Eileen Tate is the wife of Emory Tate and together, they had three kids: Andrew Tate, Tristan Tate, and Janine Tate. While Eileen Tate’s former husband made a name as a legendary chess player and two of her sons are among the most known social media personalities, not so much is known about Eileen, even though she is the backbone of the family.
Emory Tate’s wife fell out with him after 12 years of marriage, and she moved to England, where she continued taking care of her kids as a single mother. Described as a strong woman, she has always maintained a very quiet life despite the successes recorded by her former husband and the heights attained by her rather controversial sons.
Who was Emory Tate’s Wife?
As indicated, Emory Tate’s wife used to be Eileen Tate. Details about her date of birth and family members have all remained unknown. However, it is known that she was born in Luton, England. It was also here that she was brought up.
Of English nationality and white ethnic extraction, Eileen got her education from Rotherham High School. From there, she went to Barnfield College in her hometown.
Emory and Eileen Tate Met in England
The love story between Eileen and her former husband began before the mid-1980s. At the time, Emory Tate Junior was in the Air Force, and he was stationed in Chicksands in Bedfordshire. It was here that they met for the first time as Emory was living at the Ministry of Defense base.
Soon after they met, the pair got into a relationship that led to marriage. When Emory was done with his service, he moved back to Chicago with his new wife. It was here that Eileen continued to settle for the next 12 years.
Their marriage was a successful one right from the start, and it was blessed with three kids, but it did not last for many years before Emroy and his English wife fell apart. The legendary chess player was always out on lengthy travels where he went to competitions, and once he returned home, a fight would always ensue between him and Eileen. According to the couple’s oldest child, Andrew, his parents were always fighting because his dad had a crazy temper, and his mom was always complaining about why it was so difficult to speak around him.
The hostilities continued until Eileen decided she had had enough, and she filed for a divorce in 1997, 12 years after they got married. As soon as the marriage was dissolved, she got her 3 kids and moved back to the UK, where she brought them up.
Emory Tate and Eileen Tate Had Three Kids Together
The marriage between Emory Tate and Eileen Tate came to a sad end in 1997 after only 12 years, but it still produced three kids; Andrew Tate, Tristan Tate, and Janine Tate.
The oldest child of the former couple is Andrew Tate, who was born on December 1, 1986, only a year after his parents got married. Named after his father and grandfather, Emory Andrew Tate III came to the limelight first as a kickboxer, and then he later became a businessman and social media influencer.
Now 37 years old, Andrew is a very controversial fellow who has been described as antifeminist and toxic. Although he described his father as an angry man who could go from 0 to 100, and he did not spend so much time with him, he claimed that he was the one who influenced his attitude the most.
Eileen Tate’s second child is Tristan Tate. He was born on July 15, 1988, and is now 35 years old. Like his other siblings, he was born in the United States, but he was mostly raised in the UK after his parent’s marriage ended when he was 9. Tristan is also a former kickboxer like his older brother, and he also maintains the same controversial posture. He is an entrepreneur, reality TV star, and social media personality. In June 2023, Tristan and his older brother were indicted on charges of rape and human trafficking in Romania.
The youngest member of the family is Janine Tate. She was born in 1992, which means he is now 32 years old. Janine was 5 when her parents ended their marriage. She is not as popular as her father or older brothers but has managed to stay away from the unending controversies surrounding her brothers. The graduate of the University of Kentucky, J. David Rosenberg College of Law, is an attorney in the United States. She is married to Norman Webb, and so she is also referred to as Jenine Webb. The couple is blessed with a son.
Eileen has a great relationship with all her kids, having raised them with hardly any help from her ex-husband on a council estate. But then, while talking about his mom, Andrew Tate claimed that his mother was neither soft nor nice. He described her as a mean and hard woman.
Emory Tate Did Not Re-marry Until His Death in 2015
Emory did not get married a second time after his divorce from Eileen Tate until his sad passing on October 17, 2015, at the age of 57. This means that he remained unmarried for more than 18 years after his divorce. Emory Andrew Tate Jr. lost his life in San Jose, Santa Clara, California, after he slumped in the middle of a tournament game. His cause of death was reported as a heart attack.
With that said, it is unclear if he got into any other relationship with any woman after his divorce. This is mostly because he kept a lot about his private life away from the public.
On her part, Eileen Tate also remained unmarried and single for many years after she left her former husband. It was made known by her kids that the main emphasis for Eileen after she returned with her 3 children to the UK was to work and provide the best for them. She took a job as a kitchen worker, where she cleaned plates and assisted in other roles in the kitchen. More so, she worked for the Newman Catholic School as a dinner lady. It was through this that she provided for her kids. Hence, she seemed to be too busy to get into a relationship or get married again.
Things changed for her in 2014 when she made it known that she was now in a relationship. She took to her Facebook and changed her relationship status from single to indicate that she now had someone in her life.
Close to a decade after she changed her relationship status, Eileen has not made any revelation on the new individual in her life, and neither has she given any update on how the relationship may be going. However, there are some unverified reports that she has since gotten married to her lover, and they are living together.
