Chris Lee Wife Photos: Meet Michele Lee!

Congressman Chris Lee may be sparking media interest following his resignation earlier today but the spike in interest regarding his wife, Michele lee, is on the rise right now.

Michele is the woman in the center of the shirtless photo scandal that led to Chris’ statement of resignation today. The New York Rep was forced to resign after Gawker posted this shirtless photo of him and a text that said “I’m a very fit fun classy guy…6FT 190LBS Blond/Blue” which he reportedly sent to a woman on Craigslist.

According to Chris Lee’s Facebook page, Michele is still listed as his wife, although many believe she may divorce him after learning the shocking news.

After searching long and hard to find a photo of Chris and Michele, I finally secured this photo (right). Michele is the woman on the right. (Left to right: Chris Lee, son of Patrick P. Lee; UB’s Althea Luehrsen, assistant vice president of corporate and foundation relations; Michele Lee, wife of Chris Lee; and Frederic Cook, Patrick P. Lee Foundation executive director.) I also found this photo (left) of Michele and their son, Jonathon.

The fact that there are next to no photos of Chris and his wife (and their son) together indicates there may have been trouble in their marriage for a while.

Why isn’t she with him in any of the event photos he’s in online? There’s not even one photo of her on his website (I understand it’s a business website but he could have a photo of his family on the biography page). There’s only one line at the bottom of a 773 word page that says “Chris and his wife, Michele, reside in Amherst, New York, and have one young son, Johnathan.”

Not exactly the fairytale story, if you ask me.

Still, he could have divorced her before he started searching for women on Craigslist. So pathetic.

We’ll update the post with more photos as they become available.
