News Network. Garvey recently broke his en- gagement with Mendenhall and began a whirlwind courtship of Candace Thomas, 30, whom he married in Deer Valley, Utah, in mid-February. Mendenhall contends she in- formed Garvey of her pregnancy Jan. 23, the same day he called her to break their three-week engage- ment. Garvey has said if either child proves to be his that he would ac- cept financial responsibility for their support. His new bride also has said that if either woman was unwilling to raise the children, she would take them. Also involved in the tangled af- fair is Judith Ross, a longtime girl- friend of Garvey's who has said she was seeing him while he was in- volved in the other relationships.
