While there isn’t more about their initial romance, they reportedly started dating soon after Glenn’s divorce from his first wife Janie Beggs in 1988. The former flames were married in 1983.

Safe to say, the two exchanged their vows after over 5-year of dating.

How long were Cindy Millican and Glenn Frey married?

The two tied the knot in 1990. Both of them kept their wedding details to themselves. Reports say Cindy and Glenn were married in an ultra-private ceremony with only their immediate family members and close pals in attendance.
