Hey there! You probably know Eve Plumb as the iconic Jan Brady from The Brady Bunch, a show that aired from 1969 to 1974. After the series ended, Eve's life took some interesting turns, including her first marriage to Rick Mansfield. But what exactly do we know about her ex-husband? And how did she find love again with her current husband, Ken Pace? Let's dive into the details and get the scoop on her love life.
What About Eve Plumb’s Ex-Husband, Rick Mansfield?
Eve tied the knot with Rick Mansfield in 1979, a full decade after her breakout role on The Brady Bunch. Now, here's the thing—Rick's not exactly the kind of guy who makes headlines, and there's not a ton of info out there about him or the reasons behind their split. What we do know is that their marriage was short-lived, lasting only until 1981. Interestingly, the same year their marriage ended, Eve reprised her role as Jan in the spinoff The Brady Brides. It was one of many spinoffs that kept the magic of the original series alive.
After that, Eve kept busy with her career, landing roles in popular shows like The Love Boat and The Facts of Life. She even returned to the world of the Bradys in the 1990 spinoff The Bradys. Through it all, she remained focused on her work. Eventually, though, she opened her heart again and found love once more with Ken Pace, her second husband.

Who Is Eve Plumb’s Current Husband, Ken Pace?
After her first marriage ended, Eve decided to take a more cautious approach to dating. She wasn't in a rush to jump back into the dating pool, but she was open to meeting someone new. In a candid interview with Natalie MacNeil in January 2011, Eve shared her approach to finding love again.
"I had been dating someone before I met my husband, and that didn’t work out," she recalled. "So, I told my friends, 'You know what, send me your men. I’m looking to date.' I wasn’t necessarily looking to get married, but I was hoping to find someone who liked me just as much as I liked them."
Eve also shared some advice her mom gave her about evaluating a relationship after three months. She took this advice to heart and applied it to her relationship with Ken, a business consultant. Ken, too, had his own rule: he wouldn't propose until they'd been together for at least a year. "That’s a good cycle to really get to know someone, their family, and all the holiday traditions," Eve explained.
Eve and Ken tied the knot in 1995, and they've been happily married ever since. Although they didn’t have children together, Eve has been open about her decision not to start a family. "Motherhood just wasn’t something that appealed to me," she said in a December 2015 radio interview. "I know it’s a tough job, and it’s not something I was willing to take on."
