Patrick De La Chenais, a count and an agricultural biologist, is known to many as the ex-husband of famous American actress, Stefanie Powers. He is 74 years old at the moment and although his net worth is not known, it is guesstimated that his ex-wife Stefanie Powers is worth $9 million.
Chenais dated Powers for a year before they got married. However, they didn’t stay long together as the marriage ended barely six years into it. Their union was short-lived and much hasn’t been heard of Patrick since their split as he is rather a private person compared to his ex-wife.
Stefanie Powers’ ex-husband Patrick is possibly single as there is no news about any spouse or partner afterward. Aside from his marriage to the Hart to Hart actress, other personal details about his life and career are hard to come by. Below are the things we know.

Patrick De La Chenais’ Age and Family—What We Know about His Background
Patrick De La Chenais is a 74-year-old light-skinned French agricultural biologist. He was born in Versailles, France, on the 7th of May 1951. That’s as far as many know about this ex-husband of Stefanie Powers. The identities of his parents and siblings are nowhere to be found.
There is no mention of his personal life or family anywhere, except his marriage to Stefanie Powers. Being a count, it is most likely that he is from a royal family and holds a royal title. That’s as far as we can guess. Nevertheless, he plays Polo, which is common among French men.
The Frenchman Is 8 Years Younger Than His Ex-wife
While most people find it disturbing for the woman to be older than the man in a relationship, others do not care about age difference; Patrick and Stefanie were of the latter. When he and Stefanie got married in 1993, Patrick was forty-two years old at that time while the American actress was fifty-one.
Powers was born in Hollywood, California, on the 2nd of November 1942. This means she is 82 years at the moment and eight years older than her ex-husband De La Chenais. Stefanie Powers had been married before she met Patrick, and even after their divorce she had other partners, but the same cannot be said of Patrick. His love life and relationships are not known to the public.
Patrick De La Chenais’ Net Worth Came from His Career as an Agricultural Biologist
Stefanie Powers’ ex-husband Patrick De La Chenais is an agricultural biologist. This is what he does for a living, in addition to being a polo player. Disregarding these, there are no records of any other occupation and it is had to tell if he has any business interests. It is thus difficult to tell what he is worth.
Nonetheless, several platforms have claimed that his ex-wife is worth $9 million. Patrick is not an actor like his ex-wife or a public figure. Hence, details of his wealth are not on display to the public. This is why comparing his net worth to that of Stefanie Powers is pointless, but both of them are doing well for themselves.
He Dated Stefanie Powers for a Year before They Got Married in 1993
Recall that earlier, it was noted that the American actress had partners before and after she married Patrick. Stefanie’s first marriage was to Gary Lockwood, an American actor. The union lasted for about eight years before they got divorced in 1972.
Afterward, she was a companion to William Holden for a long time, but their relationship ended after William’s death in 1981. It was more than ten years after William’s death that she met Patrick. She had a relationship with Patrick for a year before they got married in 1993.
Stefanie is not only an actress; she also plays polo just like Patrick. It is possible that they met while at it because it is one thing the former couple had in common. In 1999, they both decided to divorce after five years due to personal reasons. They have no children together.
Where Is Stefanie Powers Now?
The American actress at some point was diagnosed with lung cancer; this was in November 2008. Around the same time she lost her mother at age 96 in January 2009, she underwent surgery and removed part of her right lung.
That notwithstanding, Stefanie Powers remains active in Hollywood. She was seen as Sandra in two episodes of On the Verge in 2021 and is starring as ASA Jeanine Perez in Prism, an action film currently in its pre-production stage.
Who Did Stefanie Powers Marry after Patrick De La Chenais?
She is not married to anyone at the moment and never remarried after her divorce from Patrick De La Chenais who happens to be her second husband. Her first husband was American actor Gary Lockwood: they got married in 1966 and divorced in 1972.
Apart from De La Chenais and Lockwood, Powers had serious relationships with William Holden and Tom Carroll. Though she never got married to either of them, she dated them until they passed on; respectively from 1972 to 1981 and 2000 to 2014.
Stefanie Power has no children from any of her relationships and marriages, but she’s mom to some pets.
