Rachel Danis Defends Her Relationship With Patrick Clancy
Rachel Danis defended her relationship with Patrick Clancy while addressing the public scrutiny surrounding their marriage.
Their relationship became the subject of intense online scrutiny as Lindsay's murder trial unfolded, something Rachel addressed during her first public interview about their marriage.
"I don't understand how the story's been so twisted," she said, describing Patrick as "the most selfless father and supportive partner."
Rachel also pushed back against criticism surrounding how the couple met and their decision to build a life together.
Patrick Clancy Continues to Remember His Three Children
Patrick Clancy said he still speaks to his three late children 'all the time' as a way of staying connected to them.
Patrick shared Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, with Lindsay. The three children died at their Duxbury, Mass., home in January 2023.
Lindsay admitted to killing the children but pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility, with her defense arguing she was experiencing postpartum psychosis. Her trial ended September 4 after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
Patrick said his children remain a constant presence in his life, revealing that he still speaks to them "all the time."
Asked what he says, Patrick replied, "Help me."
"I like to believe they do," he said when asked whether they help him. "It's a way I stay connected to them."
