Crystal may not have spent a lot of time with her father who was a televangelist that traveled around the country preaching the gospel but she picked up one of her father’s talents, singing. She began singing as a child, most of which were gospel songs due to the status of the family as a Southern Baptist church home. She recorded her first songs as early as the age of eight.

Crystal Bernard’s Relationship History Over The Years
Perhaps her decision to pursue a career in Hollywood, home of liberal culture, may have been the signal that Crystal Bernard’s conservative upbringing did not take, but it most definitely showed in her personal life. Raised in a Christian home, anyone would have thought that Crystal Bernard believed in the sacredness of the marriage institution and would uphold it but the beautiful actress seems not to be interested in the institution at all. She has however been in a few relationships.
Over the years, she dated Grammy Award-winning producer Michael Shipley, although the pair were never vocal about their love life, their time together, how they met, and all of the other info, fans would have loved to be let on into. Their relationship ended in a few years and she was with Tony Thomas. Her relationship with Tony although lasted a little bit longer than others also went in the way o the previous.
It was later rumored that she had also dated Rush Limbaugh that was in the late 1990s and that the relationship had collapsed because they were both too busy pursuing their career that had less time to nurture it. In 2004, she was spotted with Billy Dean, and rumors had it that they had a thing going but that was also short-lived, she currently appears to be single at the moment, until she states otherwise
Her Current Relationship Status Remains A Mystery
Crystal Bernard was recently rumored to have secretly tied the knots with Peter Cetera. Bernard and the U.S songwriter and bassist performed a duet with far back in 1995; that over twenty-five years after. Considering the fact that Cetera has been married and divorced twice, there is actually a probability that the duo found love in each other’s arms after a long time this has not been confirmed as either party has confirmed nor refuted the rumor.
Thus, we can tentatively state that the actor-singer has never been married and doesn’t seem to be interested in one or possibly keeping it away from us all.
