But she does, and it’s courtesy of her beloved husband of almost 50 years, Jerry Sheindlin.
Fortunately, the two reconciled and were wed again just one year later.
We have to say, Jerry does look pretty good for an octogenarian.

Notably, Jerry had a career trajectory similar to Judy Sheindlin, who also practiced in New York.
Coincidentally, former NYC Mayor Koch was the one who appointed Judy to the bench.
Jerry signed on for one season, 1999-2000, and completed most of the 2000-2001 season too.

He also somehow found the time to author two books and appear in another television series in 2012.
This was after the couple had been dating since their impromptu meeting in a bar.
Still, regrets soon came after their expedited divorce, and in 1991 they remarried.

Today,their blended familyhas expanded to include 13 grandchildren.
Jerry enjoysthe spoils of his wife’s reality TV stardomat their newest residence in Naples, Florida.
