Patrick’s relationship with Lindsay has remained compassionate despite the unimaginable loss at the center of their family. Just four days after the killings, Patrick publicly asked people to forgive Lindsay in a statement posted to the family’s GoFundMe.
“I want to ask all of you that you find it deep within yourselves to forgive Lindsay, as I have,” he wrote. “The real Lindsay was generously loving and caring towards everyone – me, our kids, family, friends, and her patients. The very fibers of her soul are loving. All I wish for her now is that she can somehow find peace.”
More than a year later, Patrick made clear that his view had not changed. In an October 2024 profile with The New Yorker, he said, “I wasn’t married to a monster—I was married to someone who got sick.”
Speaking about the life that disappeared after the tragedy, Patrick also told the publication, “There’s no house anymore. There are no kids. All that’s left is me and Lindsay.”
Patrick declined to discuss the status of their marriage at the time out of respect for Lindsay, but he reiterated his forgiveness after completing the Boston Marathon in April 2024. “I said I forgive my wife and I do,” he told The New Yorker.
Patrick and Danis’ full interview with Ross Douthat airs Sunday, September 20, at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and Paramount+.
