A Look into Dan Short’s Family
Short is married to his beloved wife, Melissa Martel Short, whom he met in military grad school. The two are blessed with a son Zman Short.
The small family of three is very close-knitted, which we can witness through the social handle of Short’s wife. However, although Short is a renowned personality, he doesn’t have a social handle for his personal life updated. And only has a Twitter account to showcase his professional updates.

Celebrating their nineteenth wedding anniversary, Melissa shared a post on December 12, 2018, where the couple was seen dining out in a restaurant with their friends. And the post was followed by several of their well-wishers sending them best wishes on their special day.

Happy Sweet 16 to this smart, handsome young man. The only one who calls me Mom, he makes me smile and fills my heart with joy. So thankful God blessed us with him! Zman you are loved more than you'll ever know.
Now, the 17-year-old is already a graduate who graduated from Norfolk Christian School. And, the proud mother shared the graduation picture of Zman through her Instagram on June 6.
