 Cindy McCain, Sen. John McCain's widow, has purchased another home in north-central Phoenix.

According to public real-estate records, the Cindy Hensley McCain Family Trust paid $2.28 million for a 5,000-square-foot house not far from a property the couple sold a decade ago. The country-style French home has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, marble floors, two laundry rooms and a large backyard with a gazebo.

As John McCain made his second presidential run in 2008, the couple sold for $3.2 million a nearly 14,500-square-foot house on 2 acres near Central and Glendale avenues.

In 2007, the McCains moved to a new condominium on 24th Street and Camelback Road near Phoenix's Arizona Biltmore. According to real estate listings, that condo does not seem to be for sale. Richard and Alejandra Stark sold the house purchased by the McCain trust late last week.

Cindy McCain is board chairwoman and majority owner at Hensley Beverage Co., a role she assumed when her father and company founder Jim Hensley died in 2000. A representative for Cindy McCain did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the purchase of the house.

The McCains also have a ranch on the side of the river in Cornville, Arizona, and condos in La Jolla, California; Coronado, California; and Arlington, Virginia; according to the 2008 presidential race campaign disclosures by John McCain.

Personal Life of Cindy McCain

John had been married to Carol McCain for 14 years, when he met and liked Cindy Hensley, so they couldn't make their love official right away. Shortly after meeting Cindy, John began filing for divorce from his then-current wife and in January 1980, unfortunately, they stopped living together as a couple. Two months later, Carol gave her consent to John's divorce, and the proceedings were finalized in April 1980. Meanwhile, despite his divorce proceedings with his wife, John's relationship with Cindy continued to grow.

A month after John's divorce became official, he married Cindy on May 17, 1980, at a beautiful ceremony at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, Phoenix. In order to save their marriage from the financial crisis in the future, both John and Cindy signed a pre-nuptial agreement under which she would keep most of the assets of her family under her maiden name; they also kept their individual finances separate while they were married, and they paid separate income taxes on their earnings.

For the next 3 years of her life, Cindy devoted her time and resources to help her husband win his bid to be elected to the U.S. Senate by launching fund-raisers and committing her personal finances to foot the campaign bills. She would go with him from door to door campaigning as well. This period's stress would tell Cindy, as she suffered several miscarriages in the couple's bid to procreate.

Cindy McCain's husband was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor – glioblastoma in 2017, and though he underwent surgery and treatment to solve this issue, he eventually died on August 25, 2018, aged 81.
