Bayless had his experiences with love. He has been in four long-term relationships in his life, including his married life with high school sweetheart, after graduating from Vanderbilt. Ernestine, 54, is the present and second wife of Bayless. At age 62, Skip is a divorced and childless man.
On the first date, Skip said to her:
‘You will never be more important than my job.’
Ernestine adored him like most of the girls do. She stated:
‘He’s got a heart of Gold; He’s funny, shy, caring. He’s just a good guy.’
Skip's married life and children
Keeping the affair a mystery for many years, Skip and Ernestine got married. The couple's wedding was so personal that there were no pictures of their wedding over the internet.
However, they kept their marital status secret for many years.
Skip once married his junior high school girlfriend whom he married shortly after graduating from college and split later. Bayless accepted the fact that those decisions were a ‘Big mistake.' He didn’t want to reveal about their divorce.
Talking about Bayless' love life, no other woman has ever loved and cared for him the way his then-wife Sclafani has loved him. Manhattan-based publicist, Sclafani is the strongest-willed and genuine woman in his life better than the others.
