Greg Mathis & Linda Reese – 39 Years

You probably know Greg Mathis as the retired Michigan 36th District Court judge turned arbiter for the television courtroom show, Judge Mathis. However, before he became a prominent member of the law, Greg was quite the troublemaker in his younger days. Fortunately, thanks to a close family friend, the young Greg had the chance to study at Eastern Michigan University, where he found his interest in politics.

Judge Mathis has been on air since 1999. Twenty years later, it is now on its 21st season. However, before he met the success of his own show, Greg met Linda Reese, who also got her college degree at Eastern Michigan University. After his mother, unfortunately, passed away, Linda was there to help Greg get back on his feet. In 1985, the two decided to tie the knot. In their 39 years of marriage, they were blessed with four kids: Camara, Amir, Jade Mathis, and Greg Mathis Jr.
