Jeanette and Ace did not legally divorce, but they were separated for the remainder of his life. After seven years of marriage, the spouses split but did not finalize their divorce.
In his 2012 book, No Regrets, Ace reportedly wrote about the end of his marriage.
“A fresh start was in order and part of the process involved legally separating from my wife,” he wrote in one excerpt from the book.
In 2018, Ace moved on with ex-girlfriend Lara Cove. Six years later, he confirmed their split during a 2024 concert.
“I broke up with my ex, Lara. Sorry. She’s gone,” Ace said, according to several outlets. “I still care about her. Wonderful girl, beautiful girl. We decided to part our own ways, and she’s happy, I’m happy. It was just time. Things go south, right? Three out of four marriages end after five years in this country, statistically. I don’t wanna be a bearer of bad news, but that’s reality.”
