Martin Lee Gore is known around the world for being a musician and songwriter. His lists of skills also includes the ability to play and perform on the guitar and keyboard. He has been the recipient of many awards in the American music industry. Among the awards he has won, the prestigious Ivor Novello Award is one of his biggest accomplishments. Martin’s personal life was marked with years of dedication and commitment. He was married to his long time love, Suzzanne Boisvert Gore for 12 years. After the couple produced three children from their relationship, Martin Gore decided to get a divorce from Susan. After divorcing his first wife, Martin Lee looked elsewhere for companionship. He eventually found another woman to commit to and got married to a woman named Kerrilee Kaski in 2014.
He said that the divorce from Suzzane really affected his album because of the stress of dealing with the aftermath of a split. It was reported that Martin Lee claimed he was a victim and lost a lot of possessions in the separation settlement that was issued. There have been no public details about why he got separated from Suzzanne. Both Martin Lee and Suzanne have kept quiet on the matter but it is widely speculated that they are doing it out of respect for their three children. The divorce has been hard on the children, the last thing the parents want to do is add to the pain by speaking on it publicly. Some media outlets have suggested that Martin Lee had an affair with another woman. He fell in love with the woman and wanted to start a new life with her which was what led to him asking for a divorce from Suzanne. There is no concrete evidence to prove that the girl was Kaski who is his current wife. Kaski would not confirm that she was the woman in the alleged affair. The only thing Martin would talk about publicly regarding the separation was his repeated statement that lost most of his possessions to her. There is speculation that Martin Lee was on the losing end because he was the negative catalyst that led to the divorce.
The rumor mill did not stop at the divorce for Martin Lee. There were a few rumors that Martin Lee was a homosexual. When asked about it by the media, Martin Lee would only say that it was a close call. When asked to elaborate, he said that he almost bought a leather miniskirt. He did not accept or deny the rumor, instead he decided to deflect the question by just giving a vague comment. It wasn’t a complete denial so some people felt there could be actual truth to the rumor. Still, no one ever saw him with another man and he was not known to have any boyfriends. After the rumor died down, people stopped assuming his way and just interpreted his miniskirt comment as a playful joke.
Kaski was not the first woman Martin Lee became involved with after his divorce from Susan. After the separation, he started dating Adelle Linau and the two started living together. They were together for two years before splitting up in 2008. Martin decided to leave Adelle so that he could start dating Castira. Their fling was short lived and quick as it only lasted one single year. Then in 2011, he started dating Kaski. Their chemistry was much better than his previous relationships leading to a marriage between the two after three years..
In Martin’s early years before his first marriage, he was dating Anne Seedwell for three years from 1979 to 1982. In 1984, he met Cristina Friedrich who ended up becoming the woman before Suzzanne. Martin and Cristina shared a relationship that lasted three years. It came to an end, pushing Martin to meet his eventual first wife Suzanne in 1987. As a child, Martin Lee never knew his biological father.
In 2002, the estranged father and son finally reunited for the first time. Martin Lee was able to get to know him really well. They shared a connection that seemed genuine without any ulterior motives. Some people have suspected that Martin’s father only sought after him when he found out that Martin was a rich and famous musician. During their talks, Martin’s father would sulk about his money problems. Being the loving and caring son, Martin did not hesitate to give his father the money.
