Dr. Rachel Danis has made headlines following her first interview with her husband, Patrick Clancy, formerly married to Lindsay Clancy. The interview aired on CBS News’ 60 Minutes, where Danis, 37, expressed her support for Clancy, describing him as a ‘selfless father and supportive partner.’

The Couple’s Meeting and Shared Loss

The couple met at a New York City run club in January 2024, after Patrick Clancy’s tragic loss of his children Cora (5), Dawson (3), and 8-month-old Callan. The children died under devastating circumstances, with Callan dying four days after the others. The children’s mother, a former nurse, faced charges of first-degree murder but pleaded not guilty due to claims of postpartum psychosis. The trial ended in a mistrial after the jury could not reach a verdict.

Patrick Clancy faced intense online scrutiny, including conspiracy theories about his role in the tragedy. His marriage to Danis in April added to the attention surrounding him, leading to criticism of Danis as well.
