Smothers’ first marriage was to comedian and musician Dick Smothers, whom she met when one of his friends invited her backstage after one of his shows. They married in 1986, when she was 27 and he was 47. The comedian and musician told The Morning Call in 1993, “When I first saw Lorraine, I flashed on her and then pursued her.” According to Heavy, their oldest child, Sarah, was born in 1987 followed by son Remick in 1989.
These days, Wallace and Smothers live alone in the same massive Washington, D.C., house they moved into after marrying in 1997. They do, however, have another property in Maryland that overlooks the Chesapeake Bay, where all the kids and grandkids gather together, per Town & Country. Although Smothers is a Virginia native, a 1986 Chicago Tribune piece describes her as a “Washington socialite,” perhaps anticipating where she’d eventually end up.

Proving how dedicated she is to her family, Smothers completely changed her routine when Wallace first took on the morning show and had to start waking up at 5:15 a.m. on Sundays, only returning to the house when his youngest son was just waking up. As CBN reports, rather than giving up cooking for the family, she had to figure out how to continue feeding them all in spite of them being on completely different schedules.
