Chief Meteorologist Cecily Tynan has officially announced her retirement from Philadelphia’s 6abc Action News / WPVI-TV. After a distinguished broadcasting career of 35 years, she has decided to bid goodbye to the field. Over three decades, Cecily established herself as a trusted name in meteorology and became a household name in the Delaware Valley. Her final broadcast is set to air on August 31, 2026. Ahead of that, here’s a look at her two marriages, including her lesser-known high school romance with Michael Badger.
All on Cecily Tynan’s first husband Michael Badger and her kids
Cecily Tynan walking away from meteorology after decades of service has brought the spotlight on her personal life. She was married twice, with her first husband maintaining a low-key life since their divorce. Before her union with Greg Watson, she was married to Michael Badger. He is (or was) reportedly a school teacher by profession. Being a non-celebrity, he came to prominence after his wedding with 6ABC Action News chief meteorologist, Cecily Tynan.
Cecily Tynan met Michael Badger when they attended Washington and Lee University. They both reportedly graduated in 1991, which makes it likely that they are about the same age. The exact timeline of the duo’s dating and marriage is not publicly known, as back then she was at the beginning of her career and hadn’t become widely popular yet. By 1993, the former couple was engaged, and they officially tied the knot in April 1996.
