LISA'S MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE

All three of Lisa's children, including Tucker, and daughters, Haven and Clancy Cauble, came from her 24-year marriage with ex-husband, Steve Cauble. The former couple divorced in 2012, days before the debut of the singer's stint on "Survivor."

Clancy starred alongside her mom in the 2016 movie, "Hearts Of Spring."

Lisa revealed it was a painful encounter, which she never thought would happen. She also admitted that signing up as a contestant on "Survivor" was a way of diverting her attention from the sad divorce.

DEALING WITH THE DIVORCE AND KIDS

Despite the divorce, the duo remained best friends and parents to their adult children, spending family time together, sharing holidays and anniversaries as a family.

Their unusual closeness kept their children from feeling the void of lacking a real family. The ex-couple once recounted their daughter's observation saying:

"At one point, our daughter, Clancy said, 'Mom, I think you're going to have to let me know when you get divorced because I won't be able to tell when it happens.'"

As part of her adjusting phase, the 56-year-old got a nose piercing, joking that it was an alternative to shaving her hair after a breakup.

CLANCY GREW UP TO BECOME MOM'S REPLICA

Due to her strong moral standards, the mother of three kicked against her children's foray into the spotlights, until they reached a certain age, and bagged a college degree.

Her last daughter, Clancy, who had interests in the arts, soon met the criteria. It can be recalled that she starred alongside her mom in the 2016 movie, "Hearts Of Spring," with Clancy playing the Lisa's fictional daughter.

The two did great together on set, becoming the best onscreen mother-daughter-pair, thanks to their unique resemblance and emotional connection.

Clancy has gone on to star in other movies, as she is fast becoming a rising star, just like her mom, with the same moral standards.
