McCain has been married twice. His first marriage, to Carol Shepp, ended in [[divorce]] in 1980 after 15 years, of which he spent five in captivity. Carol Shepp was a beauty queen and a champion swimmer before they got married. When McCain was in Vietnam, Carol had an automobile accident. Due, to the accident, she lost her height and gained some weight. As soon as McCain came back from Vietnam, he started having affairs with other women. This behaviour was responsible for the right between them.
