Their Relationship Started Off as an Affair
Richie was still married to his college sweetheart, Brenda Harvey, when he got into a relationship with Diane Alexander in 1986. Although Richie and Harvey were separated, they weren’t divorced.
Richie and Alexander met each other at the 1984 Olympics where Richie performed “All Night Long” at the closing ceremonies.
In 1988, things became quite ugly when Harvey discovered Richie and Alexander together in a Beverly Hills hotel room by saying that she was from “room service.”
After discovering them together, Harvey went ballistic and attacked her husband, Richie. She was later arrested for spousal abuse, trespassing, and vandalism. However, the charges against her were later dropped.
In 1993, after 17 years of marriage, Richie and Harvey’s marriage came to an end and resulted in a bitter public divorce.

Talking about his failed marriage, Richie said, “See, when Diane and I got together I was not working. And she, and I, liked the person I was then, thank you! But one day I discovered I’m going back to work. And that’s not good! Because I just couldn’t, I just couldn’t.”
