Don Johnson at 73: How actor ditched his 'vices' to find love with wife Kelley Phleger
WICHITA, KANSAS: Hollywood veteran Don Johnson completes another year of his happy and eventful life. The ‘Miami Vice’ star turned 73 on Thursday, December 15. He will be celebrating his special day in a much calmer way with his wife of 23 years, Kelley Phleger, who turned his life upside down. Married for 23 long years, the Hollywood star couple is undoubtedly worth emulating.
Johnson and Phleger exchanged vows in April 1999, after his divorce from former wife Melanie Griffith. The ‘Knives Out’ star left everyone shocked when he quit drinking, partying, and his luxury-filled life to tie knot with a Montessori nursery school teacher. But he later revealed his luxurious life is worth nothing in front of the happiness Phleger gave to him.

As per Amomama, before Johnson met his wife, his life was filled with sorrow and grief. From a ranch to a private plan, the ‘The Hot Spot’ star had it all, but he was intensely unhappy about life. He only found the true happiness of his life when he ran into his wife. Johnson first met Phleger at a birthday party for San Francisco's mayor at the time. He revealed when he first saw Kelly, he was left completely mesmerized by her beauty and persona. “This statuesque brunette was clearly a woman of substance,” said Johnson about Phleger, according to Closer Weekly. “I made it my business to meet her,” be added.
