Phil Spector's Wife

Airdate: 6/2/2009

Phil Spector's beautiful young wife is speaking to INSIDE EDITION for the first time since her husband was sentenced to 19 years to life in prison.

Rachelle Spector stood by her husband’s side throughout the trial. He was found guilty of killing actress Lana Clarkson inside his castle-like home in Los Angeles.

The age difference is startling, Phil is 69-years-old and Rachelle’s 28.  She wasn’t even born when the legendary music producer created hits like "Be My Baby," "Unchained Melody" and John Lennon’s "Imagine."

They met when Phil walked into Datana’s, a celebrity hotspot, in 2003. Rachelle, a former model, was there attending a party. She says it was love at first sight for Spector, who is estimated to be worth more than $50 million. Rachelle tells INSIDE EDITION that “she’s always been attracted to older men” and says she even likes his outrageously frizzed-out hair.

Rachelle shares with INSIDE EDITION never before seen wedding photos and says “before we were even married I knew the whole gold digger thing was going to come up...but that’s not the case.” Rachelle says she already misses her husband and she still sees herself as Mrs. Phil Spector. She says she will stick with the marriage even though he might spend the rest of his life behind bars.
