Patrick Clancy married Dr. Rachel Danis in April at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, quietly beginning a new chapter even as Lindsay Clancy’s triple-murder trial moves ahead. The 38-year-old later lived with Danis in a Midtown Manhattan high-rise after leaving Duxbury, Mass. months after his three young children were found strangled to death in January 2023.
The remarriage is drawing attention now because Clancy is expected to take the stand Monday in Plymouth County, where he is listed as a witness for the defense. The timing puts his private life back beside the criminal case that has defined it, and it explains why searches for Patrick Clancy new wife are surging as the trial date arrives.
Danis, 37, works as a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at an NYC-based reproductive clinic and serves as an assistant clinical professor in the Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science Department at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine. Friends said she and Clancy celebrated with family and friends at Sarabeth’s after the ceremony, a detail that underscored how far he has moved from the house where the deaths occurred to a home in New York City with a new spouse.
But the marriage has not detached Clancy from the case. He has remained publicly supportive of Lindsay Clancy despite the killings and their divorce, and he told The New Yorker in October 2024 that he was not married to a monster but to someone who got sick. That stance sits uneasily beside the fact that he is now building a life with Danis while his ex-wife faces trial for murdering their children.
People close to the couple have described Danis as caring and steady, saying Clancy had been through an extraordinary trauma and that she was nurturing by nature, upbeat and full of energy. They also said she had a heart of gold and that helping him heal fit who she is. What remains unanswered is how the pair met and when their relationship began, but Monday will bring the next public turn: Clancy is expected to be the first witness to take the stand.
