Erik Menendez, Wife Tammi's Relationship Timeline: From Pen Pals to Marriage


Erik Menendez got married to wife Tammi Menendez while serving out a life sentence after he and brother Lyle Menendez killed their parents

After his arrest, Lyle met Anna Eriksson through mail correspondence and they exchanged vows in 1996 in a wedding attended by his attorney Leslie Abramson and his aunt Marta Menéndez. Lyle and Erik Menéndez are sharing their side of the story — about the crime, the aftermath and their current lives in prison — more than three decades after their high-profile murder case resulted in a life sentence. Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón recommended in October 2024 that Erik and Lyle’s sentences be reduced to 50 years, which could allow them to be released on parole if approved by a judge.
