Some celebrity marriages, like Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, last a really short time. However, there are other celebrities whose marriages lasted for over 20 years. One celebrity marriage that lasted for a short time is that of Dallas Yocum to Mike Lindell.
Read on to discover why their union did not go beyond two weeks.
What Happened to Dallas Yocum and Mike Lindell’s Marriage?
Dallas Yocum is an American internet personality and entrepreneur born in 1980. She gained recognition for her romantic association with Michael James Lindell, known as Mike Lindell. Mike Lindell is the founder and CEO of ‘My Pillow’ since 2004.
Yocum and Lindell met in 2011. From the moment they met, they appeared to have fallen in love, leading to their decision to get married in 2013. But their union did not last as they went their separate ways two weeks later.
Strange things happened between them, leading their marriage to fall apart. It is alleged that Yocum left everything behind to move to Minnesota so she could be closer to and live with Lindell. But as Lindell would later clarify, he said that leaving family and friends behind to move to Minnesota was one of the significant factors that led to their separation.
Mike Lindell Explains Why His Marriage With Dallas Yocum Fell Apart
In an interview with Star Tribune, Mike Lindell explained several reasons his 2013 marriage with Yocum fell apart. He said that his ex-wife left him because she thought he was boring. Lindell claimed his ex-wife told him: “I don’t love you. I never loved you. You’re boring. We have nothing in common, and you’ve ruined the last two years of my life.”
It is a bit difficult to determine the sudden change in their love story. This is mainly because they had previously been together for two years before marriage.
As mentioned, Dallas Yocum moved to Minnesota from her hometown to live with Lindell in 2013. Later, she complained about not being close to her loved ones. But according to Lindell, several of Yocum’s family members relocated to Minnesota and started working for My Pillow.
Lindel and Yocum signed a prenup before their wedding, so the divorce did not affect his wealth. But Youcm left with the wedding ring, some jewelry, and money she earned from her position in MyPillow.
The union with Yocum was not Mike Lindell’s first marriage. He was married to Karen Dickey, with whom he shares four children.
Mike Lindell’s Strong Political Leanings
Mike Lindell is a huge supporter of Donald Trump. The My Pillow Guy is also seen as a conspiracy theorist, businessman, and political activist.
Following the 2020 US general elections and the widespread claims of election fraud by the Donald Trump Campaign Team, Mike Lindell launched a contest that would reward anyone with five million dollars if they could prove that his trove of cyber data and packet captures from the 2020 November election are invalid. Lindell had declared that his data packet shows that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.
Robert Zeidman, who claims to be a computer scientist, entered the contest and did just that. However, Lindell refused to pay him, leading to a lawsuit by Robert Zeidman asking the court to compel Lindell.
A decision of an April 2023 arbitration panel states that Zeidman has successfully demonstrated that the data contained generic information about polling places and was utterly unrelated to the claims of election fraud. The court then ordered Mike Lindell’s company to pay the man his five million dollar reward.
In response to the court’s decision, the My Pillow CEO said in an interview that Zeidman was part of “a big cover-up to a much bigger picture” and shouldn’t have been allowed in the contest in the first place. This shows the extent to which Lindell is deeply entrenched in partisan politics, even though he is only a businessman.
While Lindell remains in the spotlight, there is no information on Dallas Yocum’s life. No one knows if she remarried or the life she leads now.
