The unfortunate death of Naomi Judd in April 2022 must have caused a lot of grief. And among them was also her first husband, Michael Ciminella.
So who is he? Know everything about him; especially his age and net worth, as this article continues.
Meet Michael Ciminello, ex-husband of Naomi Judd
Michael Ciminella is the ex-husband of Naomi Judd. The two got married in 1989 when Naomi was just 17 years old and she was still called Diana Ellen Judd. After four years of marriage, Michael and Naomi welcomed their daughter Ashley Judd on April 19, 1968. Unfortunately, the duo broke up in 1972 due to irreconcilable differences.
According to Ashley, her father is a “feminist” and someone she loves. He was her “rock, companion, resource” and helped her listen to the doctors as she “cried and cried” as she was admitted to Sunninghill Hospital for leg surgery in Johannesburg, South Africa. She added that at the time, Michael kept rubbing her foot to remind her that even though she couldn’t move, she was still connected to her body.
Naomi’s other daughter, Wynonna Judd (born of Naomi’s relationship with Charles Jordan) also initially believed that Michael was her father for years. And while Michael has always treated her like her own daughter, in July 2012 Wynonna filed a lawsuit against her for defaulting on a $200,000 loan she took out to buy a property at Belgravia Court.
As reported, the amount according to the loan documents in favor of Wynonna was $242,317. However, Michael argued that the property was a gift, not a loan, and that it was unpleasant for Wynonna to ask for the return of the property 18 years after the fact.

Sadly, his first ex-wife, Naomi Judd, breathed her last in April 2022 at the age of 76. According to her daughter, Naomi died due to “mental illness”, but she did not give the actual reason for death.
However, Naomi’s second husband, Larry Strickland, once spoke about his wife’s depression on Good Morning America. “Get ready to walk that path with them, because you’re going to need them, they’re going to need you every minute,” he said at the time.
Additionally, in 2017, Naomi herself opened up about her struggles, stating that she was contemplating suicide while in the “dark hole of depression.”
“I was so depressed I couldn’t move… My husband (Larry) and my girlfriends and Ashley would come over and I’d go upstairs and close my bedroom door… You freeze up,” Naomi explained at the time. .
