Patty's Love Connections

As with all the Halliwell women, Patty was unlucky in love. Her first and only marriage was to Victor Bennett, the father of Prue, Piper, and Phoebe. This marriage lasted for six or seven years, but the witchy livinghood of the family put a strain on their marriage. Victor and Patty soon divorced after a disagreement over how their children's powers should be handled, Victor wanted them bound so they could live happy, carefree childhoods, while Patty wanted them to be brought up as witches, as she was. After the divorce, Patty's relationship with her Whitelighter, Sam, grew deeper and their love created a child, Paige. This relationship was stricly forbidden by the Elders, and the child, a fourth Charmed One, was hidden, despite Patty's worry over this.
