Elaine Callei was married three times and divorced twice.By the way, once she had a temporary fictitious name of Teddy Howard while working as a Playboy bunny in the 60s.
Adoptive daughter
While being married with Elaine Callei, the couple had no mutual children. Nevertheless, Alex Trebek adopted a daughter named Nicky.
Nicky was only a 6-year-old girl when Elaine and Alex got married, so from the early childhood she considered Trebek to be her daddy.
Alex raised her and gave her his name, considering Nicky to be his real daughter. He proved to be a responsible and devoted person, who didn’t forget about the adoptive daughter even after getting a divorce with her mother. How inspiring!
