Who is Eddie Vedder’s wife?
Eddie is currently married to philanthropist and former fashion model Jill McCormick. The couple met and began dating shortly after his divorce from Beth Liebling in 2000. Eddie has been notoriously quiet about his split from Beth over the years, but his time with Jill has received quite a bit of media attention.
Eddie and Jill met the same year that he split from Beth. The couple dated for 10 years before officially getting married in 2010. In that interim period before their marriage, fans learned a lot about Eddie’s romantic life. He and Jill welcomed daughters Olivia and Harper in 2004 and 2008, respectively. In a 2006 Rolling Stone interview, the star was questioned about the lyrics in his song “Satan’s Bed,” which seemed to attack the modeling industry, something Jill was a part of for years.
To those questions, Eddie said, “Look, the person I fell in love with, that happened to be her job. There were a couple days where it was like, ‘Wow, this seems contradictory.’ It had to pass a harder test than falling in love with just anyone. And it did.”
Per US Weekly, Eddie proposed to Jill in 2009 in Washington, D.C., after performing at that year’s Kennedy Center Honors. The couple was married in an intimate ceremony in Hawaii the following year and have been happily together ever since.

Olivia is an independent singer who has released songs such as “My Father’s Daughter” and “There’s a Girl.” She has more than 70,000 followers on Instagram.
As for his younger daughter, Harper also has an interest in music.

He has also performed live with Harper singing backup vocals in the past.
