Let’s talk about Lindsey Buckingham, the legendary Fleetwood Mac guitarist. It’s official—his 21-year marriage to Kristen Messner has come to an end. According to Closer Weekly, Kristen filed for divorce on June 2, signaling the dissolution of their long-standing union. As we dive into this story, we’ll explore how Lindsey’s life, career, and personal journey have shaped the man he is today, and what might come next for him.
A Decade-Long Partnership Comes to an End
Kristen Messner, Lindsey’s wife, has taken the difficult step of filing for divorce after more than two decades of marriage. This decision marks the end of a chapter that began in 2000 when the couple tied the knot. For now, it’s unclear whether Lindsey, the mastermind behind hits like “Dreams,” and Kristen have discussed the terms of their separation. While the details remain private, one thing is certain: this is the first time Lindsey has faced divorce proceedings, as Kristen was his only spouse.
Family Ties: Their Children and the Future
Lindsey and Kristen share three children: William Gregory Buckingham, 22; Leelee Buckingham, 21; and Stella Buckingham, 17. With the majority of their children now adults, the potential for custody disputes seems minimal. However, this doesn’t make the split any less emotional for the family. The couple’s youngest, Stella, is still a minor, so her well-being will undoubtedly remain a priority as they navigate this transition.

From Touring Guitarist to Family Man
For much of his early career, Lindsey was a rock-and-roll nomad, traveling the world with Fleetwood Mac and focusing on his music. In those days, marriage and family weren’t on his radar. But everything changed when he met Kristen in the '90s during a photo shoot for one of his solo album covers. Speaking with the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2011, Lindsey opened up about finding love later in life and how it transformed him.
“Back in the day, I had my fair share of wild relationships,” Lindsey reflected. “It was all part of the lifestyle we were living back then. But when I crossed paths with Kristen, everything shifted. I was lucky enough to meet someone who understood me and fit perfectly into my life.”
