Unfortunately, the union did not last for a very long time before it finally came to an end only two years later in 1980. Although he was the first man she ever married, the musician had married two women before meeting and marrying Hensley. After their marriage ended, Farrell got married to Jean Inman in 1981 and the two remained together until his death in 1996.

Pamela Hensley gave marriage another shot two years after her first ended by walking down the aisle with E. Duke Vincent in 1982.

He is also an author whose works include Mafia Summer (2006), Black Widow (2007), and The Strip (2008).

Even though the age difference between the two is almost 20 years with E. Duke Vincent as the older, their marriage has survived more than three decades.

From both her marriages, Pamela Hensley is not known to have had any child. While the last marriage of her first husband gave him three children, her second husband is known to have had a child, Alexandra Allison Vincent from a previous relationship with a woman known as Sandra Loomis. Unfortunately, Vincent lost his daughter in 1987 when she was only 17 following a car crash caused by a drunk driver who was later sentenced for the maximum 8 years behind bars. At the time of the death of Allison, she was living with her mother and stepfather, Rod.
