DARVA CONGER
Name: Darva Conger
Born: 21 September 1966
Darva Conger (born September 21, 1966) is a former emergency room nurse who was
selected as the winner on the 2000 reality television show Who Wants to Marry a
Multi-Millionaire?.
In the show, which aired as a single 2-hour broadcast, 50 women competed to be
the bride of an unknown millionaire they did not see during the show except in
silhouette. At the end of the show on February 15, 2000, "millionaire" Rick
Rockwell chose Conger to be his wife and married her on the spot. In addition to
being wed to Rockwell, Conger also won a 3-carat (600 mg) diamond ring and more
than US$100,000 in prizes. After the honeymoon, it was announced that Conger was
seeking an annulment, saying Rockwell had misrepresented himself. The annulment
was finalized on April 5. Conger was the focus of media attention for not only
winning the "contest" but also for getting an annulment so quickly after the
marriage.
After the show aired, Conger made numerous public comments about
how she was offended by Rockwell's forcibly kissing her on stage, that they
never consummated their marriage, and how the entire episode went against her
set of morals. She posed nude for Playboy magazine in the August 2000 issue.
She has since remarried, to Jim Arellano, and currently lives with her mother,
former actress Susan Harrison, in Thousand Oaks, California.
