Joni Lamb, the longtime president and co-founder of Daystar Television Network, passed away at the age of 65. The news was confirmed by Daystar, while the reson of her death hasn't been disclosed. It was only revealed that Joni was navigating a secret health battle, which, with time, worsened due to her back pain. Joni is survived by her husband, Doug Weiss and her three children from her first marriage.
Joni and Doug got married in 2023, two years after her first husband, Marcus Lamb, passed away. Doug recently took to his social media handle and shared an emotional post on Joni's passing.
Amid this, an old thread about Doug's personal life is again hitting the headlines. If the reports are to be believed, Doug was earlier married to someone named Lisa Weiss. There have been several gossip about Doug's personal life and his first marriage. So, let's explore the speculations and the gossip about Doug's alleged first marriage, which started in 2023.
Doug Weiss is an American psychologist, author, and speaker. He is a specialist in marriage counselling, and he also founded Heart to Heart Counselling Centre to offer specialised treatment for sex addicts, intimacy anorexics, and their spouses. Well, during the time Joni Lamb announced her engagement to Doug, his personal life came into focus. As per the reports, Doug was previously married to someone named Lisa Weiss. There have been no authentic verifications of these claims; however, as per several reports, Doug and Lisa met in 1994 and got married after dating for a while. Reportedly, they had been in a happy marriage, and it was in 2017 when Doug announced his divorce from Lisa, leaving everyone shocked.
Well, some other speculations were also up that Doug waited till the last moment to announce his divorce from his first wife, and did the same just two days before Joni announced her engagement to him. Well, there's no authentic backbone to such claims, and this was said in a viral IG video that features several montages, including an interview of Joni and Marcus' son, Jonathan.
The interview was cut short and edited, where he talked about someone who is a marriage counsellor, hiding his first divorce from the world and from his employee. To note, Jonathan didn't name anyone in the video. The same video also featured an interview with Joni and Doug when they were married to their respective spouses. In the clip, Doug was asked about 'Lisa', to which he added that the latter is someone with the 'purest heart'. Marcus Lamb was also featured in the clip, and when Doug was praising 'Lisa', saying she is someone who is always there to help others. It was Marcus who then said that 'Lisa' is almost like Joni.

While the actual, authentic timeline isn't publicly disclosed, there have been several reports about the alleged reason that Doug divorced his alleged first wife. Allegedly, he found out about infidelity, while some other reports also suggested that in several of his interviews, he said that he neglected his duties as a husband. Well, there's no official evidence of such claims. Doug and Joni married each other in 2023, and they have been together till her death parted them. With her passing, Doug released a statement, wherein he spoke about the current state he is navigating. His note could be read as:
"Today, I lost my wife, Joni. There are no words that really capture the weight of that sentence or the grief that comes with it. She was deeply loved, and the space she leaves behind is impossible to put into words. I know many people loved her and will want to reach out, and I'm incredibly grateful for the prayers, support, and kindness already being shown."
