McEnroe is down-to-earth, he doesn't bullshit. I'm glad he's found happiness with his wife Patty. She's a sweetheart.

I like how mcEnroe stayed in shape throughout the years.

Listen to how this man is talking. This is John McEnroe. This is what love can do for you.

I remember hearing decades ago that they were a couple, and I honestly didn’t know that they were still together. Not that they care one bit what I think, but it’s really nice and refreshing to see them still going strong. It’s so rare in these times. They are blessed.

This was the most honest I have heard anyone speak about themselves! Well done McEnroe

McEnroe is one of my all time tennis heroes. Currently reading his book, “You Can’t Be Serious.” He’s s great man, father and husband.

McEnroe sits apart from so many broadcasters. His commentary is succinct. He does not over talk. He provides insight that non-world level players would not know. He is smart and a great player-turned broadcaster.

The love of a great partner is able to nurse your soul back to full health.

Whether you like Mac or dislike him... You gotta feel happy for him for finding someone that makes him happy.

Happy for him, he found a great woman.

Patty is the best thing that ever happened to him and he openly admits it.

You see an emotional MAC when he talks about Patty halfway through the piece. Hard to hide the emotion. What a great match they are

He's not short of a word or two.🤩 Excellent communicator along with his other talents.

I'm impressed by his insights as a commentator and his emotional honesty as a man.

They are such great people. John & Patty truly are a couple to be admired.

What a great guy and beautiful beautiful woman. Seriously, two completely genuine, intelligent, interesting individuals. As a duo, wow. Thanks guys.

John McEnroe is one of a kind amazing Tennis player and he was great for Tennis. He’s a living legend and I love the way he announces tennis

Big fan of John McEnroe when he played professional tennis. And now I like to hear him talk. As a commentator, in interviews, whatever. An intelligent and sensitive man, I feel. And pretty honest and outspoken. A nice modest interviewing style by Graham Bensinger.

John is very honest and a very smart person.

A piece of humble pie never hurt anyone.

Scandal was one of my favorite bands back in the 80s.

My high school crush - I thought I could tame him lol Happy he is doing so well 💙

I always liked him. Growing up watching him play on Tv with my dad brings back good memories.

McEnroe is an excellent tennis commentator. He does not pull punches and he tells the truth even if people get offended.

Johnny Mac is such a thoughtful man...and on the court he was a magician...

Appreciate John’s transparency. Very genuine.

David Crosby in his autobiography talked about his mom telling him, 'Find someone you can make happy.' And he said, 'Don't you have that backwards? Shouldn't I find someone who will make me happy?' And she said, "No. If you can make someone happy they will make you happy." He found this good advice and late in life, finally got his act together marriage wise and father wise.

Beautiful Words by McEnroe wonderful player and husband :)

this guy is still an amazing tennis player at 61......one of the all time greats.....no doubt

Great tennis player, great commentator and it sounds like he’s a great husband and father.

Two of my favourite people, John the tennis player and colour commentary and Patty Symth singer musician with Scandal and solo.

Loved this interview! I wish other men could learn from John, and be open to starting new, instead of the cliche ‘girls just got fun’. Smart man. Glad to hear he and his second wife made it work.

John McEnroe, Bill Burr, Kevin Hart and Charles Barkley should do a show together. Just comment on everything from world events to local quirks. Sports, cars, women, children, marriage, divorce...anything. It would be the best, most honest social commentary in the world. It would be totally unvarnished and people would love it.

john and patty thanks for finding each other

I saw a different interview a while back with Johnny Mac talking about Patty and John said when they first got serious John said to her This is great, we can tour together and you can be my lead singer (John would play lead guitar)...Patty replied, Well I'd like to play Wimbledon as a mixed team with you and John said; You can't, you aren't a professional tennis player...to which Patty replied; Exactly!

This dude is an amazing listen very honest

Good for you John never quit keep moving forward

Love both john & patty. Very nice people👍

Much respect for this man...

McEnroe is so honest. Intense guy and I really like him

the most exciting thing I saw in seventy years was Mac winning the US OPen over BOrg with two top spin lobs in a row, and the Forty Niners first SUper Bowl

Hes so right. The sum of 2 parts is so much stronger than alone. Its like a team effort. When its on, ITS ON, capeche?

Thanks, Graham.

I looked up Patty Smyth recently on the internet and checked out photos of Patty and John together. In all the times I've seen John on TV he never looked half as happy as in those pictures. Patty looks more serious. So I would say John she makes you happy. Be sure you're you're doing your best to make her happy.

You want the Donk-Donk?! I can do that! (Love his cameos in 30 Rock and SNL.)

HAVING JUST VIEWED HIS CAREER STATS...MY ADMIRATION FOR HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS GREW.

John is the Best, The world 🌎 is a better place knowing that he is in it.

I never knew they were married nor that he does music! My fricken favorite type of music appreciation morsel; surprise/crossover. Yay!

Love This Man , Such A Stud! Great Advice From Some One That Knows….. (Patty Scorrrrrrr) 💪🇺🇸🌴🎉

2 people that I hood in very high regard. John and Patty

There's redemption for everyone, good for your John, Jesus be with you, your a good guy--

Super Mac! Def a NO nonsense type of individual, he calls a spade a shovel and is now an accomplished broadcaster of tennis. Skills Mac.

They are Awesome!!!!

For some reason, when I first heard about it, Patty Smyth seemed to be the perfect fit for John McEnroe.

Sounds about right . Smart guy.

She must be an angel

Had the hugest crush on him as a kid. Tennis was my life too.

Love John and patty

I watched John play with my grandfather 40 yrs ago. My grandfather didn't like him. Gramp would roll in his grave if he could see the man John has become.

