Who Is Graeme McDowell's Wife?
Graeme McDowell has won golf tournaments all around the world.

"She had no idea what was going on and was shocked and stunned. I even found myself getting a little bit emotional."
They have two children together called Vale Esme and Wills Edson, and Stape has another child from a previous relationship.
Stape and McDowell met in 2010 when McDowell was redesigning his home in Lake Nona, Florida. The interior designer hired to do the work was Stape.
She used to have a website called kristinstapedesign.com but it has been inactive for a while now as has her Twitter bio where she defines herself as: "Fashionista for the home, eternal optimist, foodie, sports enthusiast, wannabe MacGyver, and most fun of all... a mother".
Stape is a Florida native but has often put her American allegiance aside for when the Ryder Cup takes place and when McDowell made the team as a player in 2012 and 2014.
