Where Is Susan Tabler Now? Facts On Pat Tabler Wife and Family

Susan Tabler is the wife of former MLB player Pat Tabler. The couple currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Pat and Susan tied the wedding knot in 1979. They both were in their early twenties, making love and enjoying their youth. The pair reportedly began dating a few years before their nuptial and eventually walked down the aisle in the late seventies.

However, the sports commentator has not shared details regarding their relationship. People are only aware of general information such as his wife’s name, Susan Tabler, the time of their wedding, 1979, and the fact that she is American. Not to mention even Tabler’s Wikipedia page does not mention Susan and further marriage details. It says he has been married for a long period and has five kids. 

The Cincinnati, Ohio resident started his Major League Baseball (MLB) career in 1981 with the Chicago Cubs. Later Pat started working as the network’s full-time commentator for Blue Jays broadcasts in 2001. His fellow employee friend Buck Martinez serves as a play-by-play announcer at the Jays.

After almost 50 years of marriage, Martinez now resides in New Port Richey, Florida, with his wife, Arlene. A son named Casey was born to them; Toronto selected him in the 47th round of the 2000 First-Year Player Draft. Casey is married to Jennifer and has two kids named Zoe and Lara.

Pat Tabler married his wife, Susan Tabler, in 1979. They are still intact, and it has been 43 years.

The pair has been blessed with five children throughout their 40+ years of marriage, and all five of them have become adults and are getting on with their respective lives. According to some sources, all his children are married, and two have children, which means Pat and Susan have become grandparents.

“I go see my sons, the twins, play baseball and run track,” Tabler said while still playing in MLB. “I love that, spending time with the family. That’s the way it’s supposed to be, isn’t it.”

Maybe that is why the relationship between the two is still strong. Nowadays, any relationship barely lasts five or six years, and being together for more than 40 years is quite adorable. Their love and affection for each other still have the same spark as they did some four decades ago when they were early in their affair.

On the other hand, his broadcasting senior at the Blue Jays, Buck Martinez, is also fortunate in this regard, as his marriage with his wife Arlene even surpassed the Pat-Susan relationship. Buck and Arlene have been married for more than 45 years and are a few years short of celebrating their 50th “Golden” anniversary.
