In 2009, the famous Scottish host of The Late Late Show, Craig Ferguson, surprised his fans with his sudden wedding announcement to his then-girlfriend, Megan Wallace Cunningham.
Flaunting a picture of their wedding, the comedian-host joked about how he “married a woman” in Vermont, where “they have legalized gay civil union.”
As a long-time follower of his show, Ferguson’s revelation surprised me, as I’d bet to many of the comedian’s fans.
So, if you found yourself in the same situation as the proverbial curious cat about Craig Ferguson’s wife, you’re exactly where you should be.
Who is Megan Wallace Cunningham? Here’s your answer.
Who Is Megan Wallace Cunningham?
Megan Wallace Cunningham is an American art dealer who took the public’s interest after marrying the talk show host and comedian Craig Ferguson.
I found that, unlike her husband, Cunningham mostly lived outside the limelight.
Early Life
Cunningham was born in 1975 in Chester, Vermont, USA. Her father and mother, whose names are currently unknown, are a businessman and a housewife.
Her family is reportedly wealthy, owning a massive farm in Chester. Some sources also report her lineage related to John Adams, one of America’s founding fathers.
The blonde beauty was the only child in the family. Even as a kid, she’s shown great fascination in art and culture, an interest she’d later pursue as a career.
She graduated from a local high school in Vermont. She then attended university and graduated in 1997 with a degree specializing in the arts.
Career History

Cunningham became an art dealer shortly after graduating, buying, selling, and exchanging works of art for profit. She worked with artists, collectors, art galleries, and institutions.
Before meeting Ferguson, Cunningham is already an established art dealer. She also likes doing yoga, charity work, and traveling.
She’s also credited for her consulting producer role on her husband’s standup special in 2011, Craig Ferguson: Does This Need to Be Said? and writing Craig Ferguson: Just Being Honest (2015) and Craig Ferguson: I’m Here to Help (2013).
Experts estimate Megan Wallace Cunningham’s net worth to be between $1 million and $3 million in 2024.
Marriage to Craig Ferguson
According to Famous Birthdays, Ferguson and Cunningham met through a mutual friend in 2006.
The circumstances surrounding their first meeting are unclear, but they likely immediately started dating, given that they exchanged vows three years later.
As Ferguson revealed in his CBS Late Late Show, they tied the knot in Cunningham’s hometown, surrounded by their friends and families.
“It’s not a bling,” Ferguson said while showing off his wedding ring to the audience. He also jokingly suggested getting a couple’s nickname, “Cragan,” like some call Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt “Brangelina.”
The couple welcomed their first son, Liam James, in 2011, two years after their union.
In 2017, the couple started a YouTube show, Couples Thinkers. In the show, Ferguson and Cunningman ask the world’s leading experts to answer the “big questions.”
They invited famous science personalities, such as Niel deGrasse Tyson, to answer questions like, “When do we need to leave the planet?” or “Can we stop aging?” It was a reasonably enjoyable show to watch.
Craig Ferguson’s Past Relationships
Before meeting Cunningham, Craig had been married twice. His first marriage was on October 20, 1983, to Anne Hogarth. Although the couple divorced in 1986, they remained on good terms.
In 1998, he married Sascha Corwin, and in 2001, they welcomed their son, Milo Hamish Ferguson. Unfortunately, his second marriage didn’t last either, and they divorced in 2004.
Final Thoughts
Despite marrying one of American television’s biggest celebrities, Cunningham kept her distance from the public’s eyes.
Nevertheless, it’s clear to me that she dearly loved Craig Ferguson.
Her support and devotion to her husband have incredibly touched many fans, revealed in the rare moments when the couple was seen together in public.
