Televangelist Jim Bakker was married twice. In 1961 he wed Tammy Faye LaValley. The two built a $125 million empire centered on The PTL Club (also called The Jim and Tammy Show). However, in 1987 Jim Bakker resigned amid a sex scandal, and he was later convicted of fraud and conspiracy counts. The couple divorced in 1992, while he was in jail.
Bakker was released on parole in 1994, and four years later he married Lori Beth Graham, a Pentecostal minister. The couple launched a new television ministry out of Branson, Missouri.
