Before former President Ronald Reagan married former first lady Nancy Reagan, he was married to actress Jane Wyman. Wyman and Reagan were married in 1940 and divorced in 1948. She was an actress, singer and dancer best known for her Academy Award winning performance in Johnny Belinda and from her time on the soap opera Falcon Crest. Together they had two biological children, Maureen and Christine (who was born in 1947 but only lived one day), and adopted a third, Michael. After arguments about Reagan's political ambitions, Wyman filed for divorce in 1948, citing a distraction due to her husband's Screen Actors Guild union duties. He is the only US president to have been divorced.
