In 2021, however, she faced a personal tragedy when her husband of 37 years, businessman Robert Altman, passed away due to complications from a medical procedure. She has been open about her grief, admitting that she cries “three times a day’”as she attempts to process her loss.

“I feel that I need to pick myself up and dust myself off, and put one foot in front of the other and be as courageous as I can be, even when I don’t feel like it, to get past grief,” she has previously shared.

Meanwhile, her daughter, Jessica Carter Altman, has been making waves in the music industry, releasing new music that’s been described as a blend of contemporary and folk pop. Many of her songs touch upon the tragic loss of her father, Robert A Altman, who passed away unexpectedly in 2021.

“She has this part of her that is very complex, but her main drive is that she is not going to stand for bullying or people taking advantage of others.”
