Joni Lamb, the co-founder and president of the Daystar Television Network, died on May 7, 2026, at the age of 65. She faced serious medical issues, which rapidly deteriorated after a recent back injury heightened her health challenges. However, even amid such a condition, Joni was able to spend her last moments before death at her home in Bedford, Texas. Her company, Daystar, announced her death in a heartbreaking post, recalling her faith in God even in the face of hostilities. Her demise brought her ex-husband, Marcus Lamb and his affair under the spotlight.
What made Joni Lamb’s first husband admit to infidelity on live television?
Daystar Television Network co-founder and the first husband of Joni Lamb, Marcus Lamb, admitted to an extramarital affair live on television. On November 30, 2010, he used Daystar’s flagship show, Celebration (where he appeared with his then-wife, Joni Lamb), to reveal that he had an “inappropriate relationship” with a woman several years ago. He, however, shifted the situation entirely to a different direction, claiming that he was a victim of some undesired circumstances, which forced him to come clean about his infidelity years after it took place.
