John McEnroe's ex-wife Tatum O'Neal impressed by their daughter Emily's rendition of Bob Dylan's hit song in Irish pub

John McEnroe's ex-wife and actress, Tatum O'Neal, recently lauded their daughter, Emily McEnroe, for her performance of Bob Dylan's hit song in an Irish pub. McEnroe and O'Neal got married on August 1, 1986, and separated in 1992.

In their eight-year marriage, the couple had three children together. However, they got divorced in 1994, accusing each other of drug use. During the early phase of their separation, they had joint custody of their kids; however, it was later taken away from O'Neal because of her drug addiction.

Even though O'Neal doesn't have custody of her kids, she is still in touch with them and is currently in recovery, attends therapy, and 12-step meetings. Recently, she dropped a sweet reaction to her daughter Emily's latest rendition of Bob Dylan's 'Make You Feel My Love' in an Irish pub. The Oscar-winning actress shared a video of her singing the song on her Instagram handle and penned a caption that read:

"Pub takeover singing Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love,” in Clonakilty, Ireland aka the homeland 🇮🇪 ❤️"

Stunned by her performance, O'Neal expressed her love with emoticons in the comment section. It read:

"🔥🔥🔥"

When John McEnroe's ex-wife, Tatum O'Neal, opened up about their dynamic after their divorce

John McEnroe's ex-wife, Tatum O'Neal, sat for a conversation with Oprah Winfrey in 2004. Here, she revealed that after their divorce, they only communicated through their children and were involved in a 'psychic drama' for 10 years.

"We're divorced 10 years and it's still a long story because we're still deep into a psychic drama, he and I. It's a very difficult communication, through our kids, you know, and God bless how well they've turned out," O'Neal said.

However, things evolved with time, as in an interview with CBS News in 2020, O'Neal said that seeing the former tennis player happy with his wife, Patty Smyth, made her happy as well.

"Perhaps not. I was loved, I was cared for. That's it, that's what one wants, isn't it, in a marriage? I've never met anyone who even comes close to my ex-husband. He's happier, and I'm happy for him. And that makes me happy," John McEnroe's ex-wife said.

John McEnroe revealed that the anger between them was "gone" during their reunion at their son Kevin's wedding. O'Neal also delivered a speech at her son's wedding.
