Ex-wife: Lourdes Salomone and their sons Joe and Ben

Mark has another ex-wife, his first one, the one who gave him the inspiration for most of the 1st DS album (water of love, setting me up, six blade knife) and I think also where do you think you're going and follow me home

Yes I posted the article about Kathy's son - I still have the article somewhere, it was on the Thomas Gygax site and was from The Daily Mail on March 1st 1997.    The son was called Samuel Knopfler, but later changed to Webster - the father's name.

In fact the link is still there on this page:

Oh, in that thread only one of the links works, looks like a three pages document... Is there any way to get the whole thing?

I'm sure I posted the whole thing, but here is the missing part:

"On Valentine's Day, in a secret ceremony on Barbados, attended only by his sons and a couple of friends, he tied the knot for the third time, to his girlfriend of four years, Kitty Aldridge.  Like him, Aldridge is no stranger to broken relationships.  Her first marriage, to South African director and Left-wing activist Neal Sundstrom, in many ways resembled the fated idealism of Mark and Kathy's.

Kitty and Neal dreamed of making political movies about South Africa - but in the late eighties, no one was interested.  They put up their house and car as security for the production and lost the lot when it bombed.  Unsurprisingly, the marriage crumbled.  Since then Kitty has risen to professional prominence by playing the lead female role in the BBC's adaptation of Michael Dobb's acclaimed political thriller To Play the King.  And she has lived with Knopfler, whom she met through racing driver Alain de Cadenet, one of the rock star's best friends, in 1991.  The couple are well suited.  Like Knopfler, Kitty is understated.  She dresses grungily and hates giving interviews.  The daughter of middle-class parents, who worked in oil, her friends tend to be bright, upper middle-class intellectuals, such as writer Esther Freud and the Earl of Lonsdale's niece, Camilla Lowther.  They live in Knopfler's Chelsea mansion and when they walk around the streets no one recognises them.  'Once', jokes his manager Ed Bicknell, 'a woman came up to him and said "You look just like Mark Knopfler".  He turned round and, laughingly, said "I wish I had his money"'.  One wonders, naturally, whether that wish is now echoed by Kathy Webster, who refuses to talk of her first marriage.  For a long time, it is said, she did not even tell Sam about Mark.  But then it is perhaps no good for either of them to dwell on the past.  For if Kathy hadn't betrayed him, Romeo and Juliet and the millions that it made for Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits might never have been."


I would take all of that article with a pinch of salt, because I think there are many inaccuracies and it 's just typical tabloid journalism.

jbaent,  I'm sure I'm telling you the obvious, but when you clicked on to the divshare link, there was a "previous" page.   ;D   I can type the whole thing out for you, if you wish and brush up on my typing skills!   :lol

Oh yes, but there are two pages there, and the document says 2 of 3, and obviously it ends suddenly, so there is something more...
However, I was asking for the text file, and what its in the divshare file is not a text but an image.

Nevermind, I dont want you to write it for me. If you already done that in the past and remember where, perfect, if not, I

Looking back to the topic...

Any picture of MK with Lulu, or Ruth?
