Yes they are married. He was, for a while, married to Isabelle Dushenay
(excuse the spelling!!), who is a Canadian dancer who skated for France.

.........................
Christopher Dean WAS married to Duscheney (sp), the Canadian ice dancer.
He was also married before that and had a few children, I believe.
Jill is his third wife.

Yes, Chris and Jill got married in October, 1994.
Chris was formerly married to Isabelle Duchesnay, who is an ice dancer
with her brother Paul.

I beg to differ. No kids, two marriages.

Hi Kristin,
Chris and Jill are now married. However, Chris was married briefly to
Isabelle Duchesnay, a Canadian lass who, with her brother Paul,
represented France as ice dancers. They won gold at the 1991 World
Championships in Munich and silver at the 1992 Winter Olympics in
Albertville.
Hope that clears things up.

Hey There,
Yes, Jill and Christopher are married (for a year or so I think). But he
was also married to Isabelle Duchseney(sp?) the French (but originally
from Canada) ice dancer. They were divorced quite awhile ago.

Just to clear this up--Jill is Dean's SECOND wife. He was choreographing
for Isabelle Duchesnay and her brother Paul from the late 80s up through
the 92 Olympics, and he married Isabelle in 90 or 91 but they broke up by
mid or late 92. At about the same time Isabelle served the divorce
papers, Chris and Jill fell in love; they were married after the 94
Olympics (although he had previously proposed, apparently he did so again
after the Lillehammer free dance). Jill was actively involved in the Face
the Music tour that followed Lillehammer, and the two of them seem to
have mapped out the kind of co-ordinated skating careers that he might
have hoped for with Isabelle. This is all recounted by him (with input
from Jayne Torvill) in their recent autobiography.
Neither Jill nor Isabelle has had any children, so if Chris has fathered
any he's been quite discreet about it! <G>

I seem to remember distinctly that in 1984 when Chris Dean and Jane
Torvill won Olympics it was stated in a profile on him that was shown on
TV that he was married. I think they said he had two children, but I
couldn't swear to it. But I do remember that he was married. Jane was not
married at the time, but did marry later. And I recall when he got
engaged to Duschenay I thought he must have gotten divorced somewhere
along the line.
Anyone know for sure about this? I still believe Jill is Chris' third
wife.

I just did a quick review of T & D's first book - Torvill & Dean written
by John Hennessy which was published in Britain in 1984 just after the
Olympics. There is no mention of Chris being married during this
period. Indeed, the book mentions quite frequently how interdependant
that Jayne & Chris were with each other. Jayne also states "...but for
the moment he has time only for his skating. He is very single minded
about that.....When, occasionally, a girl has of making a play for him,
he soon lets her get the message. He is not interested, not just now."
Also, in light of other comments regarding Chris's treatment of Jayne,
he wrote an absolutely lovely tribute to her. In one part he says "I
suppose she looks small and vulnerable. I often treat her like that,
throwing a screen around her when she needs protection. To hurt her is
to hurt me." Jayne also says "Quarrels are inevitable when you are
doing something creative...Sometimes he hurts me with his gibes, nearly
always on ice under the pressure of inventing something new.
..We both realize that a certain amount of discord is inevitable,
otherwise we would have to be paragons of virtue." This was in 1984,
it does appear that when Jayne defended Chris in their most recent book
that she was stating a long held position.
Anyway, must go now and mourn the Bruins most recent loss.

Thanks, Pat. If no mention in 1984 book, then maybe my memory is faulty.

It has been well documented in print that Jayne was married first, in
1990 to Phil Christensen. Chris Dean became engaged to Isabelle
Duchesnay soon after this and they married in May of 1991. They divorced
in late 1993, they had no children. Chris and Jill Trenary married in
October of 1994.

Jill Trenary is his second wife -
Christopher has no children - at all =
and that's Jayne. Not Jane.

Jill and Chris are married and have been for something like a year or so.
Previously, Chris was married to Isabelle Duchesnay (sp?) the French ice
dance team with brother Paul. Must be an interesting situation since all
three are on the Discovery tour together.
As for a Canadian pairs skater, Isabelle Brasseur (partner: Lloyd Eisler)
married USA's pairs skater Rocky Marvel (partner: Calla Urbanski) this
past summer.

I just saw Discover Stars on Ice when it appeared here in Denver, and
Torvill & Dean as well as Jill Trenary were in the cast. However, no sign
of Isabelle Duchesney (?). . . I think you were mistaken about that.

Regarding Trenary/Dean touring with Duchesnays (AOL will not let me cut
and paste, much less "quote":
Christopher Dean and Jill Trenary tour with Discover Stars on Ice.
The Duchesnays toured with Campbell's Tour of Champions (before Paul's
rollerblading injuries, any word if they will be back this year?)
The tours are not the same, the foursome don't travel together, so it
isn't an "interesting situation".

Jayne (Chris's partner) introduced Jill to Chris. Jayne and Jill were
rooming together and had become good friends. Chris was married to
Isabelle at that time but the marriage was nearing its end. The official
separation announcement came on June 10th, 1993 (Isabelle made the
announcement from Paris, France. She and Paul toured the first half but
withdrew from the second half of the tour). BBC interviewed Chris and
Jayne here in Phoenix, when Isabelle made the announcement. That was the
evening that Campbell Soup tour performed in Phoenix. During this tour,
Jill and Chris became friends and it turned romantic at the end of the
tour. Chris was officially separated at this point and the divorce came
through in December 1993. Hope this helps.
