Dylan appears all smiles as McLean leans over to kiss her cheek while he holds his Walk of Fame star. When speaking of Dylan, McLean calls her “the most wonderful person that I have ever known” and says he will often “think of her when I sing a lot of my songs.”
Starting off and still sticking together
Originally, before starting a relationship with Paris Dylan, Don McLean had been married to Carol Sauvion, executive producer and director of the PBS series Craft in America. However, the couple split in 1972 after ten years of marriage. In 1987, McLean married Patrisha Shnier but they too divorced in 2016 after McLean plead guilty to domestic violence. When McLean spoke ill of Shnier, Shnier publicly noted that there is a restraining order that prevents him from using social media “to continue abusing me as domestic abusers always do.”

Speaking of Dylan, McLean instead says “I’m honored to have her as a girlfriend and a partner and we have no plans to ever break up.” He further claims, “We are going to stay together and ride this pony as long as we can” and that “Love is the most important thing you can have,” McLean told the outlet. “You have to love somebody. Hate is such a burden. It’s a complete waste of time. I love my children and I love my girlfriend. I’m crazy for her.” Hopefully actions will speak for themselves.
