Who Is Dr Rachel Danis? Patrick Clancy's New Wife
Newsweek has broken down what we know about the fertility specialist, who married Patrick Clancy, earlier this year.
Dr. Rachel Danis, a 37-year-old reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, recently appeared on CBS News' 60 Minutes alongside her husband, Patrick Clancy. The couple, who met in January 2024 at a run club in New York, married in April of the same year. Clancy, who is an ex-husband of Lindsay Clancy, became a subject of public scrutiny after the tragic deaths of his three children, Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months, in 2023.
Clancy, who was found at home after carrying out an errand, discovered the bodies of Cora and Dawson, while Callan passed away four days later. The mother of the children, a former labor and delivery nurse, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder but pleaded not guilty, arguing postpartum psychosis had left her not criminally responsible.
The 12 jurors deliberated for seven days but failed to reach a unanimous verdict, leading to a mistrial. During the interview, Danis defended her husband, describing him as "the most selfless father and supportive partner." She also revealed that she has worked at a hospital in New York for the past four years and had previously worked at a women's fertility and health company.
Danis, who completed her qualifications at various universities and hospitals between 2006 and 2021, has significantly contributed to advancing fertility treatments, publishing multiple peer-reviewed articles in prestigious journals. Fluent in Spanish, she also has a background in competitive figure skating and enjoys Barry's Bootcamp classes, ballet classes, and baking. The couple plans to start a new family together.
