Erin Everly

Erin Invicta Everly (born November 8, 1965) is an American former model. She is the daughter of Don Everly of the musical duo The Everly Brothers, and the ex-wife of Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose. She was the inspiration for the Guns N' Roses hit "Sweet Child o' Mine".
Personal life
Everly began dating Axl Rose in the mid 1980s. Rose wrote the lyrics of "Sweet Child o' Mine" about her, and she appeared in the video for the song. Rose and Everly were wed on April 28, 1990 in Las Vegas, albeit under duress: according to Everly, Rose showed up at her home, told her he had a gun in his car, and that he would kill himself if she did not marry him.
The couple separated after less than a month of marriage, but later reconciled for several months, during which time Everly became pregnant. She suffered a miscarriage in October 1990. This deeply affected Rose, who had wanted to have children of his own. The day after Everly's miscarriage, Rose was arrested after allegedly assaulting a neighbor with a wine bottle after the neighbor threatened to call the police because of Rose's loud music. Their marriage was annulled in January 1991.
Everly subsequently relocated from Los Angeles to Atlanta in the early 90s and married Atlanta businessman, Jack Portman. She has three children, son Easan (1996), daughters Eres (2000), and Esper (2009).
