Patrick McEnroe Married Life And Kids

Patrick and Melissa exchanged their wedding vows in December 1998 at Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church in New York.

The couple welcomed their first child, Victoria Penny, in 2006. She is a rising tennis star in her own right.

Similarly, they were blessed with twin daughters in November 2008.

The twins were born at 38 weeks, and the McEnroe couple hadn’t thought of their girls’ names, so they referred to them as A and B until they decided on their names.

“I loved the name Diana because it means ‘goddess of the hunt’ and ‘goddess of childbirth’ and I wanted to find a nice name for the smaller baby (B) and couldn’t decide between Caroline and Juliette,” said Melissa.

“I love Juliette and that name won out after I spent a few days calling her Caroline and finding myself confused how to pronounce it (Carolin? or caroLINE?).”

However, they finally decided to name their twins Diana and Juliette. They are very much interested in ballet.
