Holly Dunn’s Wife 

You might be confused about why Holly shared her intimate life with the woman? Or there may arise a question in your mind regarding her sexuality. Well, the late singer was quite secretive about it. She never revealed her gender; however, when she shared her wedding vows with Melissa Taylor (woman), the media claimed her lesbian.

But it is still unclear whether the late singer is lesbian or straight. It seems like Dunn might be a strong advocate of the LGBTQ community, so, to support them, she married Taylor. 

After the unfortunate death of Holly, Melissa also kept herself far away from the limelight. Since then, what has she been doing, where is she? It is still unknown. It seems like Taylor prefers to keep herself far away from the media and might be busy with her professional work.
