Dallas Yocum is the woman most people know only as Mike Lindell’s second wife. She married the MyPillow founder on June 8, 2013, in an elaborate wedding, and the relationship fell apart quickly. That short marriage made her name a common search, yet she has never given a public interview, and very little about her life is confirmed. Many websites fill the gaps with birth dates, degrees, and money figures that come with no source. This life story sticks to what news reports and court records support, and it says plainly where the facts run out.

Who Is Dallas Yocum?
Dallas Yocum is a private American woman who worked in casino operations in Nevada and later at MyPillow in Minnesota. She became publicly known in 2013 because of her marriage to Lindell, who was already familiar from his pillow commercials. Nearly all detailed accounts of the marriage come from Lindell himself or from documents in the legal fight that followed. As far as public records show, Yocum has never told her story to the media. That is why this profile leans on a 2013 Star Tribune column and on a later news report about court records.
Dallas Yocum’s Early Life and Age: What Is Actually Known
The little we can say about her roots points to Arizona. When a Star Tribune columnist tried to reach her for comment in 2013, he left a message with her mother in Arizona, and Lindell said he flew to Nevada and drove on to Arizona while looking for her. That supports family ties to the state, but it doesn’t prove she grew up there. One popular site even claims she comes from Minnesota, which shows how loose this topic is online.
Then there’s the age question. Many sites list her birth as December 1980 and add a business degree, a New York education, or a father in the Navy. I couldn’t trace any of those details to a public record, an interview, or a news report. There’s also a small reason for caution. Lindell told the Star Tribune that two of Yocum’s children worked at MyPillow, and court papers describe her granddaughter as two years old in 2013. None of that proves the 1980 date wrong. It does mean her age and schooling should be treated as unconfirmed.
Dallas Yocum’s Career: From a Nevada Casino to MyPillow
According to the Minnesota Reformer’s reading of her own affidavit, Yocum worked at the Riverside Casino in Laughlin, where she got to know Lindell during his gambling trips. In summer 2011, he offered her an executive assistant job at MyPillow. She wrote that he told her God had spoken to him in dreams and said she should work there. After she moved to Minnesota, she said he had her stay at his sister’s house, where he lived, and that on work trips he insisted they share a bed even though they weren’t dating. Lindell’s own affidavit answered that the company couldn’t afford a second hotel room.
By 2013, Lindell had made her director of MyPillow’s customer service center, and he said she was in line to become vice president of compliance. He also told the Star Tribune that she had stayed away from work for months while still being paid. That is Lindell’s version only, and no reply from Yocum is on record. So her known career is a run of administrative and customer service roles, from casino operations to a director-level job.
The 2013 Marriage: A Timeline
The story moved fast, so a timeline is the clearest way to follow it. Some dates come from reporting on court filings and others come from Lindell’s own words, so treat them as reported, not official. One detail doesn’t line up. Lindell quoted her as saying he had ruined two years of her life, but the Reformer’s reading of the court papers puts the start of the romance in 2012. The exact start date of the relationship is unclear.
- Summer 2011: Lindell offers her the MyPillow job.
- 2012 to early 2013: Lindell breaks off an engagement with another woman, starts dating Yocum, and they are engaged within weeks.
- June 8, 2013: The wedding takes place at the Oak Ridge Hotel and Conference Center in Chaska, with about 300 guests.
- Two days later: According to Lindell’s affidavit, Yocum says her granddaughter will live with them, and they fight about it.
- Early July 2013: Lindell says she told him during a drive that she didn’t love him.
- July 13 and mid-July 2013: Lindell flies to Nevada, drives to Arizona, and files legal papers to end the marriage.
- August 13, 2013: The Star Tribune publishes its column on the split.
Was it a divorce or an annulment? The Star Tribune calls it a divorce filing, while the Minnesota Reformer says Lindell sought an annulment. I found no detailed public account of the final legal outcome. The “two-week marriage” line is also a rough summary. Lindell said she left on the second day, came back, and left again a couple of weeks later. He also confirmed to the Star Tribune that they had a prenuptial agreement.
Her Side of the Story: The Court Affidavit
Most online profiles repeat only Lindell’s version, and that leaves out something important. The Minnesota Reformer reported in 2021 that Yocum answered the 2013 case with a sworn affidavit. In it, she claimed Lindell almost hit her granddaughter during the argument and chased them out of the lakefront house. She also claimed that after they separated he tried to run her over with his truck. And she wrote that she woke up at her brother’s home to find him standing over her.
Lindell denied all of it. His sworn reply said her claims held many exaggerations and outright fabrications, and he described her as someone trying to get gifts and cash from him. The Reformer noted that he has never been prosecuted for or convicted of spousal abuse. These are allegations from one side and denials from the other, and this article doesn’t try to decide who is right.
Facts vs Rumors About Dallas Yocum
Because so many sites copy each other, it helps to sort the common claims by how well they hold up. Here’s where the most repeated ones stand.
- “The marriage lasted two weeks.” Partly true. The relationship broke down within weeks, but the legal filing came in mid-July.
- “She took the ring and jewelry.” This is Lindell’s claim to the Star Tribune, and no response from her is on record.
- “She has a business degree and was born in December 1980.” Unverified. I found no source.
- “She grew up in Arizona.” Possible, since her mother lived there in 2013, but not confirmed.
Dallas Yocum’s Net Worth and Life Today
Some blogs estimate her net worth anywhere from $450,000 to $1 million as of 2026. None of them explain where the number comes from, so it should be treated as a guess. There is no confirmed information about her income, savings, or any settlement.
As for life today, I searched for 2026 news and found nothing verified about her. She has no known public social media, and sites that say where she lives now are speculating. Lindell’s later fame in politics keeps her name in search results, but her own public story hasn’t changed since 2013. It’s fair to respect that she has chosen to stay private.

How This Was Researched
I started by reading a dozen or so recent biography pages on Dallas Yocum, and most repeated the same unsourced details, like a December 1980 birth date, a business degree, and a net worth figure. So I went back to stronger sources: the 2013 Star Tribune column and the Minnesota Reformer’s 2021 report on court records. I also checked Lindell’s Wikipedia entry for basic dates and searched for 2026 news about her, which turned up nothing verified. Where sources disagreed or gave no proof, I say so instead of guessing. The gap I tried to fill is separating fact from rumor and including her sworn side of the story, which most pages skip.
