Kelley Phleger (born June 22, 1969, Age: 54 years old) is the wife of Hollywood actor, Don Johnson. Kelley Phleger has been married to Don Johnson since 29 April 1999 and they have three children.<\/strong><\/p>\n Kelley Phleger is a celebrity wife, socialite, and kindergarten teacher who became famous on account of her marriage to Hollywood celebrity actor, director, producer, singer, and songwriter, Don Johnson. Very little was known about her before she took the step to become the wife of one of Hollywood\u2019s top acts. Read to see what we know about her.<\/p>\n Phleger was born on the 22nd of June, 1969 in San Francisco, California, to Artherton Macondray Phleger and Jean Phleger. Her full name, unknown to many members of the public, is actually Mary Kelley Phleger.<\/p>\n Her mother\u2019s personal and professional details are not public knowledge but Kelley\u2019s father Artherton was a well-respected attorney who also served on the board of the reputable financial services company, Wells Fargo.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Kelley\u2019s storied heritage extends to her grandfather Herman Phleger who was once a U.S. delegate to the United Nations and also one of the founding name partners of Law Firm: Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison.<\/p>\n She spent the majority of her childhood in her hometown of San Francisco, California. She had her preschool education in the storied city and also enrolled in Urban High School, San Francisco, where she got her high school diploma.<\/p>\n After her graduation from high school, Kelley, unlike most of her peers, opted to remain in her hometown for her college experience. She was admitted into the University of California, Berkeley, which remains one of the most respected higher institutions in the U.S. There, she bagged a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Fine Arts.<\/p>\n Kelley Phleger is not just a pretty face whose job is to adorn the arms of her illustrious husband whenever they step out in public. On the contrary, she has successfully carved out a niche for herself in both the entertainment sector and the education sector of her country.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n She is very passionate about improving the lives of young people from the early stages of their development. It is therefore no surprise that she figured that the best way to make a lasting impact in the lives of these children was to become a kindergarten teacher<\/a>. Fame and social responsibilities have not dampened that passion one bit. Her husband, Don Johnson stated matter of factly, during a recent interview, that his wife is a kindergarten teacher at a Montessori school.<\/p>\n Aside from her teaching profession and socialite responsibilities, Kelley Phleger does a lot of philanthropic work. Not excluding her regular attendances at various charity functions, she also volunteers to NGOs who specialize in helping the homeless, less privileged, and, of course, children.<\/p>\n Some big things start out small and so it was for the celebrity couple who met and were introduced to each other at the birthday party of Don Johnson\u2019s co-producer, Jo Schuman Silver. Don was instantly drawn to her personality and practically kept her to himself for the duration of the party in a bid to know her more. The quite skeptical Johnson thoroughly enjoyed his time with the elegant Kelley and evidently, so did she.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This party took place in 1996 while Kelley was in a relationship with then-boyfriend, Governor Gavin Newsom. For Don Johnson, he had just come out of his fourth marriage, however, it didn\u2019t stop them from seeing each other and not long after, they began to officially date, prompting the inevitable end of Kelley\u2019s relationship with Gavin.<\/p>\n Don Johnson\u2019s high-profile personality and job meant that the public soon got wind of the relationship and they quickly became a hot topic in the mainstream media. After dating for almost three years, Don set aside his many prejudices against the institution of marriage and popped the question. Kelley was understandably hesitant at first, stating that she didn\u2019t want life in the entertainment sector.<\/p>\n Don Johnson, not willing to let her go, employed all his powers of persuasion including agreeing not to accept movie contracts she didn\u2019t feel comfortable with, to get Kelley to give in to his demands of marriage.<\/p>\n Finally, on the 29th of April, 1999, the couple tied the knot<\/a> at the Pacific Heights Mansion of Ann and Gordon Getty. Kelley Phleger was 29 years old at the time of the wedding while Don Johnson was 48 years old. The 19-year age difference was never an issue for the couple who believed they had both found the right partner.<\/p>\n\n
