Paul Newman, who passed away in 2008, would have turned 101 on January 26, 2026 — and while most fans know the story of his 50-year marriage to his widow, 95-year-old fellow actor Joanne Woodward, fewer remember that Newman had already built a family and a life long before that chapter began. His first wife, Jackie Witte, was there during his struggling years, and the couple had three children together, before divorcing so that Newman could marry Woodward.
