The couple had a son named Christopher Dow, born on March 26, 1973. However, after almost eleven years of marriage, Dow and Marlow decided to part ways and eventually divorced in 1980.

Second Marriage and Life with Lauren Shulkind

Following his divorce from Carol Marlow, Tony Dow found love again and got married to Lauren Shulkind. They first met around 1978-1979 in Kansas City and developed a romantic relationship.

After dating for three years, they tied the knot in 1980. Tony Dow and Lauren Shulkind were married for an impressive 42 years until Dow’s passing in June 2022.

The couple also had a son together, although information about him and their private life remains undisclosed due to Shulkind’s preference for a low-profile existence away from the media’s attention.

Carol Marlow: The First Wife

Carol Marlow holds significance in Tony Dow’s life as his first wife. While she gained some popularity through her marriage to the sitcom star, she was not involved in the entertainment industry herself. Not much information is available about her life after the divorce from Tony Dow.

Marlow chose to maintain a low-key profile, leading a private life and staying away from public scrutiny. As a result, there are limited details about her current activities or family life.

First Marriage to Carol Marlow

While Carol Marlow gained popularity through her marriage to Tony Dow, she was not an actress or public figure. Hence, not much information is available about her personal life after her divorce from Dow.

A Quiet Life After Divorce

After their separation, Carol Marlow kept a low profile and intentionally distanced herself from the media spotlight. Though social media and other platforms have gained popularity, there have been no recent sightings or reports about her.

Consequently, little is known about her current circumstances or if she remarried. It is worth noting that there is no evidence to confirm whether Marlow entered into another marriage or started a new family.

Preserving Privacy

Carol Marlow’s decision to maintain her privacy and keep her personal life away from the public eye has led to a lack of information about her current endeavors or relationships. While Tony Dow’s life and subsequent marriage have been reported to some extent, the same cannot be said for Carol Marlow.

As she remains an enigmatic figure, it is challenging to provide concrete details regarding her life after divorce or any potential new relationships.

Looking Ahead

Today, Carol Marlow’s whereabouts and activities remain unknown, and she continues to live a life outside of public view. As time has passed since her marriage to Tony Dow, there is a dearth of sufficient information available to shed light on her current circumstances.
