Mel shares his sons with ex-wife Fabiana Owens (née Pimentel). The two tied the knot in 2002, and she filed for divorce in 2020, according to Us Weekly. Following the divorce, Mel’s focus was on his then-teenage sons.
“While life took an unexpected turn with the passing of his father and the end of his marriage, Owens channeled his energy into being the best father he could be, focusing on raising his sons and coaching their extracurricular sports teams,” the former football star’s Golden Bachelor bio revealed.
Per Us Weekly, Mel and Fabiana, who is 19 years his junior, agreed to joint custody when they divorced. They cited irreconcilable differences in their filing, which was finalized in December 2024, according to Daily Mail.
