Dallas Yocum is the woman who married MyPillow founder Mike Lindell in 2013. The marriage collapsed within weeks. Wikipedia’s infobox lists her as Lindell’s second spouse, with both the marriage and the divorce dated 2013.
That is close to everything the reliable public record confirms.
Almost every other detail floating around online comes with a catch. Birthdates, college degrees, net worth figures and “where is she now” claims appear on dozens of websites. Almost none of them name a primary source.
This article separates the two. You’ll get what is documented, what comes only from Lindell’s own account, and what looks like internet filler.
You’ll also see why the story keeps resurfacing and how to check claims like these yourself.
What We Can Actually Confirm
The anchor source is a 2013 column in the Star Tribune. Lindell told the columnist he had filed for divorce from his June bride and that his autobiography now needed a new ending.
The same piece reports that Lindell filed in mid-July. He said Yocum responded as required by law, and that more court documents were coming.
That timeline matters. A divorce filing means a legal process, not just gossip. It also means the basic sequence is public: a June wedding, a mid-July filing, and a fast collapse.
Lindell’s own telling is the main source for the dramatic part. He said that during a drive, Yocum told him she never loved him and found him boring.
Notice who is speaking. This is Lindell’s recollection, published in his own words.
The Part Everyone Repeats (And Why It Needs a Warning Label)
The “you’re boring” line became the hook for the whole story. It’s easy to see why. It is short, brutal and memorable.
But a quote is not a verdict. One side of a two-person marriage has told this story publicly. Reporting on the case notes that no known interviews, court statements or media comments from Yocum respond to those claims.
Think about what that means. Millions of searches have treated one person’s account as the full record.
Good readers hold two thoughts at once. The account may be accurate, and it is still incomplete. Anyone who tells you exactly why the marriage failed is guessing.
A Timeline of the Marriage
Here is the sequence as it appears across the more careful sources.
| Date | Event | Evidence level |
|---|---|---|
| Before 2013 | Lindell and Yocum were in a relationship | Reported by Lindell to the press |
| June 2013 | The couple married | Confirmed (Wikipedia lists 2013) |
| Early July 2013 | Lindell says the breakdown conversation happened | Lindell’s account only |
| Mid-July 2013 | Lindell files for divorce | Star Tribune, citing Lindell |
| August 2013 | Lindell discusses the split with the Star Tribune | Published column |
Some sites give an exact wedding date and a Minnesota venue. Those details repeat widely, yet they trace mostly to low-authority blogs. Treat them as reported, not proven, unless you can find a county record or a major outlet that states them.
The Prenup Question
Many articles say a prenuptial agreement made the divorce quick and kept Yocum from receiving a payout.
There is some support for part of this. One biography says the divorce filing revealed a prenuptial agreement that likely limited financial entanglements. Note the cautious wording there: “likely.”
Other sites state flatly that she received nothing. The reality is that the final terms of any settlement have not been publicly documented in sources I could verify. That is a gap, not a secret revealed.
A prenup is a legal contract signed before marriage. It sets out how money and property are handled if the marriage ends. In many places it can speed up a divorce, but it doesn’t automatically decide every issue. Courts can still review whether the contract was valid.
If you’re researching your own situation, talk to a family-law attorney in your state. This article is background, not legal advice.
The MyPillow Connection
Here the stories diverge, and that divergence is itself informative.
Several blogs say Yocum worked at MyPillow as an executive assistant, then as a customer service director. Others call her a “former executive.” One source frames the job claim as coming from Lindell himself.
That framing is the safest reading. The workplace detail appears to come from Lindell’s side.
There is a related claim with better sourcing. Nicki Swift, citing Star Tribune reporting, says four of Yocum’s relatives were reportedly working at MyPillow at the time. That reporting is secondhand and still labeled “reportedly,” so it’s worth reading carefully.
If you want to go deeper, search the Star Tribune archive directly rather than relying on summaries.
After the Divorce
Lindell described being hurt but not angry. He told the paper he gets stronger every day and felt sadness at how somebody could do something like that.
What happened next on his side is easier to document. The same Wikipedia entry lists his later marriage to Kendra in 2024.
For Yocum, the record goes quiet. One report says she left the state with her brother. Beyond that, there is little on the public record.
Several sites say she lives privately in Arizona, and others place her upbringing elsewhere. Because those claims conflict, I’m not repeating any of them as fact.
Fact-Check: What the Internet Gets Wrong
This is where most searchers lose time. Compare how well-sourced the claims are.
| Claim you’ll see online | Status | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| She married Lindell in 2013 | Supported | Listed on Wikipedia; Star Tribune coverage matches |
| Lindell filed in mid-July 2013 | Supported | Star Tribune column, quoting Lindell |
| She said “you’re boring” | One-sided | Lindell’s account; she hasn’t responded publicly |
| A prenup existed | Likely | Mentioned in one biography; terms unconfirmed |
| Net worth of $450K to $1M | Unverified | Appears on content farms, no source given |
| Specific birthdate or education | Conflicting | Sites list different dates and states |
| Physical or verbal abuse claims | Unverified | Appear on low-authority blogs; no primary source found |
| She is Lindell’s current wife | False | Some pages even say this; the record contradicts it |
That last row deserves a pause. At least one site claims Lindell is currently in a relationship with her. This is wrong. It shows how automated content can invert a story.
Why Search Results for This Name Are So Messy
When you search for the name, you’ll hit a strange mix. Some pages talk about a country singer from Kentucky. Others describe the city of Dallas as if “Yocum” were a travel guide.
None of that is real. These pages are generated from keyword patterns, with no research behind them. They invent careers, albums and Opry memberships out of thin air.
Why does it happen? A person with a small public footprint creates a “demand gap.” People search, and there’s little authoritative content. Low-quality publishers rush to fill it with guesses.
That’s also the opportunity for honest publishers. A page that clearly labels what is known and unknown can earn trust and links.
Respecting a Private Person
Dallas Yocum never sought public life. She became searchable because of a short marriage to a famous man.
That should change how we write about her. Details like age, health, address, or finances are personal, and repeating unverified numbers can cause real harm.
Good rule of thumb: if you can’t point to a primary source, don’t print it. Avoid speculation about her character, her motives or her whereabouts.
Lindell’s public statements are fair game because he chose to make them. Her silence is also a choice.
How to Verify Claims About Public-Adjacent People
You can use this method for any story like this.
1. Go to the original. Find the first article, court document or interview. The Star Tribune column is the original here, and it’s still online.
2. Check who is speaking. Is the quote from the person, from a spouse, or from a blogger?
3. Look for primary records. Court filings, county records and official biographies carry more weight than “wiki” sites.
4. Compare multiple sources. If five blogs repeat identical wording, they probably copied each other.
5. Beware precise numbers with no source. A net worth range with no methodology is decoration.
6. Note what’s missing. Silence in the record often means “unknown,” not “hidden.”

Why did they divorce?
Lindell has given his version, but the full reasons are not publicly documented. She has not responded publicly in any source I found.
What is her net worth?
No reliable source confirms a figure. Treat any number you see as an unsupported estimate.
Where is she now?

The Bottom Line
The story of Dallas Yocum is really two stories. One is a short marriage, a mid-July filing and a famous quote. The other is the internet’s habit of inventing details when facts run out.
The solid core is small. The rest is noise.
If you remember one thing, make it this: a repeated claim is not a verified claim. Check the source before you share it.
