Ralph Carter Wife and Kids

Carter got married to River York,  his second wife, in 1994. Just like he has maintained his life in secrecy, he has also kept his marriage and family life a secret too. Not much is known about them.

He, however, married his first wife Lisa Parks, in 1987 but they later divorced in 1992. The reason for divorce is not clear. Carter has five children.

Ralph Carter Gay

For a person who has disappeared for so long and one that speaks so little, speculations can be high. There are a lot of speculations about Carter’s sexual orientation, perhaps because he has kept a huge chunk of his personal life secret. However, for a man who has had two marriages (all with someone of the opposite gender) and has five kids, it may be a little absurd to assume he is gay.

Though he has not come out openly to confirm whether he is gay or straight, we think he is straight.
