A Love Story

In 2007, Schonenberger met Mick Mars during a performance in Switzerland, and they started dating soon after. According to an interview with Blick, she described it as love at first sight and expressed her desire to marry him, which they did on December 13th, 2013. Despite their significant age difference, they continue to live together in Nashville, Tennessee.

She is Mars’s Third Wife

Schonenberger is Mick Mars’ third wife. His previous marriages were to Sharon Deal, with whom he had two children, and Emi Canyn, who passed away in 2017 at the age of 62. The circumstances of her death are still under investigation.

Stepmother to Three Children

Although Schonenberger does not have children with Mick Mars, she is a stepmother to his three children from previous relationships: Les Paul Deal, Erik Deal, and Stormy.

In October 2022, Mick Mars announced his retirement from touring due to health concerns, and the band subsequently replaced him with John 5. This led to a legal battle, with Mars filing a lawsuit against Motley Crue, claiming that the band unjustly removed him from the group that he co-founded 41 years ago.

Mars cited his pivotal role in the band’s formation and accused his former bandmates of trying to diminish his contributions. He also addressed his health issues, particularly his struggle with Ankylosing Spondylitis, an inflammatory type of arthritis, as a reason for his retirement from touring.

Net Worth

While Schonenberger’s net worth is unknown, Mick Mars has amassed a significant fortune, with an estimated net worth of $50 million from his successful music career.
