Mary Joan Martelly: Birth, Parents, Siblings & Education

Mary Joan Martelly’s birth date is unknown to the general public; however, she was born in the Eastern Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia, specifically in the village of Mon Repos.

Mary Joan had a strong interest in sports as a child. She is said to have participated in an unspecified sports team in high school, hoping to one day make it as a professional athlete.

This, however, was not the case, as she was forced to work in order to make ends meet following the death of her father.

After that, not much was known about her time in the United States until she met and began dating George Foreman.

They welcomed five children into the world as a couple. They have two daughters, Leola and Natalie, and three sons, George IV (Big Wheel), George V (Red), and George VI (Little Joey). Foreman has five other children from previous marriages and two adopted children.

His other biological children include sons George Jr. and George III, daughters Michi, Freeda, and Georgetta, and adopted children Isabella Brenda Lilja Foreman and Courtney Isaac Foreman.
