The new four-episode Paramount+ documentary series, ‘Willie Nelson & Family’, reveals some of the less discussed aspects of the famous country singer’s life. Willie Nelson recalls remarkable moments, both wholesome and tumultuous, that have defined his life over the course of nine decades. One such moment was when his second wife, Shirley Collie, discovered his years-long affair with Connie Koepke, who later became his third spouse. Shirley learned about Nelson’s infidelity in a rather surprising way, contributing to the sometimes scandalous narrative of his storied life. The documentary further explores Nelson’s personal struggles, detailing the period when he was “drinking more than ever” amid his marital issues with his first wife, Martha Jewel Matthews, and financial troubles. As highlighted in the series, every song penned by Nelson is a reflection of an experience he has lived, adding authenticity to his art. ‘Willie Nelson & Family’ is currently available for streaming on Paramount+.
