Beth Shuey is presently 56 years old and was born in 1968 in Indiana, United States of America, but her exact birth date and month aren’t known. Beth originally hails from Morrocco, a small town in Indiana. She has American nationality and belongs to the Caucasian ethnic group.

Beth comes from a family of four, including her mother- Joyce Antcliff, her late father – Thomas Milton Shuey, and her sister Debbie Shuey Doyle, with whom she was raised in their hometown. Debbie is based in Greenwood, Indiana where he works as a director for a private company, LilliNow.

Sean Payton’s Ex-wife Previously Worked as a Salesperson

Growing up in her hometown in Morrocco, Beth Shuey attended the local North Newton Junior and Senior High School. She obtained her diploma in 1986 and then proceeded to Indiana State University, Terre Haute, where she studied marketing for four years and earned a bachelor’s degree in 1990.

Upon graduating from the university, Beth started trying out her hands on different things in order to make ends meet. She moved to the city of Indianapolis and got a job in business sales and thereafter worked as a Divorce Care Leader. She also served as a coach at Cross Timbers Church in Argyle, Texas.

Beth Shuey is also an author and one of her publications is Beautiful Ashes. She may have other engagements which are believed to be mostly about business and entrepreneurship.

Beth Shuey Was Sean Payton’s Wife From 1992 To 2012

Beth Shuey and her ex-husband, Sean Payton, met while the former was an undergraduate at Indiana University and the latter was working in the university as a coach while still schooling. This was sometime in the late 1980s and Sean, impressed by Beth’s beauty and intelligence, decided to ask her out. She accepted and they started dating thereafter.

Sean was amazed at how she took a gross and genuine interest in his coaching career. However, the early days of their relationship were not an easy one because they lived in different towns. While Payton was working as a running back/wide receiver’s coach at Indian State University, Beth was almost done with her studies and relocated to Indianapolis.

However, they put in their best and didn’t let the distance interfere with the love they shared for each other. They managed to bridge the gap by taking turns in visiting each other. In 1992, they got engaged, and in the same year, they took a step further and tied the knot, precisely on the 11th of July 1992.

Beth and Sean started living together happily and were one of the most admirable NFL couples of their time. Beth proved to be very understanding and supportive of her husband as she always followed him to the different cities he traveled to given the demands of his work. She supported her husband and together they grew his Payton’s Play It Forward Foundation. Just as in his career, Beth was also a supportive partner on the home front.

What Happened to Beth Shuey’s Marriage to Sean Payton?

Beth Shuey and Sean Payton’s marriage lasted for 20 years. And, for these years, they seemingly enjoyed a scandal-free marriage. For many of their fans, the couple were already having a happily ever after marriage but sadly, this was not the case as they started drifting from each other and eventually decided to go their separate ways.

They filed for divorce in July 2012 and to date, there has been no clear reason behind their split. However, their filing only stated that there was a conflict of personalities between them which destroyed the legitimate ends of the marriage and shut out reasonable expectations of reconciliation.

While Sean asked for joint custody and private division of assets, Beth asked for sole physical custody, child support, and payment of medical bills for their kids. It took them almost two years to come to terms and they eventually finalized their divorce processes in 2014.

Who Is Beth Shuey’s Second Husband?

Eight years after their divorce, Beth Shuey remarried her second and current husband named Jamie McGuire, a real estate broker based in North Carolina. The two met and started dating in 2010 and later got married on 20th September 2020.
