Tracy Morgan has had an eventful 15 months or so. Last June, he was almost killed in a massive car accident when a Wal-Mart semi truck collided with his limo bus, putting Morgan in a coma and claiming the life of fellow comedian James McNair. There were reports that Morgan might never perform again, and he was a no-show at “SNL 40.”
Then, the dust began to settle. Morgan settled with Wal-Mart and emerged from his media isolation with a few interviews. He got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was announced that he would host “Saturday Night Live” in October.
Now, the happy ending: The comedian just got married.
“After almost losing Tracy last year, I am so grateful to finally be married to the love of my life,” Megan Wollover, Morgan’s fiancee since 2011, told People. The couple are parents of a 2-year-old daughter.

In June, Morgan told People that he had wanted to marry Wollover immediately after his accident, but “everything in time.”

This is not Morgan’s first marriage. In an epic relationship that ran for 23 years, the 46-year-old comedian was married to his high-school sweetheart Sabina Morgan, with whom he had three sons. The couple divorced in 2009 after a reported eight years of separation and the “40 Rock” star’s repeated troubles with alcohol.
Morgan, in and out of love, has had many ups and downs since his divorce. In 2010, he got a kidney transplant after he suffered complications from diabetes, with which he was diagnosed in the 1990s.
“I feel fortunate to have the disease but not have it affect me,” he told Time in 2009. “My first season on ’30 Rock,’ I wasn’t taking the disease seriously. Then one day I got really sick. The doctor was like, ‘Hey, listen, we may have to take your foot.’ That was it for me. Now I take my insulin every day. My blood sugar doesn’t get over 120.”
The donor? An ex-girlfriend — yes, an ex-girlfriend — he dated after his divorce: Tanisha Hall, who provided the much-needed organ. The comedian thanked her from the red carpet at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild awards.
“I’d like to thank Tanisha for donating my kidney to me,” Morgan said.
