From late 1964 to the 1979, Wilson was married to Marilyn Rovell, although they later divorced. Wilson has two daughters from this marriage: Carnie Wilson (born April 29, 1968) and Wendy Wilson (born October 16, 1969), who would go on to musical success of their own in the early 1990s as two-thirds of Wilson Phillips.
Marilyn, along with her sister Diane and cousin Ginger Blake met Brian Wilson in October of 1962 at Hollywood nightclub Pandora’s Box when the Beach Boys performed there.
At the time Ginger Blake was dating Brian’s collaborator and music producer Gary Usher. When the band was on stage Marilyn formed a crush on Carl while Diane formed a crush on Brian. After they finished their set, Brian asked for a sip of her hot chocolate and ended up spilling it on her blouse. They soon began dating after her crush on Carl waned, and at the time Brian was 20 while Marilyn was 14.
Marilyn and Brian were wed on December 7th, 1964. The career of the Honeys never took off and by the mid-sixties Marilyn was trying to nurse Brian through his schizoaffective disorder. As Brian became more famous more people began to take advantage of the band. One group was Charles Manson’s “Family” who had already moved in with Dennis Wilson. Whenever the “Family” would come over to Brian and Marilyn’s home, Marilyn would leave until they left and proceed to scrub every surface that they touched because they were all so filthy and disgusting. After the births of their daughters Carnie in 1968 and Wendy in 1969 she took it upon herself to toss out all of the crazed hangers-on who had attached themselves to Brian. She even had to padlock the refrigerator so that Brian would not be able to binge-eat as he had been doing.
In the mid-seventies her home life had become hellish due to Brian’s deteriorating mental health. She finally persuaded him to get psychotherapy after she pretended to go and came back home saying how happy she was. While it caused an improvement, the rest of the band and other members of his family got him to stop and go back to making music full-time. This caused him to sink deeper into depression and mental illness. By the mid-seventies their marriage was crumbling largely due to Brian’s mental problems and the fact that he had had an affair with Marilyn’s sister Diane and had other extra-marital relationships. Marilyn herself had had affairs that Brian had orchestrated with men close to their family.
The two split in 1979 when Marilyn finally reached her breaking point and decided that living with Brian was not healthy for their young daughters.
