Relationship & Married Life

Amy was a member of the 'Phoenix Suns' cheerleading squad when she met Phil for the first time. At that time, she aspired to become an actor. Amy was junior to Phil at 'Arizona State University.' Phil had already become a celebrity golfer by then. However, Amy had no idea of Phil’s fame. She believed Phil worked at a golf-course shop.

Their first date was a tennis match between them. Phil later invited Amy to attend the 'Bob Hope Celebrity Pro-Am' in Palm Springs, California. They continued meeting each other and developed feelings for each other over time.

Amy and Phil dated for 4 years and got married on November 16, 1996.

They welcomed their first child, their daughter Amanda Brynn, on June 21, 1999. Their second daughter, Sophia Isabel, was born on October 23, 2001. On March 23, 2003, Amy gave birth to their son, Evan Samuel. Amy had a near-death experience while delivering Evan. During the delivery, an artery in her uterus had ruptured and that had complicated the process. As a result, the baby had stopped breathing. Nevertheless, the quick and decisive action of the doctors and the nurses saved both Amy and Evan. However, they were both in a critical state for a period of time after the birth.
