Gina and Patrick were high school sweethearts and reunited at their 10-year reunion where they rekindled their relationship after both being in previous marriages, and ended up getting married in 1994. They reside in Memphis where Gina manages the catering division of Neely’s Bar-B-Que, which makes up more than 25% of the restaurant’s total sales, and she also oversees the sale of all Neely’s products. Gina is a member of the Memphis Restaurant Association and is also involved in The Women’s Empowerment Summit for the Memphis Housing Authority, The Dreamers Club for the National Civil Rights Museum, and is also an active member of the Cummings Street Missionary Baptist Church. In 2013, the couple announced that they were closing their Neely’s Bar-B-Que restaurants in Memphis indefinitely, but encouraged fans and patrons to continue to enjoy their New York location. The Neelys have two daughters, Spenser (Gina’s daughter from a previous marriage) and Shelbi, who is six years younger than her sister.
