Lysa TerKeurst, 57, the renowned Christian author, has captivated readers with her bestsellers. Yet, despite her professional success, her personal life has unfolded with challenges that contrast the perfect image many might expect.
Married to Art TerKeurst for 29 years, they shared five children and even became proud grandparents, but their relationship took a dark turn when she discovered his infidelity and addiction in 2017. Despite the chaos, the couple tried to patch things up and even renewed their vows in 2018. It seemed like they were ready for a fresh start, but, as they say, once a cheater, always a cheater.
Fast-forward to 2022, and the reconciliation fell apart. Art’s “patterns of behavior” resurfaced, leaving her no choice but to file for divorce.
But don’t think for a second that she is licking her wounds. She’s found love again with her new husband, Chaz Adams. Now, this chapter of her life is all about fresh beginnings, and it looks like the best is yet to come for her!
She is Head Over Heels For Her New Hubby
Lysa has always been a hopeless romantic, and her path to finding “the one” has truly reached a fairy-tale ending. After the heartbreak in her previous marriage, she stayed true to her faith, believing that love would find her again. And it did, in the form of Chaz—her perfect match. They met in January 2023.
Just a year later in January 2024, their love story hit its dreamy high point, when they had a stunning wedding in the French Alps. Snow-capped mountains, a breathtakingly gorgeous venue, and all her kids and grandkids right there beside her. It was the ultimate fairy-tale moment. For Lysa, it wasn’t just a wedding—it was the beginning of a new, love-filled chapter.
Since then, Lysa has been proudly showing off her love for her new husband. Whether it’s fishing trips or concerts, she’s constantly sharing their adorable couple moments on social media, and fans are loving every second. In a video posted on March 20, 2024, the two were all smiles, soaking up life and spreading good vibes with family and friends.
And their kids? Totally on board! Lysa’s daughters, Hope, Brooke, and Ashley, along with Chaz’s daughter Leah, were seen living their best lives at the Era’s Tour in April 2023, as captured on Hope’s Instagram. Their family couldn’t be happier, and let’s be real—Lysa’s glow says it all! She’s head over heels, and we’re all here for it!
Adams Was Married Twice Before
Before Chaz became the other half of the NY Times bestselling author, he had his share of life chapters. He was married twice before—initially to Mary Adams, with whom he shares two children, Leah and Michael.
Later, he married Lauren Adams, and their divorce was finalized in 2022.
Raised in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, Chaz built a successful career in the insurance industry. He earned a degree in Finance from the University of Central Florida and started his career in 1994 with Coordinated Programs in Jacksonville. By 1996, his passion for providing personalized service led him to establish CMA Insurance and Financial Services, Inc. As he marks his 30th year in business in 2024, he continues to thrive, now with Lysa by his side.
The Uncanny Resemblance Between Her Current and Ex-Husband
When Lysa announced her relationship with Chaz, the rumor mill wasted no time. Speculation flew as fans pointed out how much he resembled her ex, Art, with some even confusing the two.
When her wedding photos dropped, the buzz only grew—was Lysa giving Art another chance, or had she simply found someone who looked a little too similar? The resemblance definitely raised some eyebrows, leaving people wondering if she might just have a type.