Like a different person who played tennis.. always been one of my favorite

Who wouldn't be happy with Patty, she's still a Hottie!!!

Did not know these two were married. How did I NEVER know this tidbit?

I like the bloke, he is a good knowledgeable commentator.

Inspiring

I like a man who has many kids (and loves them.)

Never thought this would come from me. As far as commentating he has been my favorite. He's to the point and what I like less useless chatter is better.

I'm a huge Johnny Mac fan

i dont think ive ever seen him smile.

great couple.

When is she coming out with a new album?

John is happy now:) Lovely woman:)

Love Johnny Mac. Best tennis sportscaster!

"You can't be serious!" LOL! Just kidding.

It's funny he was the "bad boy" of tennis but in real life he seems humble, thoughtful and genuinely nice. Not a bad guitar player either.

xoxo great!

Relationships are a team -commitment

Awesome discussion with a totally awesome and honest guy, growing up in the UK tennis was a big part of our entertainment and beside the king of tennis at the time (Borg) watching Mac was always entertaining, he potrayed the guy, everyone loved to hate...such a quality player, in the days when tennis wasn't just a serve and volley game. You would live for the Mac Vs Connors games...Tennis at it's best.

McEnroe is the best

Exelente pareja un unos mejores Tenistas y comentarista Juego del Tenis. Y la Dama un de las mejores 🙂 Cantante 😛 de ROCK de lo Ochentas. Era ta exelente Cantante que el Maestro Edie Van Halen después de David se fue a ella la consideraron para cantar con la banda de Van Halen. Ante Que Samy . Le deseo mucha felicidad y salud

There are No Mistakes in love... 😉

What’s with the ego comments he seems a genuinely humble contrite man, certainly learnt the hard way in some things but he isn’t Robinson Crusoe there

I had to look up the word succinct

Wow, Johnny is looking just as I remember his father which is logical but time does zip by doesn't it... Oh and I look like my father too, ha.

It is interesting how both Agassi and McEnroe were so obnoxious and self centered as young men and so wise and mature as older men. No question McEnroe is the best tennis analyst, especially when he works with his brother, ever.

I would rather watch him playing tennis than any of the guys playing today, he was original, so artistic and above all so entertaining!!

Great Simpin', John.

a flawed but very good person

... Goodbye To You ... John ... Goodbye To You ...

People loose sight of Patty giving up her career to be with John in fact she was Eddie Van Halen's 1st choice to replace David Lee Roth after he left the group & she turned him down.

Dude if he never met his 1st wife he would have probably had a much better career.

Tatum oneal his first wife actually said that Patti was a much better match for john. She said they both are incredibly disciplined & organized people. She had a bad childhood from what I read in her book & sadly battled addictions. I think the worst thing she did was give up her career to be a tennis wife. I don't know if McEnroe made her which she says he did. I get she had taken time away to be a mom but I dont know if it's great to have one partner have all the power & career while u lose ur own identity to another person. Plus tatum had those drug problems & relapsed. She said when she was doing a lot of cocaine when she met john that his plan to get her off was to get her pregnant. That is so not a good idea. U should never use a child to make ur problems go away. She needed to do it on her own I believe she was only 21 when she got pregnant before they married. Him & Patti have been married for decades. Maybe john was in a better place to be a husband & dad bc his career was over.

Mcenroe took a long time to recover from Tatum O'Neal. When you marry nuts. It is hard to not become one

çomeon JOHN!!

Nestlé water??

What you see with McEnroe is what you get theres no sides to him. Not many of those people about nowadays.

In my opinion Patty is far more famous than John. I know his name but have never watched him play tennis. I have been listening to Patty sing since '81.

The divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32 and 19:9. However, the wife, in the above scriptures, is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews (that Jesus was speaking to) were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39. Unlike the synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke, which were written to evangelize the Gentiles, Matthew was written to the Jews, and has of 24 characteristics that identify it as intended for the house of Israel. The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death. The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. Christ's death on the cross caused the Jews to become dead to the law of Moses, so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the ordinances of law of Moses as justification, over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the ordinances of the law is no longer possible, for Israel, and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15. Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife. Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned, by an unbelieving spouse, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way some translations word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not enslaved" which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, which is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 shows the Apostle Paul giving those who are abandoned permission to remarry, do not understand the command that Christ gives is to an abandoned husband, in 1 Corinthians 7:11, and that he "must not divorce" his wife, and his wife is commanded to "remain unmarried or else be reconciled" to her husband. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh, due to one's unbelief, puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, and himself, by implying that Paul has issued an opposing command to verses 10-14 in verse 15. Some also teach that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to both divorced men and virgin women, and not exclusively to men and women (virgins) who have never been married. This has been falsely taught for some time in churches as referring to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, which, for them, also includes those who are divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context, that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and the apostle Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound", in these verses, is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:14-16. The Jewish couples in ancient Israel, who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death, either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with verses 25-26 speaking exclusively to men that have never married. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly in regard to virgin women who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is speaking of a virgin who has become of age to bear children when it says, "let them marry." This is a clear command, to a single man, who has taken a virgin to be his wife. Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring again to the single man who decides it is better not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged), under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which again means single men, in the congregation, who have betrothed a wife, do well if they marry, and those who choose not to marry their virgin brides do better, under the current climate. For more proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unscriptural unions. The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24. Mark 10:1-12 and Matthew 19:1-12 both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans, and likewise Luke to evangelize the Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching. Please use wisdom when living in any situation against what the scriptures command.

and he had 2 more kids with Patty

Wow he is still very handsome

The second lease on lifd was an illusion. His wife, Tatum, came with big problems of her own.
