Why Stevie Nicks Married Her Best Friend's Husband | Oprah’s Master Class | Oprah Winfrey Network

I made a choice years ago not to ever be married and not to have children because it would get in the way of being a true artist and following my true calling which is being the artist that I am now but the fact is is that I did get married for three months and then I got unmarried in 1981 my best friend her name was Robin she got leukemia and she was married to a man named Kim about two months into her cancer she was in remission and she got pregnant and then she went out of remission and then she went off of all treatment because she knew that she was gonna die and she wanted to leave that baby behind she wanted something to be left from her matthew was born Robin died and I was grief-stricken completely and utterly grief-stricken I had lost the best friend I had ever had in my life and I I just went on a mission you know because I wanted that baby and I convinced Kim and so three months after Robin died we got married and I thought that's what Robin would want somehow and it just blew up in our faces because it was so the wrong thing to take Matthew and her husband was so beyond insane that you know I mean I can't even tell you one day I went in and Matthew was sleeping and I swear to God when I ever I'd go in the nursery the the crib would almost it would seem like it was rocking to me and I would go she's here she's rocking the cradle and I went in there one day and it was just still and I and I looked at Matthew and I just went she's gone she's gone and I walked up stairs and I I waited for Kim to come home and I said I don't love you and and you don't love me you may think you love me but you don't and so I want a divorce I can't I can't even even my at my own self thinking sitting here right now going how could you what were you thinking you know I wasn't thinking and so that's the story of my marriage [Music]
