They gave birth to two sons, Chase and Maxwell, and daughter Spencer, however, they filed for divorce and officially separated on 28 July 2005. Martha didn’t lose her belief in true love, so in 2007 she went on a blind date and eventually fell in love with Robert Reich, who became her second husband on 30 May 2009, after almost two years of dating. In 2013 Martha gave birth to triplets, Heaton, Wilder and Holden, after long years of waiting for a successful pregnancy, and a painful miscarriage in 2011.

Bringing up six kids
Martha is now the proud mother of six kids, and often shares tips on parenting. Her eldest son, Chase, is now a graduate of the University of Florida, and is studying to become a lawyer, attending Florida State University. Her son Maxwell is a hockey player, a member of the Florida Junior Blades. Her daughter, Spencer, has recently matriculated from high school, and now choosing which university to attend.
After giving birth to triplets, Martha shared her story of a painful miscarriage in 2011, after her unsuccessful usage of fertility drugs.
She felt blessed when her three kids were born healthy through a C-section. However, her daughter Holden had to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) as her weight was just 2.5lbs when she was born, not much over one kilo. The five weeks Martha had to tear herself between being home with her youngest sons and visiting her daughter in the NICU was the hardest time, according to Martha, as she felt so guilty leaving her newborn daughter alone. She also once shared they had some troubles with their daily routine and schedule, until they performed some sleep training with their triplets. At the end of 2014 the nursery where the triplets visited was blasted due to a gas leakage, while Martha’s kids were safe at home with their nanny. The whole family was shocked and had a hard times recovering from the thought that their kids could have died in the accident.
Divorcing Robert Reich
Martha filed for divorce in July 2019 ; in his 10 July petition Robert also admitted that their marriage was ‘irretrievably broken’. He also complained that Martha had removed the majority of the family photos which have him in them, and the walls had been empty ever since, creating even more pressure on their broken family life. He admitted he didn’t even know where she hid the photos, and Martha also kept silent, hinting that she threw them away or even burnt them. According to the information claimed in court, Robert is now dealing with serious financial troubles, while Martha is still a well-paid specialist; this means he wouldn’t be able to pay the alimony Martha insists on. The hearings are ongoing, as of September 2019.
The process of Martha’s divorce was highlighted by the Orlando Sentinel, but the author of the source wrote a lot of letters and messages questioning how come Martha’s divorce is the news, considering the case to be fully private. However, the director of content for operations and standards, John Cutter officially explained that Martha had always been a public person, and according to a recent Orlando Weekly poll, she is the most popular anchor in town, and he was fully satisfied (as a reporter) with the way the case was highlighted.
Martha is now reported to be dating Leland Liebe, but without further detail, except that he apparently has a good relationship with her six children.
Hobbies, favorite things and interesting facts
Martha is a big fan of sports; she likes running, participates in CrossFit competitions and supports the “Philadelphia Eagles”. She also likes blogging about her motherhood, being featured in multiple blogs and sources, supporting parents and giving some insights of her life as the mother of many children.
She doesn’t like cooking, and doesn’t spend much time in the kitchen, preferring eating out whenever she has such an opportunity. Even though it was quite hard with three babies, the family still went to cafes, admitting it became much easier as the kids grew up. The video of her toddlers making friends with the garbage collectors went viral, and attracted millions of views on YouTube. Heaton, Wilder and Holden were excited every time the garbage collector came up to their house; the kids hugged them, gave them water and helped them to collect the trash. It’s worth saying that Martha makes serious efforts to teaching her triplets Spanish, as she considers it a necessity in Florida.
