Her mother, whose name is also unknown, was a housewife. Details of Dallas’ personal life, including her childhood, are kept private. However, it’s known that she attended school in New York, studied Business Management, and worked at the Riverdale Casino before meeting Mike.
How Did Dallas Yocum and Mike Lindell Meet?
Dallas Yocum met Mile Lindell in 2011 at the Riverdale Casino which, at the time, was her place of employment. They hit it off almost instantly and got together several months later. The couple kept their relationship out of the public eye until January 2013, during which Mike announced that he and Dallas were engaged. They tied the knot shortly after in June 2013. Their wedding was private but extravagant, with numerous individuals in attendance.
Dallas Yocum and Mike Lindell Separated Only A Month After Their Marriage
Divorcing after several months of marriage isn’t particularly uncommon, especially with wealthy business people. However, Dallas and Mike’s separation was particularly surprising because the couple got divorced two weeks after they got married, making it one of the shortest unions of all time.
The reason for the divorce was due to irreconcilable differences. During an interview with the Star Tribune, Mike admitted that the divorce was a result of Dallas’ behavior. When he inquired about her sudden change in attitude, Dallas bluntly confessed, “I don’t love you. I never loved you. You’re boring, and we don’t have anything in common. You ruined the last two years of my life.”

Following the divorce, rumors started appearing about Mike dating American actress Jane Krakowski while he and Dallas were together. But the American actress heavily denied the allegations, stating that she “would rather date Kermit the Frog” than Mike. Many claim that Dallas only married Mike due to monetary reasons, but that is far from the truth. In fact, the couple signed a prenuptial before their marriage, so their separation never led to a massive financial loss on the CEO’s part.
Dallas Yocum Claims Mike Nearly Killed Her
In a 2013 affidavit, Dallas Yocum accused Mike of nearly running her over and detailed a pattern of verbal and physical abuse throughout their relationship short relationship. Mike’s abusive behavior isn’t new. His first wife, Karen Dickey, also endured years of abuse, prompting her to seek a protective order. The couple was married for 20 years before their divorce in 2007.
Alongside the claims of abuse, Dallas mentions that two days after their marriage, Mike nearly hit Dallas’ granddaughter and chased them out of the lakefront house, forcing them to stay in a hotel for a week. Mike claims that everything Dallas wrote in her affidavit was fabricated and denied all allegations, but his abusive history raises questions about the credibility of his denial.
