Sandra Cash
Although Beck kept most of his personal life to himself, it is said he met Cash when he was 60 and she was 40. Not much is known about Cash besides the fact that she does not work in the entertainment industry, according to The US Sun. The couple tied the knot in 2005 and stayed together until Beck's death. They got married surrounded by famous friends such as Sir Paul McCartney. They are said to have lived together in Wadhurst, East Sussex. During a November 2022 interview, Beck's collaborator Johhny Depp said of the pair, "There’s a couple who very much helped to keep me alive and sane and happy through the weirdness… and that’s Jeff and Sandra." Beck had no children with Cash.
Patricia Brown
Beck was married to Patricia Brown before his marriage to Cash. The couple got married in 1963 but separated in 1967. Not much is known about their marriage as Brown was not a public figure. The couple got married when Beck was only 19 years old and his journey to fame and success had already started by the time they split, and he was 23. The pair did not have any children.
Beck's death was announced on his official Twitter account, with a picture of the Grammy-winning guitarist captioned, "On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck’s passing. After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss."
