Ross Douthat's interview with Patrick Clancy and his wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, airs Sunday on 60 Minutes.
This Sunday on 60 Minutes, hear from Patrick Clancy's wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, for the first time since her private life exploded into public view.
"I don't understand how the story's been so twisted," Danis said, "but I would hope people know that Pat is, as I said before, the most selfless father and supportive partner."
The couple married earlier this year after meeting in New York City.
"I was just a girl that met a guy running in Central Park on a really cold Saturday. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that," Danis said.
Patrick Clancy's marriage to Danis became a subject of fascination on social media as Lindsay Clancy stood trial for the 2023 killings of her children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan.
Ross Douthat sat down with Patrick Clancy and Danis after Lindsay Clancy's case ended in a mistrial. Prosecutors in the case have yet to announce if they will seek a retrial.
Patrick Clancy talked about grief, mental health, and conspiracy theories that flooded social media since the trial.
And he reflected on his memories of his children, telling Douthat he still talks to his kids "all the time."
"I like to believe they do. It's a way I stay connected to them," Clancy replied.
