Personal Life
Fator was the lead singer of a locally popular band called TEXAS The Band during the late-1980s through 2001, and met his first wife Melinda after she began to follow the band extensively. They married on January 8, 1991. Prior to landing his show in Las Vegas, Terry and his wife bought a home he deemed his "dream house" in Trophy Club, Texas. Melinda left Terry in January 2009 and returned back to Texas from Las Vegas where they had recently moved. She filed for divorce in February 2009 in Texas. Almost a year-and-a-half into the divorce, she then filed a second time in Nevada in 2010. After almost two years, a sudden settlement was reached in November 2010. On November 3, 2010, one day after the divorce was finalized, Terry married Taylor Makakoa (who, identified in the closing credits as "Taylor Dew", appears on Terry's DVD as his on-stage assistant) in Las Vegas. They had a wedding ceremony in Hawaii on November 7, 2010.
Fator and his wife, Taylor, supported Mitt Romney in the 2012 election.
