Patrick Clancy, former husband of Lindsay, has confirmed that he’s looking at starting a family with his new wife and hopes to tell their future children about their half-siblings.
The 36-year-old has since remarried and plans to begin a family with his new wife, Dr Rachel Danis, with them both appearing on 60 Minutes to discuss the grief and toll the loss of his children and the trial of his ex-wife took on him.
Patrick’s former wife Lindsay Clancy was on trial for the murder of their three children Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan at their family home in Massachusetts.
Lindsay’s defence did not deny that she killed their children, instead arguing that the jury should find her not guilty by reason of insanity, but they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict and a mistrial was declared.
Speaking to 60 Minutes, Danis confirmed when asked that the new couple who were married earlier this year would be starting a family together.

“I think every parent can agree, you have different relationships with your kids, but they’re all your kids. And I can’t wait to tell them about their brothers and sister,” Patrick said in the interview as he explained he was hoping to share his memories of the children he had with those he looks forward to having.
After his children had been killed in January 2023, Patrick decided to move away from Massachusetts as he drove by the school his kids used to go to ‘at the exact time that all of their friends were getting dropped off’, and in that moment he ‘couldn’t be there anymore’.
He instead moved to Manhattan, and told 60 Minutes how he met Danis in January 2024 at a run club, saying his life had changed a lot since he met her.
They were married in April of this year.
They’ve since had to endure claims and conspiracy theories from the online attention that the Lindsay Clancy trial received.

Patrick Clancy described the day he found his children dead, saying he came home to find Lindsay in the garden after she’d jumped from a second-floor window and found the bodies of his children in their basement.
Callan was still alive and Patrick said he ‘really thought there was a chance that Callan would live’, with the baby’s heart still beating for four days afterwards.
He said: “I remember just thinking, ‘Just give me one. Just give me one kid, and I would raise him as best I could, and I would give him the best life I possibly could. I’d tell him about his brother and sister.’ And I was holding out hope for that.”
“I got to hold him. I got to lay down next to him. And he died in my arms.”
He went on to say there had been ‘a time where I didn’t think I would live to see my 35th birthday’, and that during the second day of testimony during the trial he’d had a ‘massive traumatic’ panic attack and was taken to an ambulance.
