Jerry Lee Lewis Wedding Again, Rock ‘n’ roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis has married for a seventh time in Mississippi, and the new bride is his cousin’s ex-wife.

The Adams County circuit clerk’s office said the marriage license shows Lewis was married March 9 to Judith Ann Coghlan Brown in Natchez, Miss. The 76-year-old Mr. Lewis, also known as “The Killer,” is famous for top hits like “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.”

The bride, who is in her early 60s, was previously married to one of Mr. Lewis’ cousins and was close to his daughter, Phoebe Lewis, said the bride’s sister, Carolyn Coghlan Gremillion of Madison. She said Ms. Brown started working for Mr. Lewis several years ago as his caretaker.

Ms. Gremillion said the wedding was small. The only guests were Ms. Gremillion and her husband, and Mr. Lewis’ sister and her husband.

“She’s real happy,” Ms. Gremillion told The Associated Press on Friday. “They have a really very loving relationship. I guess she’s probably really taken better care of him than anybody.”

Ms. Gremillion said Mr. Lewis had a wild reputation when he was younger, but: “He’s a very different man now. You know how people change as they grow older. He’s a very spiritual man.”

Calls to the Lewis home in Nesbit reached a voice mailbox that was full. Mr. Lewis’ daughter lives with him.

Judith Brown was previously married to Mr. Lewis’ cousin Rusty. They divorced in 2010.

Rusty’s older sister, Myra Gale Brown, married Mr. Lewis in 1957 when she was 13 and was his third wife. That marriage caused shockwaves for Mr. Lewis’ career.

Mr. Lewis’ last marriage ended in 2004 when he divorced Kerrie McCarver after 20 years together.

In 2010, he announced a book deal with It Books, an imprint of HarperCollins.
