High School Sweethearts
Dr. Phil’s wife Robin is almost as famous as he is. He constantly talks about how much he loves her and how amazing she is. They are a beautiful couple, but, as it turns out, she isn’t his first wife. In high school, he dated (and eventually married) Debbie Higgins. Dr. Phil even stated how natural it was: “I was the big football player, and she was the cheerleader. It was just the thing to do.”

Unfortunately, the high school sweethearts didn’t have a fairy tale ending. The couple broke up in 1973, three years into their marriage, and Dr. Phil said it just didn’t work out. However, his ex didn’t have the best things to say about the TV doctor. She called him domineering and said he has unrealistic expectations of marriage.
