Gabriel Swaggart's Paternal Grandad Jimmy Swaggart's Escort Controversy

Jimmy, the founder of the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries and television ministry Jimmy Swaggart Telecast and A Study in the Word, made headlines during the ‘80s and ‘90s, all for the wrong reasons, though.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

After aggressively calling his contemporaries out for infidelity against their wives in 1988, photos of him with a, say, lady of the night, Debroah Murphy, circulated.

What had happened was Jimmy and Murphy were caught by churchman Marvin Gorman (died in 2017 at 83) outside a motel in New Orleans.

Due to this unsavory revelation, he was discharged from the Assemblies of God.

He carried on as an independent preacher after that, but three years later, he was caught yet again with an escort in California by the police.

This perhaps was the final nail in the coffin for him as he soon handed the ministry over to his son, Donnie Swaggart, Gabriel's dad.

Gabriel Swaggart's Dad Donnie Swaggart's two Marriages 

Gabriel's dad, Donnie, followed his dad’s footsteps into the ministry. That being said, he kept a low profile and does so to this day.

Regardless of his low profile, news of his elaborate marriages has made numerous headlines. 

His first wife was Debbie Swaggart, with whom he gave birth to three children — Gabriel, Mathew, and Jennifer Swaggart. The marriage was broken off, and they divorced in 2003.

Later the same year, Swaggart tied the knot with his second wife Judy. This marriage, however, only lasted three years.

Towards the end of 2006, he reunited with Debbie, his first spouse, in matrimony.

However, there have been no reports of why he broke the marriage in the first place, went off elsewhere, and returned. 

The Current Status of The Swaggart Family

 As of today, both Jimmy and Donnie are in a happy relationship with their wives and children.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Donnie believes he is blessed to have a son like Gabriel and states that he and his spouse are proud of their son.

Pastor Gabriel, who is now the Ministry's successor, also reciprocates the same feelings toward his dad.

He continues to maintain a healthy relationship with his family. He admittedly loves to spend time with the three most important women in his life: his mother, his grandmother, and his spouse Jill Swaggart.

On their 17th wedding anniversary, Gabriel took to Facebook to celebrate the big day. He posted an adorable picture with his spouse and wrote, "17 years ago today, we said I do."

Further in the caption, he noted how his partner had been by his side through all the years.

Then he called her his "best friend, my backbone, and my rock." "Happy Anniversary, Jill. I love you," Gabriel penned, ending the heartfelt message.
