Eric Clapton and Melia Mcenery Dating :

The couple met in 1999 when Clapton attended a party that McEnery had planned for her bosses at Armani. She was under strict instructions that night not to interact with the guests. However, she couldn’t resist asking Clapton for an autograph for her uncle.
Clapton, who had a reputation as a womanizer, has said that from the first moment he met her – there was something about her that made him want to act like a gentleman.
The two went on a date shortly after and then began dating.
They were happy together for a year, but they reportedly broke up on their first anniversary due to the stresses of Clapton’s career.

In late 2000, it was announced that not only were the couple back together but that they were expecting a baby!
On New Year’s Day of 2002, they invited friends and family to partake in the baptism of daughter Sophie Rose, at the Chapel of St Mary Magdalene in Ridley, England.
Right when the guests believed the baptism to be finished, Clapton and McEnery stepped forward and announced that they would also be getting married on that same day.
As of 2018, they have three children together: Julie Rose Clapton (born in 2001) ; Ella May Clapton (born in 2003) & Sophie Belle Clapton (born in 2005)
