Who is Karen Carpenter husband Thomas James Burris?

Her ex-husband Burris was working as a real estate developer when they met. They subsequently got married at a plush ceremony in 1980 at The Beverly Hills Hotel.

Their marriage eventually collapsed because she wanted to have children but her husband didn’t. He had apparently undergone surgery that will prevent him from procreating before they got married but he kept it from Carpenter.

This development greatly soured their marriage which ended with a bang after 14 months. According to sources, the second reason the marriage did not survive was the fact that Burris was a spendthrift. He preferred to live way beyond his means and that did not sit well with Carpenter.
