the duo has no children of their own. However, Susan is the stepmother to Tony Bennett’s four children from previous marriages.
