Long before Jimmy became the 39th President of the United States, he met his future wife when he was 3 years old as his mother, Lillian Carterhe helped give birth to Rosalynn in 1927. The two had married in 1946 before welcoming four children.
Days before their 75th wedding anniversary in July 2021, Jimmy called his marriage to Rosalynn during an interview with Good morning America.
“We’ve survived this long together because, first and foremost, we give each other enough space to do our own thing,” he added. “(But we still) share as much as we can. … In 75 years of marriage, we’ve always gone deeper in our love for each other. I think that’s something extraordinary. That doesn’t happen to a lot of couples, but it certainly happened to us.”
Rosalynn died in November 2023 surrounded by loved ones. “Rosalynn has been my equal partner in everything I’ve ever accomplished,” Jimmy said in a statement at the time. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew I was loved and supported.”
Jimmy he died a year later at the age of 100 years.
