Martha Hagee (née Downing) is the first wife of John Hagee, a prominent American televangelist and founder of Christians United for Israel. The couple married in the late 1950s during John Hagee's early ministry career and had three children together: Christina, Matthew, and Sandra. During their marriage, the family was based in Texas where John Hagee served as a pastor at several churches, including Trinity Church in San Antonio. Martha supported her husband's religious work while maintaining a low public profile. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1975 amid reports of personal challenges, including John Hagee's admission of an extramarital affair. Following the divorce, Martha Hagee has largely stayed out of the public eye with no significant documented involvement in religious, political, or professional activities, reflecting her preference for privacy.
