Sadly, Joe’s alcoholism could not save their relationship from breaking. In the early phase of marriage, Joe could not stop drinking. Time and again, his wife warned him to be sober and even threatened that he could break the family with his addiction.

In 1987, he turned sober, all thanks to his former wife. During the 2015 ESPN feature, Joe claimed that his ex-wife helped him to get sober in 1987. He said:

My wife told me if I didn’t stop drinking, it would break up my family. So I quit.

However, their relationship did not work. Many tabloids mentioned Mays’s extra-marital affair with plastic surgeon Brian Novack, as the reason behind their divorce.

Talking about the current relationship, the former footballer, Namath seems to lead a single life now. There is no data on his current love life. Also, the man hasn't been linked with anyone in recent times. Further, he has a healthy relationship with his belongings.
