Okay, let me walk you through how I ended up digging into the whole Lucas Glover first wife thing the other day. It wasn’t exactly planned, just one of those internet rabbit holes you fall into.

Starting the Search
So, I was just browsing online, maybe catching up on some sports news, and Lucas Glover’s name popped up. I remembered him winning the U.S. Open way back when. Then, for some reason, I got curious about his personal life – you know how it goes. I vaguely recalled some drama years ago, but wasn’t sure about the details or who was involved back then.
My first step was pretty basic. I just opened up a search engine and typed in something simple like “Lucas Glover wife”. Predictably, most of the initial results focused on his current wife, Krista Glover, and that incident from 2018. That wasn’t really what sparked my curiosity, though. I felt like there was an earlier chapter.
Digging a Little Deeper
Realizing I needed to be more specific, I adjusted my search terms. I tried things like:
- “Lucas Glover first marriage”
- “Lucas Glover ex wife”
- “Who was Lucas Glover married to before Krista?”
This started yielding better results. The name Jennifer Smith began appearing consistently in relation to Glover’s past. Okay, so that was the name I was looking for.
Now I had a name, so I started searching specifically for “Lucas Glover Jennifer Smith”. This brought up bits and pieces – mentions on older news articles, forum discussions, that sort of thing. It wasn’t like there was one neat biography page laying it all out.

Putting the Pieces Together
I spent some time clicking through various search results. It seemed they got married sometime before he really hit the big time, around the mid-2000s I think? It was definitely before the U.S. Open win in 2009. I found mentions that Jennifer was actually his high school sweetheart, which adds a different layer to the story.
I saw they had two children together, a daughter named Cille and a son named Luc. Found some references to them being a family unit during his peak golfing years.
Then, of course, the search led to finding out about their divorce. Pinpointing the exact date wasn’t straightforward, but it seemed to happen a few years after the U.S. Open win, maybe around 2011 or 2012? It’s always tough to get concrete dates for personal stuff like divorces unless it was super public.
Most sources mentioned the split but didn’t go into heavy detail about the why, which is pretty typical unless things get messy legally or publicly. Compared to the later drama, information about his first marriage and divorce seemed much more low-key.
Final Thoughts on the Process
So, that was basically my process. Started broad, narrowed it down, sifted through the noise, and eventually pieced together the story about Lucas Glover and his first wife, Jennifer Smith. It took a bit of clicking around, confirming details across different sources, because unlike current events, older personal history often gets buried or isn’t as well documented online.

It’s just interesting sometimes to trace back these public figures’ lives beyond the headlines you remember. Took a little effort, but I got the info I was curious about.
