Who is Joe Walsh’s Wife, Marjorie Bach? Inside Their Beatles-Linked Love Story

Joe Walsh, the legendary guitarist for The Eagles, has taken on a new role as a mega mentor on season 28 of NBC’s “The Voice.” While fans are excited to see him share his musical wisdom with contestants, many are also curious about his personal life — especially his wife, Marjorie Bach, who has her own fascinating story.

Who is Marjorie Bach?

Marjorie Bach is a philanthropist and businesswoman, widely known as the wife of The Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh and the younger sister of actress Barbara Bach, who is married to The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013, Marjorie became deeply involved with the Simms Mann UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology, where she later joined the advisory board. She and Joe are also passionate advocates for addiction recovery, supporting programs that help people struggling with alcohol and drug abuse.

Outside her charitable work, Marjorie is known for her love of animals and enjoys spending time with her horses.

How Did Joe Walsh and Marjorie Bach Meet?

Joe and Marjorie’s first meeting dates back to the 1970s, when they crossed paths at Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach’s house. Joe and Ringo were close friends at the time, collaborating on Ringo’s Old Wave album. Joe recalls instantly falling for Marjorie when she briefly stopped by, saying: “I was at [Ringo and Barbara’s] house, and Barbara’s little sister stopped by for three minutes, and I was in love with Barbara’s sister from then on.”

Although sparks flew, their romantic story didn’t begin until years later when they reconnected at Ringo and Barbara’s Los Angeles home. Joe fondly remembers their reunion, saying they hugged and both felt something special in that moment.

He joked in an interview with PEOPLE that he initially hesitated to pursue her, wondering, “Would Ringo and Barbara kill me?”

Their Marriage and Family Life

After dating for several years, Joe Walsh and Marjorie Bach married on December 13, 2008. Their union humorously linked two of rock’s greatest bands — The Eagles and The Beatles.

The couple do not have children together but each has kids from previous relationships. Joe Walsh has two daughters, including Lucy Walsh, an actress and pianist, and Alden Walsh. His eldest daughter, Emma Kristen Walsh, sadly passed away at age three in a car accident.

Marjorie Bach has a son named Christian Quilici from her previous marriage to Philippe Quilici.

A Love That Endured

Joe often credits Marjorie with helping him find peace and balance after years of personal struggles. Their relationship has become a symbol of love, healing, and shared purpose — connecting not just two hearts, but two iconic rock ‘n’ roll families.
